some slash commands not available

[jvsteiner]

for example, /mcp does not seem to be recognized:

Unfortunately, many built-in commands do not work well with the Claude Code SDK; some produce no output, others get the conversation into a broken state, and many other variations exist, so we had to blocklist them.

For MCPs in particular, we're planning to expose the MCP servers that you have configured in Zed to Claude Code.

If you want to use other builtin slash commands, I'd recommend opening an issue in anthropics/claude-code so they add support in the SDK.

One important missing command is /model -- how do I switch between Opus and Sonnet?

[Traviskn]

I was pretty surprised to see the /model command missing, even if this is using the sdk I would expect some way to pick between opus/sonnet even if the editor has to add a ui option to pass it through to the sdk

[jvsteiner]

fair enough - but im finding /compact is necessary for this integration to be useful. at the moment, I can only run a few changes before running out of context, and I end up having to have claude reread the whole project from scratch to get the bearings

[AlecDusheck]

I heard Anthropic has been pushing a bunch of changes to the SDK... hopeful they get around to fixing the limitations mentioned in this issue

[benbrandt]

Initial support for /compact is now available: #51
Hopefully this helps you give it another try!

Really missing /clear too, is there a work around for this?

[benbrandt]

@MPietrala is there a reason you would use /clear instead of cmd+n to create a new thread?

[MPietrala]

Good point, was looking for a new command shortcut. Will try that then. Thanks.
