Safety notesGenerated documentation is a draft; verify examples, flags, endpoints, and behavior against the actual source before publishing. Do not let the command invent supported options, output formats, API fields, or guarantees that are not present in the code or official docs. If you add dynamic shell injection or allowed tools to the command file, scope those permissions narrowly because the command can run local commands.Installs and runs server packages (pip install fastapi uvicorn pydantic sqlalchemy) and starts an ASGI web server that listens on a network port. Review dependencies and bind to trusted interfaces before exposing endpoints.Installs npm packages (remark, unified) and runs scripts that read your Markdown files and write composed/transformed output to disk, overwriting files at the target path; review before running on an existing knowledge base.Review generated changes and commands before applying them; slash commands can ask the agent to read, write, edit, or run tools in the current project. Limit scope to the intended files and run in a trusted checkout when the command analyzes code, tests, security findings, or generated output.May produce commands or configuration for live infrastructure, CI, releases, or indexing; test changes in staging or dry-run mode first. Use least-privilege API tokens and review workflow, deploy, DNS, cache, and release changes before applying them to production.
Privacy notesThe target source files, existing docs, examples, error messages, and command arguments may be sent into the model context. Do not include private API keys, customer records, unreleased roadmap details, or production logs in generated examples.API endpoints and database integrations can read and persist user-supplied data. Validate and scope what the service stores or logs, and keep database credentials and connection strings out of committed code.Inputs can include source files, prompts, logs, account metadata, repository details, and operational context that may be sent to the configured AI model. Redact secrets, customer data, private URLs, credentials, and proprietary implementation details before sharing prompts, reports, or generated artifacts.Prompts, source files, logs, errors, dependency metadata, and generated reports may be sent to the configured AI model during command execution. Redact secrets, customer data, private repository details, and proprietary code before sharing command output outside the workspace.Inputs can include repository metadata, workflow logs, deployment settings, domain names, analytics exports, and service configuration. Redact tokens, account IDs, private URLs, customer data, and proprietary deployment details before sharing generated reports or prompts.
