# Prompts # Creating Agents and Commands create a claude agent and command. the agent will first use tool to call weather api to fetch karachi weather in degree centigrade and then read instructions from @input/input.md to transform the result and update the @output/output.md # Invocation difference between agents and commands I have claude agents @.claude/agents folder and claude commands @.claude/commands folder. I want to invoke agents and commands differently. For example, I want to invoke agents with @agent_name and commands with @command_name. How can I achieve this? ## Claude Answer For Commands (Slash Commands) Commands in .claude/commands/ are invoked using the slash prefix: /command-name For your update-readme command: /update-readme For Agents (Sub-agents) Agents in .claude/agents/ are invoked using the Task tool within commands or directly: #### Using Task tool in your code/commands Task(subagent_type="readme-writer", prompt="Generate README content") Or by mentioning them in your instructions to Claude Code. | What | How | Example | |----------------------|------------------------|-------------------------------------| | Commands | /command-name | /update-readme | | Agents (in commands) | Task tool | Task(subagent_type="readme-writer") | # based on @prompts/README.md claude answer, what I understand is commands must be invoked by using / on claude and it cannot be invoked like "claude use - Commands are invoked using the slash prefix syntax: /command-name - Example: /update-readme However: You can also invoke commands in natural language by asking Claude Code to use them. For example: - "use the weather command to fetch the weather" - "Run the weather slash command"
