`/reload-skills`

slash never mined documented JSON

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.

Re-scan skill and command directories so skills added or changed on disk during the session become available without restarting. Reports how many skills are available and how many were added or removed

Anthropic's own wording. Read off Commands, captured 2026-09-28.

First cited

No release's published evidence quotes this name. The ledger indexes the Evidence lines of every changelog on this site, so this says nobody here has ever quoted it; it says nothing about how old the name is.

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.

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.

Names beside it

Every slash command in the inventory starting /reload, up to twelve of them.

/reload-plugins never mined
Reload all active plugins to apply pending changes without restarting. Reports counts for each reloaded component and flags any load errors. When the reload would change which MCP tools are loaded and invalidate the prompt cache, the command warns and skips unless you pass --force. Also available in non-interactive mode (-p), the Agent SDK, and the desktop app, where it runs only on input typed directly into the session and doesn't apply plugin MCP server changes; requires Claude Code v2.1.260 or later. See Apply plugin changes without restarting

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.
