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
- Install Claude Code CLI v2.1.71
- Run
/loop 1m hello(or any/loopcommand) - 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
