Root Cause

On the desktop web client (claude.ai/code), pressing / in the prompt input on the first turn of a fresh cloud session does not open the slash-command autocomplete menu. We know skills/commands are loaded because invoking them by typing the full name and hitting Enter works fine. Only the typeahead UI fails to mount.

Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

  • Skills are confirmed loaded server-side: the agent reports them listed in its system context from turn 0, and invoking by full name routes correctly via the Skill tool.
  • Workaround: type the full command name (no autocomplete) and submit, or send a dummy first prompt.

What's Wrong?

On the desktop web client (claude.ai/code), pressing / in the prompt input on the first turn of a fresh cloud session does not open the slash-command autocomplete menu. We know skills/commands are loaded because invoking them by typing the full name and hitting Enter works fine. Only the typeahead UI fails to mount.

Environment

  • Client: claude.ai/code (web)
  • Browser / OS: Chrome 147.0.7727.138 (Official Build) (arm64) / MacOS 26.3.1 (a)
  • Session type: cloud (CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_ENVIRONMENT_TYPE=cloud_default)
  • Claude Code version (reported by container): 2.1.42
  • Environment runner: release-b5ac58d65-ext
  • Reproducibility: every fresh session

What Should Happen?

Expected: filtered dropdown of available commands appears, as it does in the desktop CLI.

Actual: no dropdown. Subsequent characters are appended as plain text. The prompt submits as prose unless I type the full command name from memory.

Additional observations

  • Skills are confirmed loaded server-side: the agent reports them listed in its system context from turn 0, and invoking by full name routes correctly via the Skill tool.
  • Workaround: type the full command name (no autocomplete) and submit, or send a dummy first prompt.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open a new cloud session at claude.ai/code on a project that has skills available (built-in /openspec-*, /review, etc.).
  2. Before sending any prompt, click into the input box.
  3. Type /.

Expected: filtered dropdown of available commands appears, as it does in the desktop CLI.

Actual: no dropdown. Subsequent characters are appended as plain text. The prompt submits as prose unless I type the full command name from memory.
