Slash commands

Add a working directory for file access during the current session. Typing a partial path shows matching directory suggestions; press `Tab` to accept one. Most `.claude/` configuration is not discovered from the added directory. You can later resume the session from the added directory with `--continue` or `--resume`

Enable or disable the advisor tool, which consults a second model for guidance at key moments during a task. Accepts `opus`, `sonnet`, or a full model ID. Claude Code doesn't offer Fable 5 as the advisor and rejects `/advisor fable`. Without an argument, opens a picker

As of v2.1.198, running `/agents` prints a reminder to ask Claude to create or manage subagents, or to edit `.claude/agents/` or `~/.claude/agents/` directly. On v2.1.197 and earlier, opens an interactive interface for creating and managing subagent configurations

Spawn a Claude Code on the web session that watches the current branch's PR and pushes fixes when CI fails or reviewers leave comments. Detects the open PR from your checked-out branch with `gh pr view`; to watch a different PR, check out its branch first. By default the cloud session is told to fix every CI failure and review comment; pass a prompt to give it different instructions, for example `/autofix-pr only fix lint and type errors`. Requires the `gh` CLI and access to Claude Code on the web

Detach the current session to run as a background agent and free this terminal. Pass a prompt to send one more instruction before detaching. Monitor the session with `claude agents`. To copy the conversation into a new background session while this one keeps running, use `/fork`. Alias: `/bg`

**Skill.** Orchestrate large-scale changes across a codebase in parallel. Researches the codebase, decomposes the work into 5 to 30 independent units, and presents a plan. Once approved, spawns one background subagent per unit in an isolated git worktree. Each subagent implements its unit, runs tests, and opens a pull request. Requires a git repository. Example: `/batch migrate src/ from Solid to React`

Create a branch of the current conversation at this point, so you can try a different direction without losing the conversation as it stands. Switches you into the branch and preserves the original, which you can return to with `/resume`. To run a copy as a separate background session instead of switching into it, use `/fork`; to hand a side task to a subagent that reports back into this conversation, use `/subtask`

Ask a quick side question without adding to the conversation. Without a question, reopens the overlay on your most recent side question from this session so you can browse earlier answers; with no side questions yet, it asks for one. Before v2.1.212, `/btw` required a question

Report a bug or share your conversation. You choose how much session history to include and confirm on a consent screen before anything is sent. When you're signed in to Anthropic on a first-party connection, the report goes to Anthropic; on a third-party provider, or without Anthropic credentials, Claude Code writes the report to a local archive under `~/.claude/feedback-bundles/` that you forward yourself. Alias: `/share`. Before v2.1.212, `/bug` and `/share` were aliases of `/feedback`

Move this session to a new working directory. The conversation's prompt cache is preserved: the new directory's `CLAUDE.md` is appended as a message instead of rebuilding the system prompt. The session is relocated to the new directory's project storage, so `--resume` and `--continue` find it from there. Prompts you to trust the directory if you haven't worked in it before. Typing a partial path shows matching directory suggestions; press `Tab` to accept one. The suggestions require Claude Code v2.1.206 or later. To grant access to an extra directory without moving the session, use `/add-dir`. Restrict or disable `/cd` targets with `Cd` permission rules. Requires Claude Code v2.1.169 or later; earlier versions report `Unknown command: /cd`

Configure Claude in Chrome settings

**Skill.** Load Claude API reference material for your project's language (Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, Ruby, C#, PHP, or cURL) and Managed Agents reference. Covers tool use, streaming, batches, structured outputs, and common pitfalls. Also activates automatically when your code imports `anthropic` or `@anthropic-ai/sdk`. Run `/claude-api migrate` to upgrade existing Claude API code to a newer model: Claude asks which files to scan and which model to target, then updates model IDs, thinking configuration, and other parameters that changed between versions. Run `/claude-api managed-agents-onboard` for an interactive walkthrough that creates a new Managed Agent from scratch

Start a new conversation with empty context. Pass a name to label the previous conversation in the `/resume` picker. To free up context while continuing the same conversation, use `/compact` instead. Resume the previous conversation with `/resume`, or, in the same Claude Code process, restore it from the rewind menu's previous-session entry. Aliases: `/reset`, `/new`

**Skill.** Review the current diff for correctness bugs and for reuse, simplification, and efficiency cleanups. Pass `--fix` to apply findings to your working tree, `--comment` to post them as inline GitHub PR comments, or `ultra` to run a deep cloud review. From v2.1.154, `/simplify` runs a separate cleanup-only review that applies fixes without hunting for bugs. See Review a diff locally for effort levels and targeting

Set the prompt bar color for the current session. Available colors: `red`, `blue`, `green`, `yellow`, `purple`, `orange`, `pink`, `cyan`. Use `default` to reset, or run with no argument to pick a random color. When Remote Control is connected, the color syncs to claude.ai/code. Also available in non-interactive mode (`-p`); requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later

Free up context by summarizing the conversation so far. Optionally pass focus instructions for the summary. See how compaction handles rules, skills, and memory files

Open the Settings interface to adjust theme, model, output style, and other preferences. From v2.1.181, pass one or more `key=value` pairs to set a setting directly without opening the interface, for example `/config thinking=false`. From v2.1.182, named shorthand keys are also accepted, such as `/config theme=dark` or `/config model=sonnet`. The `key=value` form also works in non-interactive mode (`-p`) and from the Claude mobile app via Remote Control. Run `/config --help` to list every settable key with its options. Alias: `/settings`

Visualize current context usage as a colored grid. Shows optimization suggestions for context-heavy tools, memory bloat, and capacity warnings. In fullscreen mode the per-item breakdown is collapsed to keep the grid visible. Pass `all` to expand it

Copy the last assistant response to clipboard. Pass a number `N` to copy the Nth-latest response: `/copy 2` copies the second-to-last. When code blocks are present, shows an interactive picker to select individual blocks or the full response. Press `w` in the picker to write the selection to a file instead of the clipboard, which is useful over SSH

Alias for `/usage`

**Skill.** Design guidance for charts, graphs, and dashboards. Claude picks the chart form for the data, assigns color by role, validates the palette for colorblind safety and contrast with a bundled script, and applies mark, interaction, and accessibility rules. Uses a brand-neutral placeholder palette that you replace with your own. Requires Claude Code v2.1.198 or later

**Skill.** Enable debug logging for the current session and troubleshoot issues by reading the session debug log. Debug logging is off by default unless you started with `claude --debug`, so running `/debug` mid-session starts capturing logs from that point forward. Optionally describe the issue to focus the analysis

**Workflow.** Fan out web searches on a question, fetch and cross-check sources, and synthesize a cited report

Authorize design-system access for `/design-sync` with your claude.ai account

**Skill.** Convert your repo's React design system and upload it to Claude Design, so designs it produces use your real components. Optionally name the design system, for example `/design-sync Acme DS`. A first-time sync verifies every component and can take a few hours on a large repo. Available on the Anthropic API; on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS the underlying tool can't reach claude.ai, so the command is unavailable

Continue the current session in the Claude Code Desktop app. Requires macOS or Windows and a Claude subscription. Alias: `/app`

Open an interactive diff viewer showing uncommitted changes and per-turn diffs. Use left/right arrows to switch between the current git diff and individual Claude turns, and up/down to browse files. Press Enter to open the selected file's diff, scroll it with up/down or PageUp/PageDown, and press Esc to return to the file list. As of v2.1.198, the open viewer also refreshes automatically when the repository's git state changes outside the session, such as a branch switch or commit in another terminal

**Skill.** Run a setup checkup that diagnoses issues and can fix them. Checks installation health, including duplicate or leftover installs, `PATH` problems, and unparseable settings files. Finds unused skills, MCP servers, and plugins versus their context cost, flags slow hooks, and checks for a newer version on your release channel. Deduplicates local `CLAUDE.md` files against checked-in ones, trims checked-in `CLAUDE.md` files by cutting content Claude could derive from the codebase, and migrates the always-loaded guidance that remains into skills and nested `CLAUDE.md` files that load on demand. The trim cuts sections such as directory layouts, dependency lists, and architecture overviews, and keeps pitfalls, rationale, and conventions that differ from tool defaults. Also offers to make auto mode your default and to pre-approve frequently denied read-only commands. Reports findings first and asks for confirmation before changing anything. From the terminal, `claude doctor` prints read-only installation diagnostics without starting a session. Alias: `/checkup`. The `CLAUDE.md` trim check requires Claude Code v2.1.206 or later. Before v2.1.206, the version check compared Homebrew installs against the `autoUpdatesChannel` setting rather than the installed cask's channel. Before v2.1.205, `/doctor` opened a read-only diagnostics screen and pressing `f` sent the report to Claude

Set the model effort level. Accepts `low`, `medium`, `high`, `xhigh`, `max`, or `ultracode`; available levels depend on the model, and `max` and `ultracode` are session-only. `ultracode` is a Claude Code setting that combines `xhigh` reasoning with automatic workflow orchestration. `auto` resets to the model default. Without an argument, opens an interactive slider; use left and right arrows to pick a level and `Enter` to apply. Takes effect immediately without waiting for the current response to finish. Also available in non-interactive mode (`-p`) with a level argument, where it applies to the current session only and isn't saved as your default; requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later. On Fable 5, Opus 4.8, and Opus 4.7, a non-interactive `/effort` reports `Not applied` while the model-default effort hold is in force, so pass `--effort` at launch instead

Exit the CLI. In an attached background session, this detaches and the session keeps running. Alias: `/quit`

Export the current conversation as plain text. With a filename, writes directly to that file. Without, opens a dialog to copy to clipboard or save to a file

Toggle fast mode on or off. In non-interactive mode (`-p`), `/fast` works only in a session launched with fast mode in its `--settings` value, for example `claude -p --settings '{"fastMode": true}'`; the toggle then applies to the current session only and isn't saved as your default, and in any other non-interactive session the command reports that fast mode isn't available. Requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later

Send product feedback about Claude Code. Opens the same dialog as `/bug` with the same consent step and sending rules

**Skill.** Scan your transcripts for common read-only Bash and MCP tool calls, then add a prioritized allowlist to project `.claude/settings.json` to reduce permission prompts

Toggle the focus view, which shows only your last prompt, a one-line tool-call summary with edit diffstats, and the final response. As of v2.1.198, the tool-call summary also counts the subagents launched in the turn and collapses completed background-task notifications into a single count. The selection persists across sessions; set `viewMode` in settings to override it. Only available in fullscreen rendering

Copy the current conversation into a new background session and keep working here. The copy starts with everything in this conversation up to now and runs as its own row in agent view; the two sessions are independent from that point on. Pass a prompt and the copy starts working on it immediately; without one it waits in agent view for its first prompt. To hand a side task to a subagent whose result comes back into this conversation, use `/subtask`. To switch into a copy yourself, use `/branch`. Requires Claude Code v2.1.212 or later; on v2.1.161 through v2.1.211 `/fork` starts a forked subagent instead, and before v2.1.161 it is an alias for `/branch` unless forked subagents were enabled, by setting `CLAUDE_CODE_FORK_SUBAGENT` to `1` from v2.1.117 or by a server-side rollout. When agent view is turned off, `/fork` keeps the forked-subagent behavior

Set a goal: Claude keeps working across turns until the condition is met. With no argument, shows the current or most recently achieved goal. `clear`, `stop`, `off`, `reset`, `none`, or `cancel` removes an active goal early

Write a JavaScript heap snapshot and a memory breakdown to `~/Desktop`, or your home directory on Linux without a Desktop folder, for diagnosing high memory usage. The `.heapsnapshot` file contains your full conversation and credentials, so don't share it. See troubleshooting

**Skill.** Run a prompt repeatedly while the session stays open. Omit the interval and Claude self-paces between iterations. Omit the prompt and, where available, Claude runs an autonomous maintenance check or the prompt in `.claude/loop.md`. Example: `/loop 5m check if the deploy finished`. See Run prompts on a schedule. Alias: `/proactive`

Manage MCP server connections and OAuth authentication. Run with no argument to open the interactive list, pass `reconnect <server>` to reconnect one disconnected server, or pass `enable`/`disable` with a server name or `all` to change connection state without opening the dialog. Also available in non-interactive mode (`-p`), where running it with no argument prints a text summary of server status instead of opening the list; requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later

Edit `CLAUDE.md` memory files, enable or disable auto-memory, and view auto-memory entries

Show QR code to download the Claude mobile app. Aliases: `/ios`, `/android`

Switch the AI model and save it as your default for new sessions. For models that support it, use left/right arrows to adjust effort level. With no argument, opens a picker; press `s` on a row to switch for the current session only. The picker asks for confirmation when the conversation has prior output, since the next response re-reads the full history without cached context. Once confirmed, the change applies without waiting for the current response to finish. Also available in non-interactive mode (`-p`) with a model argument instead of the picker, where it applies to the current session only and isn't saved as your default; requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later

Share a free week of Claude Code with friends. Only visible if your account is eligible

Manage allow, ask, and deny rules for tool permissions. Opens an interactive dialog where you can view rules by scope, add or remove rules, manage working directories, and review recent auto mode denials. Alias: `/allowed-tools`

Discover Claude Code features through quick interactive lessons with animated demos

Removed in v2.1.91. Ask Claude directly to view pull request comments instead. On earlier versions, fetches and displays comments from a GitHub pull request; automatically detects the PR for the current branch, or pass a PR URL or number. Requires the `gh` CLI

View and update your privacy settings. Only available for Pro and Max plan subscribers

Open Claude FM lo-fi radio in your browser. Prints the stream URL when no browser is available. Not available on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, or Claude Platform on AWS

Generate a one-line summary of the current session on demand. See Session recap for the automatic recap that appears after you've been away

View the changelog in an interactive version picker. Select a specific version to see its release notes, or choose to show all versions. The notes appear in your transcript without entering the conversation Claude sees. Before v2.1.208, the viewed notes entered the conversation, including the entire changelog when showing all versions

Reload all active plugins to apply pending changes without restarting. Reports counts for each reloaded component and flags any load errors. When the reload would change which MCP tools are loaded and invalidate the prompt cache, the command warns and skips unless you pass `--force`

Re-scan skill and command directories so skills added or changed on disk during the session become available without restarting. Reports how many skills are available and how many were added or removed. Added in v2.1.152

Make this session available for Remote Control from claude.ai. Running it while signed out prints that Remote Control requires a claude.ai subscription and tells you how to sign in; before v2.1.206 it reported `Unknown command: /remote-control`. Alias: `/rc`

Choose the default environment for cloud agents

Rename the current session and show the name on the prompt bar. Without a name, auto-generates one from conversation history. Also available in non-interactive mode (`-p`); requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later

Resume a conversation by ID or name, or open the session picker. As of v2.1.144, background sessions appear in the picker marked with `bg`; one that is still running can't be resumed here, so attach to it from `claude agents` or stop it there first. Alias: `/continue`

Run a fast single-pass, read-only review of a GitHub pull request by number. With no argument, lists open PRs to pick from; text after the PR number becomes additional review instructions. From v2.1.186 through v2.1.201, `/review` instead ran the same multi-agent engine as `/code-review medium`. For a multi-agent review at a chosen effort level, use `/code-review <level> <pr#>`; for a cloud-based review, see `/code-review ultra`

Rewind the conversation and/or code to a previous point, or summarize from a selected message. See checkpointing. Aliases: `/checkpoint`, `/undo`

**Skill.** Launch and drive your project's app to see a change working, not only passing tests. See Run and verify your app. Requires Claude Code v2.1.145 or later

**Skill.** Teach `/run` and `/verify` how to build, launch, and drive your project's app from a clean environment by writing a per-project skill. Requires Claude Code v2.1.145 or later

Analyze pending changes on the current branch for security vulnerabilities. Reviews the git diff and identifies risks like injection, auth issues, and data exposure

Configure Amazon Bedrock authentication, region, and model pins through an interactive wizard. Only visible when `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_BEDROCK=1` is set. First-time Amazon Bedrock users can also access this wizard from the login screen

Configure Google Cloud's Agent Platform authentication, project, region, and model pins through an interactive wizard. Only visible when `CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1` is set. First-time Google Cloud's Agent Platform users can also access this wizard from the login screen

**Skill.** Review the changed code for cleanup opportunities and apply the fixes. Four review agents run in parallel, covering reuse of existing helpers, simplification, efficiency, and whether the change is at the right level of abstraction. From v2.1.154, the review doesn't look for correctness bugs. Use `/code-review` to find bugs. On earlier versions, `/simplify` is equivalent to `/code-review --fix`. Pass a path or PR reference to review a specific target

List available skills. As of v2.1.121, type to filter the list by name. Press `t` to sort by token count. Press `Space` to cycle a skill's visibility to Claude and the `/` menu, then `Enter` to save

Alias for `/usage`. Opens on the Stats tab

Open the Settings interface on the Status tab, showing version, model, account, and connectivity. Works while Claude is responding

Configure Claude Code's status line. Describe what you want, or run without arguments to auto-configure from your shell prompt

Order Claude Code stickers

Stop the current background session. Only available while attached to a background session; the transcript and any worktree are kept. To detach without stopping, use `/exit` or press `←`

Spawn a forked subagent: a background subagent that inherits the full conversation and works on the task while you keep working. Its result returns to this conversation when it finishes. To copy the conversation into a separate background session instead, use `/fork`. Requires Claude Code v2.1.212 or later; on v2.1.161 through v2.1.211 this command is `/fork`. When agent view is turned off, `/subtask` isn't available and `/fork` keeps the forked-subagent behavior

View and manage background work in the current session, including subagents that have finished. Also available as `/bashes`

Generate a team onboarding guide from your Claude Code usage history. Claude analyzes your sessions, commands, and MCP server usage from the past 30 days and produces a markdown guide a teammate can paste as a first message to get set up quickly. For claude.ai subscribers on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, also returns a share link teammates can open directly in Claude Code

Pull a Claude Code on the web session into this terminal: opens a picker, then fetches the branch and conversation. Also available as `/tp`. Requires a claude.ai subscription

Configure terminal keybindings for Shift+Enter and other shortcuts. Only visible in terminals that need it, like VS Code, Cursor, Devin Desktop, Alacritty, or Zed

Change the color theme. Includes an `auto` option that matches your terminal's light or dark background, light and dark variants, colorblind-accessible (daltonized) themes, ANSI themes that use your terminal's color palette, and any custom themes from `~/.claude/themes/` or plugins. Select **New custom theme…** to create one

Set the terminal UI renderer and relaunch into it with your conversation intact. `fullscreen` enables the flicker-free alt-screen renderer. With no argument, prints the active renderer

Draft a plan in an ultraplan session, review it in your browser, then execute remotely or send it back to your terminal

Run a deep, multi-agent code review in a cloud sandbox with ultrareview. Pass a PR reference to review that pull request, or a branch name to change the comparison base. The preferred invocation is now `/code-review ultra`, and `/ultrareview` remains as an alias. Includes 3 free runs on Pro and Max, then requires usage credits

Open the upgrade page in your browser to switch to a higher plan tier. When the browser fails to open, the command shows a sign-in prompt without printing the URL

Show session cost, plan usage limits, and activity stats. On a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan, includes a breakdown of usage by skill, subagent, plugin, and MCP server. See the cost tracking guide for details. `/cost` and `/stats` are aliases

Configure usage credits, or request them from your admin, when you hit a limit. On Pro and Max plans, opens an in-CLI dialog to buy usage credits, set a monthly spend limit, and configure auto-reload; on Claude Code versions before v2.1.207 and on other plans, opens the usage-credits billing page in your browser, except that Team and Enterprise members without billing access instead send a usage-credits request to their admin from the CLI, after confirming in a dialog that the request notifies their admins. Before v2.1.211, Claude Code sent the request without a confirmation step. When no browser can open the billing page, for example over SSH, the command prints the URL to visit instead; this requires Claude Code v2.1.205 or later, and earlier versions showed nothing in that case. Previously `/extra-usage`

**Skill.** Confirm a code change does what it should by building your project's app, running it, and observing the result, rather than relying on tests or type checks. See Run and verify your app. Requires Claude Code v2.1.145 or later

Removed in v2.1.92. To toggle between Vim and Normal editing modes, use `/config` → Editor mode

Toggle voice dictation, or enable it in a specific mode. Requires a Claude.ai account
