# Example Command (Legacy `commands/` Format)

> **Note:** This demonstrates the legacy `commands/*.md` layout. For new plugins, prefer the `skills/<name>/SKILL.md` directory format (see `skills/example-command/SKILL.md` in this plugin). Both are loaded identically — the only difference is file layout.

This command demonstrates slash command structure and frontmatter options.

## Arguments

The user invoked this command with: $ARGUMENTS

## Instructions

When this command is invoked:

1. Parse the arguments provided by the user
