Custom command (`cci`) in this channel In the material collected for Coding Agents in Practice, a custom command is discussed as part of the Claude Code workflow that Kieran Klaassen and Nityesh Agarwal describe — a practice where repetitive prompts are captured so they can be re-run instead of retyped, letting a small team compound its engineering output.

[^11bdf6ed-1223-5cba-afde-fa9b4ce88712@284]- It belongs to the same family of practices as compounding prompts — turning one good prompt into repeated leverage. [^320b90ca-d366-5cb1-9dbb-89b66cd5893b@256]- Its value shows up in the channel's core theme: humans orchestrate and verify, agents execute. [^7d2a9b32-b281-5828-9eb1-bf812129ae58@426]
