5 Secret claude codes nobody is talking about!

Number 1. /btw.

Drop this while claude is working to ask a side question without adding it to the conversation history. This lets you ask ask questions without bloating the context

Number 2. /context.

This code shows a visual breakdown of what's filling your context window (memory files, tool outputs, etc.), so you know what to trim before compacting and see what’s consuming context.

Number 3. /branch.

This powerful code forks the current conversation at this point so you can try a different approach without losing your original thread.

Number 4. /background.

decomposes a large, codebase-wide change into independent units and runs each one in its own git worktree via background subagents.

Number 5. /doctor

runs a full setup checkup: diagnoses install issues, finds unused skills/MCP servers/plugins eating context, flags slow hooks, and can trim bloated CLAUDE.md files.
