What's Wrong?
Any attempt to use a slash command during a remote-control session, either directly in the local CLI or from the remote controller, results in Claude not recognizing the command and responding to it as if it was a prompt.
What Should Happen?
Slash commands ('/') should function normally during remote control sessions and get invoked in the local CLI.

⏺ /plugin isn't in my available skills list. Could you clarify what you're looking for? For example:
- Are you trying to manage Claude Code plugins/MCP servers?
- Install or configure a specific plugin?
- Something else?
Steps to Reproduce
- Start a Claude remote control session (/remote-control) and let it connect
- Connect to it from another device - Android app, mobile web or desktop web
- Attempt to use any slash command such as /plugin, /init.
