What's Wrong?

I have upgrade my code from claude-code sdk to claude-agent-sdk and the claude-agent-sdk does not recognise the custom slash commands

--Not working
import { query } from "@anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk";

// Use a custom command
for await (const message of query({
prompt: "/security aiSDKOpenAIAgent.js",
options: { maxTurns: 30 }
})) {
console.log(message);
}

This code used to work earlier but is not working any more.

I have correct folder setup even the cli is able to recognize the custom command and also able to run the output from claude code cli works correctly

What Should Happen?

The new sdk should recognise the custom slash commands
