A Claude Code slash command, read out of the shipped bundle. No mined inventory carries it: everything below comes from what this site has written about it.

Presence across releases
The miner has never read a build containing this name. It is here because a changelog entry of ours names it, which is evidence that it existed and not evidence of which releases carried it. The inventory starts at v2.1.138 and everything older than that was never mined.
Changelog entries naming it
-
v2.1.234Some slash commands respond without waiting for a redraw
/help, /theme and /add-dir now respond instantly; /config and /advisor do only if a remote flag turns on.

-
v2.1.221In non-interactive runs, built-in help and feedback no longer reserve those command names
You can name a plugin or custom command help or feedback and it will work in claude -p runs.

A reference table page is one whose own table defines this name, and it is where the description above came from. A page that mentions it carries the name somewhere in its text and may say nothing about it at all. Every page carrying it.
Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the slash command does. All slash commands.
