Claude Code v2.1.285 ·

Unknown slash commands are checked differently before being treated as file paths

Typing an unknown slash command now checks the name first and skips the file-path check for forms that are not local paths

What

Slash commands are instructions you type starting with /. When you type one Claude Code does not know, it used to always check your disk to see whether the text was really a file path. It now:

  • first checks whether the name is valid
  • skips the disk check for forms that are not local paths
  • drops commands that a new check flags
Why

This affects what happens when you paste or type a path that starts with /, and whether it is treated as a command or as a path.

How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtWhat the two new checks look for is not known.
