+## Advanced Command Features
+
+For complex commands, consider implementing:
+
+### Validation Phases
+Commands like `/refactor` and `/implement` should include validation:
+```
+/refactor validate  # Check completeness, find loose ends
+/implement validate # Verify integration completeness
+```
+
+### Extended Thinking
+Use `<think>` blocks for sophisticated analysis in:
+- Complex architectural refactoring
+- Security vulnerability detection
+- Multi-step problem solving
+
+### Command Integration
+Minimal, pragmatic suggestions for natural workflow:
+- Suggest `/test` after major changes
+- Suggest `/commit` at logical checkpoints
+- Avoid over-engineering command chains
