[BUG] /resume slash command skips session picker, directly switches to previous session #13555
Description
Preflight Checklist
- I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
When using /resume from within an active session, it directly switches to the previous conversation instead of showing the session picker.
What Should Happen?
/resume should display the interactive session picker UI, identical to running claude --resume from terminal. The picker should show:
- List of previous sessions grouped by forked sessions
- Session metadata (time, message count, branch)
- Keyboard shortcuts: P to preview, R to rename, / to search
- Ability to select which session to resume
Currently claude --resume (terminal) shows this picker correctly, but /resume (slash command) skips it entirely.
Error Messages/Logs
Steps to Reproduce
- Start Claude Code:
claude - Have any conversation (send at least one message)
- Type
/resumeand press Enter - Observe: Session switches directly to previous conversation
- Expected: Session picker UI should appear
For comparison:
- Exit Claude Code
- Run
claude --resumefrom terminal - Observe: Session picker UI appears correctly
Claude Model
Sonnet (default)
Is this a regression?
Yes, this worked in a previous version
Last Working Version
Unknown exact version, but /resume previously showed the picker. Noticed after updating to 2.0.64.

Additional Information
Environment details:
- Node: v25.2.1
- npm: 11.6.2
Session info (may be relevant if there's a performance optimization):
- Projects: 6
- Sessions in current project: 424
- Total session data size: 180MB
Per CHANGELOG.md, /resume should have full picker functionality:
- v2.0.27: "Added current branch filtering and search to session resume screen"
- v2.0.64: "Improved
/resumescreen with grouped forked sessions and keyboard shortcuts for preview (P) and rename (R)"

Ok, I found the issue (which might be the feature) that if I do
/resume(with a space), it will load the last conversation, but if I type/resume, it will show the list.omriariav commentedon Dec 10, 2025
This is more of a UX (DX) issue... the autocomplete adds the space for you when you select /resume from the dropdown, which then triggers the "resume last" behavior instead of showing the picker
