claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [DOCS] Agent view dispatch input slash-command autocomplete matching behavior is undocumented

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view

Section/Topic

"Dispatch new agents" section, specifically the dispatch input prefix table.

Current Documentation

The dispatch input prefix table at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/agent-view#dispatch-new-agents documents the /<command> prefix:

/<command> — Suggest skills and commands to dispatch as the prompt

No further description of autocomplete matching behavior (prefix match, substring match, or otherwise) appears anywhere on the page.

What's Wrong or Missing?

The dispatch input in agent view supports slash-command autocomplete starting in v2.1.153 (suggesting native slash commands and bundled skills in addition to project skills), and starting in v2.1.157 the autocomplete matches substrings rather than only prefix matches. Neither behavior is documented.

The /<command> table row only states that suggestions appear — it does not explain what gets suggested, how matching works, or how the autocomplete differs from the main interactive prompt's / behavior.

Suggested Improvement

After the /<command> row in the dispatch input prefix table, add a paragraph or note describing the autocomplete behavior:

Typing / in the dispatch input shows an autocomplete menu of available slash commands: native commands like /compact and /model, bundled skills, and project skills from .claude/skills/. The menu filters as you type, matching substrings anywhere in the command name — /bug finds both /fix-bug and /bug-report without requiring the prefix to match from the start.

Impact

Low - Minor confusion or inconvenience

Additional Context

This behavior arrived across two releases:

• v2.1.153: autocomplete in the dispatch input began suggesting native slash commands and bundled skills, not just project skills
• v2.1.157: the autocomplete matching changed from prefix-only to substring matching
