Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing slash command handling in the text composer. Identify how commands are registered and executed. Look at the referenced issues for /rageshake (#4881), /converttodm, and /converttoroom to understand the required functionality. Then implement the remaining commands by following the patterns used for other commands.
