Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.110
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Auth: Claude.ai (Pro/Max)

Summary Plugin-provided slash commands don't appear in the / autocomplete picker in the Claude Code desktop app. Only three commands show: /schedule, /btw, /rewind (all native built-ins or anthropic-skills). No commands from user-installed plugins appear.

What works

  • Terminal (claude CLI): plugin commands appear and work correctly
  • Cowork mode: commands work correctly
  • All plugins load successfully (claude plugins list shows ✔ enabled for all)
  • The underlying skills ARE loaded — the model can see and invoke them via the Skill tool (e.g. commit-commands:commit, pr-review-toolkit:review-pr, etc.)
  • Built-in commands (/btw, /rewind, /schedule) appear in desktop app normally

What doesn't work

  • Plugin-provided commands do not appear in the / autocomplete picker in the Claude Code desktop app
  • This affects all plugin sources: claude-plugins-official, knowledge-work-plugins, financial-services-plugins, openai-codex, local plugins
  • Desktop app only — terminal CLI works fine

Reproduction

  1. Install any plugin with a commands/ directory (e.g. commit-commands)
  2. Open the Claude Code desktop app (not terminal)
  3. Type / — only built-in commands appear, no plugin commands
  4. Run the same session via claude in terminal — plugin commands appear correctly

Plugins installed (all ✔ enabled): commit-commands, code-review, pr-review-toolkit, feature-dev, ralph-loop, hookify, agent-sdk-dev, superpowers, financial-services-plugins suite, knowledge-work-plugins suite, codex@openai-codex

What Should Happen?

Additional context The terminal CLI correctly shows and executes plugin slash commands. The desktop app appears to have a separate command loading path for the autocomplete picker that is not picking up plugin-provided commands. Cowork mode works, suggesting the underlying skill data is accessible.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by investigating the command loading path in the desktop app, which seems to be separate from the terminal CLI, and ensuring it correctly picks up plugin-provided commands.

Guidance

  • Verify that the plugin-provided commands are correctly installed and enabled by checking the claude plugins list output and ensuring all relevant plugins are marked as ✔ enabled.
  • Compare the command loading mechanisms between the terminal CLI and the desktop app to identify any discrepancies that might be causing the issue.
  • Test the desktop app with a minimal set of plugins to isolate if the issue is specific to certain plugins or a general problem with plugin command detection.
  • Review the changelog or release notes for versions 2.1.109 and later to see if any changes were made that could affect plugin command loading in the desktop app.

Example

No specific code example is provided due to the nature of the issue, which seems to be related to the integration of plugins within the Claude Code desktop app rather than a code snippet issue.

Notes

The fact that this worked in a previous version (2.1.80) and stopped working after an upgrade suggests a regression introduced in version 2.1.109 or later. The issue being specific to the desktop app and not the terminal CLI indicates a potential difference in how commands are loaded or handled between these two environments.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by using the terminal CLI for commands until the desktop app issue is resolved, as the terminal correctly shows and executes plugin slash commands. This recommendation is based on the information provided, which suggests a regression in the desktop app's ability to load plugin commands, and the terminal CLI provides a functional alternative.
