What's Wrong?

During a session, Claude created a custom slash command called /brevet-app and
told me to invoke it in my next session to resume work. However, the command
file was placed in .claude/skills/brevet-app/SKILL.md instead of
.claude/commands/brevet-app.md.

When I started a new session and typed /brevet-app, it was not recognized
because Claude Code looks for user-invocable slash commands in
.claude/commands/, not .claude/skills/.

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior:

Either:

• Claude should create slash command files in .claude/commands/<name>.md (the

documented location), or

• .claude/skills/ should be a recognized lookup path for slash commands

Actual Behavior:

• Claude creates the file at .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md
• Tells the user to invoke /<name> in the next session
• The command doesn't resolve, leaving the user stuck

Workaround:

Manually copy the file:
mkdir -p .claude/commands
cp .claude/skills/brevet-app/SKILL.md .claude/commands/brevet-app.md

Environment:

• macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
• Claude Code v2.1.27
• Model: Opus 4.5
