||||
|
||||
1. **`model` Frontmatter Field** 🔴 **CRITICAL MISSING**
|
||||
- **What's Missing**: No documentation of the `model` frontmatter option
|
||||
- **Official Doc**: "model: Designates a specific AI model for execution"
|
||||
- **Impact**: Users cannot optimize model selection per command
|
||||
- **Recommendation**: Add section on model selection strategy
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# SHOULD ADD:
|
||||
model: claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022
|
||||
# or: claude-3-5-haiku-20241022 (for fast, simple commands)
|
||||
# or: claude-opus-4-20250514 (for complex reasoning)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. **`allowed-tools` Comprehensive Patterns** 🟡 **INCOMPLETE**
|
||||

|
||||
- **What's Missing**:
|
||||
- More sophisticated pattern matching examples
|
||||
- Tool inheritance explanation
|
||||
- Bash command-specific patterns like `Bash(git status:*)`
|
||||

|
||||
- **Recommendation**: Expand with real-world pattern examples
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
# SHOULD ADD MORE EXAMPLES:
|
||||
allowed-tools: Bash(git *:*), Read(*), Grep(*) # All git commands
|
||||
allowed-tools: Bash(npm test:*), Read(*), Grep(*) # Specific npm commands
|
||||
allowed-tools: mcp__* # All MCP tools
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Extended Thinking Integration** 🟡 **MISSING**

|
||||
|
||||
```markdown
|
||||
# SHOULD ADD:
|
||||
## Extended Thinking in Commands
|
||||
|
||||
Commands can trigger extended thinking by using specific phrases:
|
||||
- "think" - Basic extended thinking
|
||||
- "think hard" - More computation
|
||||
- "think harder" - Even more computation
|
||||
- "ultrathink" - Maximum thinking budget
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Tool Permission Inheritance** 🟡 **MISSING**

## Comparison to Official Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
### Areas Where Templates Exceed Official Docs
|
||||
|
||||
1. **MCP Server Integration**
|
||||
- Templates provide much more detail than official docs
|
||||
- Clear persistent vs temporary storage guidance
|
||||
- Practical use cases
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Code Style Standards**
|
||||
- CLAUDE_TEMPLATE.md is far more comprehensive
|
||||
- Production-ready patterns
|
||||

|
||||
- Real-world patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Areas Where Official Docs Have More Detail
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Frontmatter Configuration**
|
||||
- Official docs clearly list all frontmatter options
|
||||
- Templates missing `model` field documentation
|
||||
- Tool inheritance explained in official docs
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Extended Thinking**
|
||||
- Official docs explain thinking budget levels
|
||||
- Templates have no mention of this capability
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Invocation Mechanisms**
|
||||
- Official docs clearly distinguish model-invoked vs user-invoked
|
||||
- Templates don't emphasize this critical difference

The templates provide an **excellent foundation** with particularly strong coverage of:
|
||||
- MCP server integration
|
||||
- Argument handling and file references
|
||||
- Code style and team workflows
|
||||
