The documentation states that commands will be prefixed and will be in a namespace.
I have a command in:
.claude/commands/foo/commit.mdAnd in the TUI, it shows up as:
/commit Make a git commit (project:foo)So, as you can see, there's no actual namespacing of the command itself.
But it does mention the project:foo in the description for some reason.

I think there was some changes made to the slash commands to make them easier to use. But the Claude Code team have not updated the doc yet.
Late reply, but we restored namespacing in v1.0.51. The documentation in https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/slash-commands#namespacing should be up-to-date.
