Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

When typing / in Claude Code CLI to browse available commands, the menu displays a limited number of items. If you have many skills, plugins, or MCP commands installed, there's no way to see the full list without already knowing what to type.

Expected behavior

The / menu should either show all available commands, support scrolling through the full list, or provide a paginated view.

Current behavior

Only a subset of commands are visible. Users must already know (or guess) a prefix to filter down to the command they want.

Proposed Solution

Suggested solutions

  • Allow scrolling through the full command list
  • Add a "Show all" option at the bottom of the truncated list
  • Add a setting in settings.json to configure the max number of displayed items

Additional Context

Why do this

As the skills/plugin ecosystem grows, discoverability becomes harder. New users especially benefit from being able to browse what's available without memorizing command names.

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implement a solution to display all available commands in the Claude Code CLI, such as scrolling, pagination, or a "Show all" option, to improve discoverability.

Guidance

  • Consider adding a scrolling feature to the / menu to allow users to view the full list of commands without filtering.
  • Introduce a "Show all" option at the bottom of the truncated list to provide an easy way for users to access the complete list of commands.
  • Evaluate the proposed setting in settings.json to configure the max number of displayed items, allowing users to customize their experience.
  • Assess the trade-offs between these solutions, considering factors like usability, performance, and user experience.

Example

No specific code example is provided, as the solution requires a deeper understanding of the Claude Code CLI implementation.

Notes

The chosen solution should balance the need for discoverability with potential performance concerns, especially when dealing with a large number of skills, plugins, or MCP commands.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as implementing a scrolling feature or adding a "Show all" option, to improve the user experience and address the discoverability issue.
