Environment
- Platform (select one):
- [ ] Anthropic API
- [ ] AWS Bedrock
- [ ] Google Vertex AI
- [x] Other: Claude MAX Plan
- Claude CLI version: 1.0.25 (Claude Code)
- Operating System: macOS 15.5
- Terminal: Terminal App
Bug Description
Custom commands are being duplicated in the UI. This appears to occur when commands with the same name exist in different scopes. The duplication happens each time I navigate through commands using the keyboard arrow keys. Commands in the duplicated area behave as if they are in an unselectable region and cannot be selected.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create same commands at different scopes. ( ~/.claude/commands/foo-bar.md, ~/**/project/.claude/commands/foo-bar.md)
- Open
claudeat terminal, type/. - Focus the commands using arrow up, down keys.
Expected Behavior
The command list area should not display any unselectable regions, and even if there are commands with the same name, only the actual number of commands should be displayed on the screen.
Actual Behavior
Whenever commands with the same name are focused, the command is duplicated and displayed in the unselectable area of the UI.

Also exists when there is a clash between native and user commands, like /login. (I'm on Linux)
This is intended behavior. Please give your commands unique names. I suppose we could warn when there is a clash
I'll have to disagree: the commands were unique when the full scope was used, ie.
/login(anthropic) vs/project:puppeteer:login. That was also the point of organizing them in subdirectories.I'd prefer to type the full scope when the command is ambiguous than having to make sure no command name ever clash between Claude Code <> user <> project. Also for Anthropic: do you want to potentially break someone workflow anytime you introduce a new command?
I saw the namespacing was restored in 1.0.45:
• Custom slash commands: Restored namespacing in command names based on subdirectories. For example, .claude/commands/frontend/component.md is now /frontend:component, not /component.
Thanks for that! I guess we can close the issue @warpdev?
