Custom slash commands not appearing in autocomplete (Claude Code 1.0.83)

Resolved 💬 9 comments Opened Aug 17, 2025 by michaelgrafwebdev Closed Aug 19, 2025

Description:
Custom slash commands are not appearing when typing "/" despite proper configuration and multiple restarts.

( *Note this is what Claude Code told me to tell you, we tried to resolve after 10 or so attempts, here we are)

Environment:

  • Claude Code version: 1.0.83
  • Platform: macOS (Darwin 24.6.0)
  • Commands location: /Users/webdev/.claude/commands/

Configuration:
// .claude/settings.json
{}

// .claude/settings.local.json
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [...],
"deny": [],
"additionalDirectories": ["/Users/webdev/.claude/commands"]
}
}

Command files:

  • /Users/webdev/.claude/commands/gitcomment.md (522 bytes)
  • /Users/webdev/.claude/commands/invoice-notes.md (2915 bytes)
  • Files have 644 permissions
  • Proper markdown format with # Command Name headers

Expected behavior: Typing "/" should show /gitcomment and /invoice-notes in autocomplete

Actual behavior: No custom commands appear in autocomplete

Troubleshooting attempted:

  • Multiple Claude Code restarts
  • Recreated command files from scratch
  • Tested both relative and absolute paths
  • Cleared configuration conflicts
  • Verified file permissions and format

Question: Do built-in commands (like /help) appear when typing "/"?
