I've just started having the same issue (#1504), and I notice that we're both using nvm/node via Herd. I wonder if that's related?

[amcharles91]

I have the same issue. I tried it in the project folder at .cluade/commands and at the ~/.cluade/commands level. I am on ubuntu with wsl from windows. This was working previously.

[igorkofman]

Thanks for the report. Do the commands not show up in the initial list (potentially a sorting issue) or do they not show up even if you type the command name?

@igorkofman

I run claude in the terminal.

/project and /user don't return any commands

Here's a short video demonstrating this:

This is also happening for me. Sometimes it detects commands, mostly it doesn't. I can't work out why. Using VSCode on Windows, connecting to WSL2. Claude 1.0.10.

A work around is to remove or rename your projects directory in ~/.claude/projects/

I believe there are multiple reports of this issue.

[davidbarker]

This appears to be working for me now. (I didn't manually change anything.)
