It is skipped when a file exists at that path, such as `\/tmp`.\n\n- One field was removed from the usage report sent for unknown commands.\n\n- A step that turned a command alias into its full name before this check was dropped.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis is a small change to how Claude Code handles a mistyped or unavailable command.\n\n- Area: Slash Commands\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
