VS Code extension: register /btw slash command in thin-client registry
Summary
The /btw slash command (Ask a quick side question without interrupting the main conversation) exists in the CLI but is not registered in the VS Code extension's thin-client command registry, so it does not appear in autocomplete or run when typed.
Repro
- CLI version:
2.1.173(Mac arm64) - VS Code extension version:
2.1.173(anthropic.claude-code-2.1.173-darwin-arm64) - In a VS Code Claude Code session, type
/btw <question>— the command does not appear in the slash-command picker and is not dispatched.
Evidence
In the CLI binary, the command is registered with:
{
name: "btw",
description: "Ask a quick side question without interrupting the main conversation",
immediate: true,
argumentHint: "<question>",
thinClientDispatch: "control-request"
}
The thinClientDispatch: "control-request" field indicates this command is designed to be dispatched from a thin client (like the VS Code extension) via a control request. However, the extension's bundled extension.js contains zero references to "btw", so the thin client doesn't list it among its slash commands.
Request
Please add /btw to the VS Code extension's slash-command registry so it surfaces in autocomplete and dispatches the control request to the underlying session.
Environment
- OS: macOS (darwin 25.5.0, arm64)
