Ask HN: Do you use Claude Code or Cursor slash commands?

The idea of reusable prompts via slash commands (like in Claude Code or Cursor) is great. But in practice, I find myself switching between different tools—Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, etc.
I am to lazy to maintain a separate /command file for each tool. Wouldn’t a more general prompt library (e.g. Raycast snippets) be more practical?
Curious to hear from others—do you use these slash commands regularly, or do you prefer a centralized prompt/snippet system?
I have about 25 agents for different tasks, and sometimes I dispatch them to do their individual work, but that usually happens at the beginning, when I build the first scaffold.
For example, I have agents that setup a DB in certain way, or write a logger in a specific way, I have a test agent that writes them, and a test agent that executes ..etc.
However, for the day-to-day, outside of major ground up builds, straight up Claude.
Sending better prompts to Claude adds more value than everything else, in my experience.
