FR: improve slash commands usability
Resolved 💬 7 comments Opened Sep 1, 2025 by zzJinux Closed Jan 5, 2026
Current behavior
Example settings
~/.claude/commands/foo.md
This is just a slash command test.
Say `Hello, world!` to see it in action.
Experiments
Prompt:
/foo
Answer:
> /foo is running…
⏺ Hello, world!
---
Prompt:
/foo
Do you see a slash command?
Answer (error):
> Unknown slash command: foo
Do
↑ It should interpret each line in the prompt separately.
---
Prompt:
Hi
/foo
Bye
↑ In this case, the prompt box does not display the completion helper.
Answer:
⏺ Hi! I see you were testing the /foo slash command. Is there anything specific you'd like help with in your dotfiles repository?
↑ Did it evaluate the slash command? It's not like the first example. There was no running... message as well.
---
Prompt:
If you see three slash commands:
/foo
/foo
/foo
Do what the result of slash command says for each one
Answer:
⏺ I understand you want me to respond to three /foo slash commands. Since the /foo command says to say "Hello, world!" to see it in action, I'll respond to each one:
Hello, world!
Hello, world!
Hello, world!
↑ Still don't know if it's working well.
Improvement suggestion
- Allow slash commands to appear at the start of any line and to appear multiple times.
- Display the completion helper for slash commands anywhere
