/loop command returns 'Unknown skill: loop' in CLI v2.1.71

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 8, 2026 by dbogey Closed Mar 12, 2026

Description

The /loop command, added in v2.1.71, does not work in the CLI. It returns Unknown skill: loop instead of executing.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Claude Code CLI v2.1.71
  2. Run /loop 1m hello (or any /loop command)
  3. Observe error: Unknown skill: loop

Expected behavior

/loop 5m check the deploy should run the given prompt on a recurring 5-minute interval, as described in the 2.1.71 changelog.

Actual behavior

❯ /loop 1m hello
Unknown skill: loop

The command appears to be routed through the skill system rather than being recognized as a built-in slash command.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.71
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 25.3.0)
  • Shell: zsh
