What's Wrong?
When installing via irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex or curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash, claude only sees commands that are right at the root folder <project>/.claude/commands/. It does NOT show namespaced commands in subfolders.
What Should Happen?
Commands in subfolders e.g. <project>/.claude/commands/ns/cmd.md should be available as /ns:cmd. This works fine when installed via NPM.
