DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

/help, /theme and /add-dir now respond instantly; /config and /advisor do only if a remote flag turns on.

Feature flag
tengu_immediate_model_command On for this account, and not off by default

The flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

This account: on · anonymous baseline: on · compiled default in v2.1.234: on

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.234. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you

/help/theme/add-dir/config/advisor
What

Commands can now mark themselves as resolving immediately rather than on the next render pass. /help and /theme do so whenever the flicker-free alternate-screen renderer is active, /add-dir when it is active or when you passed an argument, and /config and /advisor when the tengu_immediate_model_command flag is on, which falls back to off.

Details
  • With an argument supplied, /add-dir is immediate regardless of the renderer.
  • /config and /advisor fall back to the renderer-dependent behaviour when the flag is off.
Evidence

tengu_immediate_model_command

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
