Title: Slash commands (skills) not appearing in editor autocomplete

Description:

Slash commands are not showing up in Claude Code's autocomplete, even after restarting and updating to the latest version. This affects all system skills (e.g., /skill-creator, /pdf, /xlsx, /commit, etc.) — none appear as available commands.

Environment:

• OS: macOS (Darwin 24.5.0)
• Claude Code: [latest after recent update]
• Shell: zsh

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Claude Code editor
2. Type / in the chat/command input
3. Check autocomplete suggestions

Expected behavior:
Slash commands should appear in the autocomplete list (e.g., /skill-creator, /pdf, /xlsx, /commit, etc.)

Actual behavior:
No slash commands appear in autocomplete. Slash commands appear to be unavailable or not initialized.

What I've tried:

• Restarted Claude Code
• Updated to latest version
• Checked multiple slash commands (/skill-creator, /pdf, /xlsx, /commit)

Additional context:
The Skill tool works programmatically (via claude -p or agent invocation), but user-facing slash commands are not discoverable or accessible in the editor interface.

What Should Happen?

Using "/" should show Claude skills from the customisation settings and any custom skills in my .claude/skills

Steps to Reproduce

In claude code on desktop, enter "/skill-creator".
Expect to see the skill in line or auto suggested as it is enabled for my desktop.
Instead I don't see it, only see my .claude/skills
