Coding agents perform best when they start with project context — conventions, layout, where things live, how to test. Atomic generates those files for you.

​
/init

Start a chat with any supported agent and type /init: 
atomic chat -a claude    # or: -a opencode | -a copilot

> /init
The init skill explores your codebase with sub-agents in parallel — locator, analyzer, pattern-finder — and writes:
  • CLAUDE.md for Claude Code
  • AGENTS.md for OpenCode and Copilot CLI
All three agents share the same skills directory (.agents/skills/) — Claude Code reads it through a .claude/skills/ symlink, the others read it directly. See agent-specific files.

​
Other Atomic skills

Skills are auto-discovered by every supported agent. Invoke them by typing /<skill> (Claude Code) or by natural-language reference (OpenCode, Copilot CLI).
SkillTypical invocationPurpose
init/initGenerate CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md by exploring the codebase.
research-codebase/research-codebase "<question>"Dispatch parallel sub-agents to analyze the codebase and write a research doc to research/docs/.
create-spec/create-spec "<research-path>"Produce a technical spec grounded in a research document.
explain-code/explain-code "<path>"Deep-dive explanation of specific code using DeepWiki.
workflow-creatornatural languageGenerate a multi-agent workflow using defineWorkflow + registry.
gh-commit / gh-create-pr/gh-commit, /gh-create-prConventional-commit Git commits and GitHub PRs.
ado-commit / ado-create-pr/ado-commit, /ado-create-prSame for Azure DevOps (adds AB#<id> trailers).
sl-commit / sl-submit-diff/sl-commit, /sl-submit-diffSapling commits and Phabricator diffs.
Run ls .agents/skills/ for the full list on disk.
The research-then-spec flow compounds: /research-codebase "<question>" writes to research/docs/, /create-spec converts the research into an execution spec, and atomic workflow -n ralph -a claude "<spec-path>" builds against the spec. Past research persists, so every investigation feeds future runs.

Native slash commands

Native slash commands (/help, /clear, /compact, /model, /theme, /agents, /mcp, /exit) come from the underlying agent CLI, not Atomic.
