Today's concept: Claude Code slash commands and how to use them
Slash commands aren't shortcuts to Claude, they're shortcuts to different agents, each optimized for a specific job.
Slash commands work this way: /code-review routes to a code-review agent (different than general Claude), /verify runs a verification agent, /deep-research uses a research-specialized agent. Each one has its own training and goals.
In production agentic systems, the router itself is the critical piece, it decides which agent gets the task based on constraints like available tools or required expertise. If you route to an agent without the right capabilities (e.g., a code-review agent without shell access can't catch runtime bugs), you get silent failures. Claude Code makes routing explicit: you type /verify to guarantee the right specialist runs.
Quick check before you scroll: Why would you use /verify instead of just asking Claude "does this code work?"

The answer
/verify routes to a verification agent that actually runs your code and watches for breakage. A casual question might get a text-based review. The specialist agent executes and observes real behavior. In multi-agent systems, task routing beats hoping a generalist does well.
