The app version of Claude Code is missing many built-in slash commands available in the terminal CLI (/status, /compact, /clear, /diff, /config, etc.). Users coming from the terminal experience expect these to be available. The app adds great new capabilities (MCP, browser automation, scheduled tasks) but losing core CLI commands feels like a downgrade.

Request: Port the terminal CLI slash commands to the app version so the experience is consistent across both clients.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Porting the missing terminal CLI slash commands to the app version is likely the most straightforward fix to achieve consistency across both clients.

Guidance

  • Review the terminal CLI codebase to identify and document all available slash commands (/status, /compact, /clear, /diff, /config, etc.) to understand their functionality and implementation.
  • Assess the app version's architecture to determine the best approach for integrating these commands, considering potential differences in technology stack, dependencies, or design patterns.
  • Prioritize the commands based on user expectations and frequency of use, focusing on the most critical ones first to maximize the impact of the initial release.
  • Develop a plan for testing and validating the integrated commands in the app version to ensure they behave as expected and are consistent with the terminal CLI experience.

Notes

The feasibility of porting these commands may depend on the underlying technology and design of the app version, which could introduce complexities or limitations not present in the terminal CLI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the missing slash commands in the app version, starting with the most critical ones, to provide a consistent user experience across both clients. This approach addresses the immediate need for feature parity while allowing for further refinement and optimization in subsequent releases.
