Linux Desktop Commands
Desktop integration slash commands for Linux — open files in apps, show system notifications, interact with the system tray, and control apps from Claude Code.
Claude Code Linux Desktop Slash Commands

A collection of slash commands for Claude Code CLI designed to streamline system administration, optimization, and configuration tasks on Linux desktop systems.
Also provided: a script for setting up a repo-style workspace for Claude Code to focus on sysadmin tasks. The script populates a CLAUDE.md describing the purpose and creates (or on subsequent runs non-destructively syncs) the slash command library in this repo.
Automated Workspace Setup
This repository includes a setup script that creates a dedicated Claude Code workspace for desktop system administration at ~/claude-spaces/desktop-sys-admin.
Run the setup script:
bash ~/repos/github/Claude-Code-Linux-Desktop-Slash-Commands/setup-desktop-sysadmin-workspace.sh
What the script does:
- Creates workspace directory structure at
~/claude-spaces/desktop-sys-admin - Syncs all 93+ slash commands to
.claude/commands/(organized by category) - Generates
CLAUDE.mdwith workspace configuration and instructions - Gathers current system information (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS, network, dev tools) into
context/system-info.md - Creates user-facing
README.mddocumentation - Initializes a git repository for version control
- Sets up
.gitignorefor temporary files
Using the workspace:
cd ~/claude-spaces/desktop-sys-admin
claude-code
Once in the workspace, Claude Code has full context about your system and access to all slash commands. Type / to see available commands organized by category.
Updating the workspace:
Re-run the setup script to sync the latest slash commands and refresh system information:
bash ~/repos/github/Claude-Code-Linux-Desktop-Slash-Commands/setup-desktop-sysadmin-workspace.sh
The script uses rsync to efficiently update only changed files while preserving the directory structure.
Command Structure & Organization
Two Directory Structures
This repository maintains slash commands in two parallel structures:
commands/- Organized by category in nested directories (primary source)commands-flat/- Flattened structure with all commands in one directory
Flattening Workflow
The flatten-commands.sh script converts the categorized structure into a flat structure for easy deployment to Claude Code workspaces.
Run the flattening script:
bash ~/repos/github/Claude-Code-Linux-Desktop-Slash-Commands/flatten-commands.sh
What the script does:
- Clears the
commands-flat/directory - Recursively finds all
.mdfiles incommands/ - Flattens the directory structure by replacing
/with-in filenames - Copies all commands to
commands-flat/
Example transformation:
commands/system-health/system-upgrade.md → commands-flat/system-health-system-upgrade.md
commands/security/probe-vulnerabilities.md → commands-flat/security-probe-vulnerabilities.md
When to use flattening:
- Before copying commands to a Claude Code workspace
- When you need all commands in a single directory
- For easier deployment without preserving category structure
Note: The setup-desktop-sysadmin-workspace.sh script uses the categorized commands/ structure (not the flattened version) to maintain organization in the workspace.
