Unclear The condition that hides /ide is not stated.
What
/ide is the slash command, a command you type starting with /, that connects Claude Code to your code editor (your IDE) and shows the connection status. It can now be hidden or blocked under a condition the members do not name:
/ide gains an isHidden setting that removes it from the command list when an internal check returns a result.
When you run /ide, it now runs a new check first. If that check returns a message, /ide prints the message and stops.
The same check also stops the "Connect Claude to your IDE" tip from appearing.
Separately, the /design-sync skill gains a registryToolId and a description of when to use it, which begins "When the user has started the /design-sync skill ...".
Why
Where /ide cannot work, you now get a message that says so instead of an attempt to connect, and the startup tip no longer points you to a command you cannot use. You may find /ide missing from the command list in those setups.
