# /build - Start Building Skills, Prompts, Agents, or Hooks

**Quick access to the factory-guide orchestrator for building custom Skills, Prompts, Agents, or Hooks.**

---

## Usage

```
/build
/build skill
/build prompt
/build agent
/build hook
```

## What This Command Does

**Without arguments** (`/build`):
- Invokes the **factory-guide** orchestrator
- Asks what you want to build (Skill, Prompt, Agent, or Hook)
- Delegates to appropriate specialist
- Guides you through complete process

**With argument** (`/build skill|prompt|agent|hook`):
- Directly delegates to the specialist:
  - `/build skill` → **skills-guide** agent
  - `/build prompt` → **prompts-guide** agent
  - `/build agent` → **agents-guide** agent
  - `/build hook` → **hooks-guide** agent

## Tips

**For faster workflow**:
- Use `/build skill|prompt|agent|hook` to skip the "what to build" question
- Be specific in your initial request
- Answer questions with examples when helpful

**If unsure**:
- Just use `/build` and let factory-guide guide you
- The agents will ask clarifying questions
- You can always regenerate or customize
