Summary

Adds a Python script (fetch_commands.py) that automatically extracts and downloads all slash commands from the awesome-claude-code README to the user's ~/.claude/commands/ directory. This makes it easy for users to install all available commands with a single script execution, improving the user experience for adopting the curated slash commands.

Verification Checklist

Proposing a change to the Awesome Claude Code repository itself

• Is a PR to improve some aspect of the repository itself, and is not a contribution of a resource to the list.

Additional Context

The script handles various GitHub URL formats (blob URLs, gists) and converts them to raw content URLs for downloading. It includes error handling and rate limiting to be respectful of GitHub's servers.

@kotamat awesome contribution, thanks for taking the time to do this. i will run it asap and get back to you with any comments, but this is very cool. I'm wondering - do you think it would be valuable to do the same thing for CLAUDE.md files? this also sparks an idea of turning this awesome-list into an MCP that could provide users with specific commands for specific cases, or help optimize a command/etc... so i'll try to get to this very soon, thanks for the effort.

In the meantime, can you just add a brief HOW-TO at the top? It looks like this is configured to run off a cloned copy of this repo, but I'd like to be sure what you intend. And also it might be cool to add an option to just pull down the README, keep it in memory while processing, and then release it. But yeah just some really basic setup directions would be helpful.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I'm excited about the MCP idea too - that would be a natural evolution of this concept.

You're absolutely right about needing clearer setup instructions. Yes, the script is currently configured to run from a cloned copy of this repo since it
reads the local README.md file to extract the slash command URLs.

I'd be happy to add a brief HOW-TO section at the top of the README. For the memory-based approach you mentioned, that's a great suggestion - it would make
the tool more portable by fetching the README directly from GitHub rather than requiring a local clone.

Regarding CLAUDE.md files, that would definitely be valuable! The same parsing approach could work well for extracting and organizing those resources too.

Let me know if you'd like me to implement any of these improvements - I can add the HOW-TO section and potentially the remote README fetching option in a
follow-up commit.

hey you might want to take another look at the design because i've added a csv file with metadata for all the resources, prob removes the need or at least changes the logic for parsing the README vs. just reading off the CSV. also, fwiw, i'm probably going to just host copies of all of the files that the licenses permit me to. One advantage of your script though is you can download all the resources even if I can't host them on this repo.

@kotamat could you take a look at the new repo structure and let me know if you think there is still value in this PR? I really appreciate the effort, but I decided to host the resources for posterity (at least the ones that I'm allowed to). I think one advantage of your script is that it would allow people to download resources that I can't host, so let me know what you think - or if you want to work on an MCP or something, let me know.
