/context command output is right-aligned, clears after ~8 seconds, and shows duplicate entries (regression)
Description
The /context command has multiple issues:
- Output is right-aligned instead of left-aligned as it should be
- Output is cleared after approximately 8 seconds, before there's enough time to fully examine it
- Skills appear duplicated in the output
This is a regression - the command was working correctly until approximately 10 days ago.
Steps to Reproduce
- Run
claudeto start a session - Execute the
/contextcommand - Observe the output
Expected Behavior
The context information should be left-aligned, remain visible for examination, and each skill should appear only once.
Actual Behavior
- Output is right-aligned instead of left-aligned (see screenshot)
- Terminal is cleared after ~8 seconds, before user can fully read the content
- Skills appear duplicated in the output (e.g.,
xlsxappears twice,doc-coauthoringappears twice, etc.) - Behavior is consistent across different projects

Environment
- Claude Code version: 2.1.12
- OS: Linux 6.14.0-37-generic
- Platform: linux
Additional Context
- Tested in multiple different projects with the same result
- Last known working: approximately 10 days ago
- Likely introduced in a recent update
- User has both
document-skillsandexample-skillsplugins installed which may explain duplicates, but they weren't showing duplicated before
In the attached file you see how te context is justified on the right rather than on the left
