Spinner tips reference 28 slash commands that aren't shipped — intentional? #1097

Description

Summary

.claude/settings.json spinnerTipsOverride.tips (lines 689-744 of the v4.0.3 release) advertises ~58 slash commands. Cross-checking against .claude/skills/ in v4.0.3 (and Packs/), 28 have no corresponding shipped skill, command, or pack.

The first tip ("77 skills loaded. Type / to see them all.") also doesn't match any reproducible install — v4.0.3 ships 11 top-level skills, 47 total counting nested SKILL.md files.

Phantom commands (listed in spinner tips, no shipped implementation)

Question

Is this intentional? Happy with any answer — just trying to understand:

  1. Kept private — these are your personal skills, not intended for publication. Totally fine; the tips just mislead new users.
  2. Planned / roadmap — they're coming in a future release.
  3. Regression — they shipped once and got removed without the tips being updated.

Some of these (e.g., /feed, /vuln-management, /open-source-management, /javascript-analysis-v2) look genuinely useful. No pressure if they're private — just suggesting the tips get trimmed to shipped commands, or annotated so newcomers aren't hunting for commands that don't exist.

Also: "77 skills loaded" tip

"77 skills loaded. Type / to see them all." — v4.0.3 ships 11 top-level skills (47 total including nested SKILL.md files). Reproducible via find .claude/skills -name SKILL.md | wc -l. Probably worth updating or removing.
