Unclear Whether /claude-test is available for a given account is decided remotely and is not identified.
What
Claude Code has a built-in feature called Claude Test, started with /claude-test . Whether it can be used now depends on your sign-in, and it has new messages:
If it is not ready yet, it says "Claude Test is still getting ready. Type /claude-test in a moment."
If Claude Code did not load its browser helper, it says Claude Test cannot run and points you to /plugin and the --force option.
Why
The messages tell you what to do when Claude Test cannot start yet.

Names in this entry
slash /claude-test New built-in 'Claude Test' plugin runs plain-language specs against your local dev server in a real browser and reports PASS/FAIL
slash /plugin Manage Claude Code plugins . Run with no argument to open the plugin menu, or pass a subcommand such as list, install, enable, or disable to act directly. Claude Code can activate a plugin during the install; the install summary tells you whether it did or whether to run /reload-plugins
cli --force Auto-memory file deletion now rejects every flag except -f or --force, so fewer commands slip through.
