[DOCS] Loop command docs omit `/proactive` alias

Documentation Type

Incorrect/outdated documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands

Section/Topic

/loop command entry and related scheduled-task references

Current Documentation

The docs currently describe only /loop:

/loop [interval] [prompt] | Skill. Run a prompt repeatedly while the session stays open. Omit the interval and Claude self-paces between iterations. Omit the prompt and Claude runs an autonomous maintenance check, or the prompt in .claude/loop.md if present.

And the scheduled tasks guide says:

The /loop bundled skill is the quickest way to run a prompt on repeat while the session stays open.

I could not find any code.claude.com page that mentions /proactive or explains that it is an alias for /loop.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.105 says:

/proactive is now an alias for /loop

But the command and scheduling docs still present /loop as the only user-facing command name. Users who see /proactive in transcripts, examples, or older team instructions have no documentation telling them that it is supported or that it behaves identically to /loop.

This leaves the command surface outdated after v2.1.105 and makes the alias undiscoverable.

Suggested Improvement

Update the /loop documentation to mention /proactive anywhere the command is introduced.

Minimum fix:

• In commands, change the row to something like: `/loop [interval] [prompt] — Alias: /proactive`
• In scheduled-tasks, note near the first /loop description that /proactive is accepted as an alias and uses the same syntax
• Add one example using /proactive, or a short note that existing /loop examples work unchanged with the alias

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
