Save and Reuse Frequent Workflows as Slash Commands

Convert complex multi-step prompts into reusable slash commands.

Save time on repetitive prompts by turning successful workflows into custom slash commands that can be invoked with a single word.

Qwen

The Scenario

You frequently perform the same sequence of actions, such as generating e-commerce marketing copy and publishing it to WeChat.

Before & after

The old way

You manually type long instructional prompts every time you need the AI to perform a specific multi-step task, such as 'clean up imports, then write a test file.' (Time cost: 3–5 minutes per instance)

With AI

Define a custom slash command for your recurring task, then trigger it instantly whenever needed. (Time cost: 1 minute for one-time setup; 5 seconds to reuse)

The Prompt

/save [COMMAND_NAME] [INSTRUCTIONS_FOR_WORKFLOW]

Qwen Code now allows saving complex agentic workflows as custom slash commands, effectively creating 'macros' for your coding AI.
