Commands control Claude Code from inside a session. They provide a quick way to switch models, manage permissions, clear context, run a workflow, and more. Type `/` to see every command available to you, or type `/` followed by letters to filter. A command is only recognized at the start of your message. Text that follows the command name is passed to it as arguments. ## Commands across a typical workflow Most commands are useful at a specific point in a session, from setting up a project to shipping a change. **First session in a repo.** Run `/init` to generate a starter `CLAUDE.md`, then `/memory` to refine it. Use `/mcp` and `/agents` to set up any servers or subagents the project needs, and `/permissions` to set the approval rules you want. **During a task.** `/plan` switches into plan mode before a large change. `/model` and `/effort` adjust how much reasoning you're spending. When the conversation gets long, `/context` shows where the window is going and `/compact` summarizes it down; use `/btw` for a quick aside that shouldn't bloat history. **Running work in parallel.** `/agents` opens the manager for the [subagents](/en/sub-agents) Claude can delegate side tasks to, and `/tasks` lists what's running in the background of the current session. `/background` detaches the whole session to keep running as a [background agent](/en/agent-view) and frees your terminal. For a large change that spans the codebase, `/batch` decomposes it into independent units and runs each in its own [worktree](/en/worktrees). See [Run agents in parallel](/en/agents) for how these approaches relate. **Before you ship.** `/diff` shows what changed, `/code-review` checks the diff for correctness bugs and cleanups and can apply the findings with `--fix`, and `/review` or `/security-review` give a deeper read-only pass. `/code-review ultra` runs a multi-agent review in the cloud. **Between sessions.** `/clear` starts fresh on a new task while keeping project memory. `/resume` and `/branch` let you return to or fork an earlier conversation. `/teleport` pulls a web session into this terminal, and `/remote-control` lets you continue this local session from another device. **When something is wrong.** `/rewind` rolls code and conversation back to a checkpoint, or summarizes part of the conversation. `/doctor` and `/debug` diagnose install and runtime issues, and `/feedback` reports a bug with session context attached. ## All commands The table below lists all the commands included in Claude Code. Most are built-in commands whose behavior is coded into the CLI. Two kinds of entries are marked: * **[Skill](/en/skills#bundled-skills)**: a bundled skill. It works like skills you write yourself: a prompt handed to Claude, which Claude can also invoke automatically when relevant. * **[Workflow](/en/workflows#bundled-workflows)**: a bundled [dynamic workflow](/en/workflows) that fans work out across many subagents and runs in the background. To add your own commands, see [skills](/en/skills). In the table below, `
