/status
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.
Open the Settings interface on the Status tab, showing version, model, account, and connectivity. A Session kind row reads background job · attached or background job · unattended in a background session, depending on whether a terminal is attached, and interactive in any other session. Before v2.1.221, /status didn't show this row. Works while Claude is responding
Anthropic's own wording. Read off Commands, captured 2026-09-28.

First cited
7The earliest release whose published evidence quoted /status was v2.1.191, 24 Jun 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table below.
1 further span in the ledger name it. The list above is the earliest first and stops at 6.
Presence across releases
0The 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.
