Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey Charles!

Putting aside what was reported before, I think it’s quite natural to invoke / mid-chat. / now explicitly invoke commands, skills, and subagents. It’s easy to imagine a prompt like:

This example is a bit over the top, but I hope it expresses the right idea.

I’d be happy to learn about any specific usability issues you run into! The selector should only appear when / is at the start of a new word (if you type foo/bar, it shouldn’t appear).

If you say Hey lets look at /reporting ? Talking about urls, directory paths, etc.. You’re using one of the most common separators in technology for a auto-complete, makes zero sense which is why every other tool (e.g. slack) will only look at slash commands at the front of a input field. Skills are a new thing, why not just use @ for them as well? Or some other truly unique identifier
