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.
