Custom slash commands not available until ~1 minute after startup

[taylor-mitchell-shopify]

Description

Custom slash commands are not visible in the command list immediately after startup. They appear after approximately 1 minute delay, seemingly after background loading completes.

I have no commands in ~/.config/opencode/command/ - only a command defined in the JSON config (~/.config/opencode/opencode.json).

I was able to replicate this issue with both:

• Commands defined as markdown files in ~/.config/opencode/command/
• Commands defined in the JSON config under the command key

Plugins

No response

OpenCode version

1.0.220

Steps to reproduce

1. Have a custom command configured (either as markdown file or in JSON config)
2. Close OpenCode completely
3. Open OpenCode fresh
4. Immediately type / to see available commands
5. Notice custom commands are missing from the list (only built-in commands shown)
6. Wait ~1 minute
7. Type / again - custom commands now appear

I also had this problem. In my case, I tested my MCPs one by one and found that context7 was the problem. I think opencode waits to load all the MCPs first before loading the commands.
