Tab to accept one. Most .claude/ configuration isn't discovered from the added directory. You can't add most network paths, such as \\server\share. After a successful add, your DirectoryAdded hooks run. When you run it while Claude is responding, Claude Code asks you to confirm the directory right away, and once you confirm, Claude's next tool call in the same turn can access it. Before v2.1.234, Claude Code queued the command until the turn finishedEnable or disable the advisor tool, which consults a second model for guidance at key moments during a task. Accepts
fable, opus, sonnet, or a full model ID. fable requires Fable access. Without an argument, opens a picker. In a session without an interactive terminal, or over Remote Control, pass the model or off as an argument; with no argument there, the command prints the current advisor as text. These forms require Claude Code v2.1.260 or laterPrint 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/artifact-capabilities

Load the reference for the runtime capabilities a published artifact can use, such as calling your connectors or offering a file download, including which ones your account has. Claude normally loads it on its own before building a page that uses one. Available where artifacts are
/artifact-diagramming
Bundled skill
Load diagramming guidance for Claude to follow in artifacts: when a diagram helps, what to draw, and how to write inline SVG that stays legible in light and dark themes. Requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or later
Draft
autoMode.environment entries from your project and recent sessions, then review the draft and save it to your user settings. On a Pro, Max, Ultra, or Team plan, requires Claude Code v2.1.228 or later, or v2.1.233 or later on native Windows. On an Enterprise plan or with a Claude Console API key, requires v2.1.283 or later. If the command is missing, see /auto-mode-setup returns "Unknown command"Set the auto-compact window: how full the context window gets before Claude Code compacts automatically. Pass a size such as
500k, or auto to return to the window tuned for your model. Claude Code saves the value to user settings and applies it to the current session. See Set the auto-compact window for accepted values and what overrides it. Without an argument, opens a dialog that shows the current window. Requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or laterSpawn a cloud 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 cloud sessionsDetach 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/batch <instruction>
Bundled 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 worktree. Each subagent implements its unit, runs tests, and opens a PR or reports what happened. Requires a git repository or a
WorktreeCreate hook that creates the worktrees. Outside a git repository, /batch requires Claude Code v2.1.281 or later. Example: /batch migrate src/ from JavaScript to TypeScriptCreate 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 /subtaskAsk a side question about the current session without adding to the conversation. If you run
/btw without a question, Claude Code shows your most recent side question so you can browse earlier answers; if you haven't asked one yet, Claude Code prints a usage lineReport 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. In the VS Code extension, /bug opens the extension's own feedback dialog instead; requires Claude Code v2.1.229 or later. When you run it while Claude is responding, Claude Code opens the dialog immediately. Before v2.1.232, Claude Code queued the command until the turn finished. Alias: /share. Before v2.1.212, /bug and /share were aliases of /feedbackMove this session to a new working directory, keeping the conversation. Type a partial path to see matching directory suggestions; press

Bundled skill
Review the current diff, or a PR number, branch, or path you pass, for correctness bugs. Depending on your model and effort level, the review also covers cleanup opportunities. Pass
--fix to have Claude apply the findings, --comment to post them on the GitHub PR or GitLab merge request, or ultra to run a deep cloud review. Posting to a GitLab merge request requires Claude Code v2.1.257 or later. With ultra on a github.com PR target, pass --post to preselect posting the finished findings to the PR in the launch dialog; --post requires Claude Code v2.1.227 or later. See Review locally with /code-review for the effort levels, targeting, and how it relates to /simplify. Alias: /reviewSet 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)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. Pass one or more
key=value pairs to set a setting directly without opening the interface, for example /config thinking=false, /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. The key=value form can't turn on a setting that needs your confirmation in the panel, such as autoContinueAtUsageLimit, though it can turn one off. Run /config --help to list the keys it accepts. Alias: /settingsVisualize current context usage as a colored grid. Shows optimization suggestions for context-heavy tools, memory bloat, and capacity warnings. When the conversation exceeds the context window, the output includes a warning showing how far over the limit you are and which command frees space. In fullscreen mode,
/context collapses the per-item breakdown to keep the grid visible. Pass all to expand itCopy 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 or blockquotes 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 SSHAlias for

/design [brief]
Bundled skill
Draft UI mockups, screen flows, landing pages, or posters as artboards on one canvas, published as a Claude Design artifact, for example
/design a settings screen for a mobile banking app. You edit the artboards in a desktop browser, and your edits save automatically. You can export each artboard as PNG or PDF. Requires Claude Code v2.1.265 or later, a session where artifacts are available, and an account where the Design template is available; if your organization has turned that template off, /design doesn't draft designs. Available on the Anthropic API. On Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, artifacts aren't available, so the command is unavailable thereGrant Claude access to Claude Design, or withdraw it. When a reply from Claude asks you to run
/design consent, type it at the Claude Code prompt yourselfAuthorize design-system access for

Bundled skill
Run a setup checkup that diagnoses installation, settings, extension, and
CLAUDE.md problems and proposes fixes that Claude applies after you confirm. For what the checkup covers, or to audit your instructions with prompt-audit instead, see Check your setup with /doctor. The prompt-audit subcommand requires Claude Code v2.1.283 or later. Alias: /checkupSet the effort level:
low to xhigh, max, or auto; status prints it. ultracode or ultracode on turns ultracode on for the session, and ultracode off turns it off; the ultracode key persists. max is session-only. The on and off arguments require Claude Code v2.1.284 or later. If you run /effort while Claude is working, see when the new level starts. Works in -p on v2.1.205 or laterExit the CLI.

Toggle fast mode on or off. Run it while Claude is responding and Claude Code toggles fast mode without waiting for the turn to end, though the running turn finishes at its original speed. Before v2.1.242, Claude Code decided from a feature flag it fetched from Anthropic whether to run the command mid-turn or queue it until the turn finished, and always queued it in a session that doesn't fetch feature flags. Availability in non-interactive mode with
-p is limited; see Toggle fast modeSend product feedback about Claude Code. Opens the same dialog as
/bug, with the same consent step, sending rules, and mid-turn behavior. In sessions with Claude-drafted feedback, /feedback with no argument opens the drafts queue instead, where you review, edit, send, or discard the drafts Claude queued; the queue includes an option to write a new report in the dialog.

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. From a Remote Control client, run /focus [on|off] to turn the focus view on or off for the current session only, without changing your saved selection; this requires Claude Code v2.1.281 or later. The VS Code extension offers its own Focus view as a command-menu toggle, stored as an extension setting, independent of viewModeCopy the current conversation into a new background session and keep working here. Pass a prompt and the copy starts working on it immediately; without one it waits in agent view for its first prompt. Except when the copy edits in place, Claude Code instructs it to create a worktree of its own before making code changes; the isolation instruction requires Claude Code v2.1.221 or later. 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. When agent view is turned off, /fork starts a forked subagent insteadSet a goal: Claude keeps working across turns until the condition is met or the goal clears for another reason.

Using slash commands
Type / in the Claude Code prompt to open the menu. Commands take arguments after a space, such as /model opus or /compact focus on the failing tests. Arguments in angle brackets are required and ones in square brackets are optional.
Your own commands live in .claude/skills/ for a project or ~/.claude/skills/ for every project. Plugins add namespaced commands like /plugin-name:command. Browse thousands of community skills in the skills directory.
Frequently asked questions
How do I see all slash commands in Claude Code?
Type / at the start of the prompt to open the command menu, then keep typing to filter it. The menu also lists your own commands, skills, plugin commands and MCP prompts. This page lists the built-in ones with a full description of each.
What is the difference between a slash command and a skill?
Built-in commands such as /compact or /model are coded into Claude Code. Skills are SKILL.md files that Claude can also run on its own when they are relevant; some ship with Claude Code (marked Skill here) and you can write your own in .claude/skills/. Custom commands in .claude/commands/ still work and behave like skills.
How do I create a custom slash command?
Create .claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md (or the older .claude/commands/<name>.md) with a description in the frontmatter and the instructions in the body. It shows up as /<name>. Use the SKILL.md validator on this site to check the frontmatter.
What does /compact do?
/compact summarises the conversation so far and replaces it with the summary, freeing up context window space while keeping the important details. You can pass instructions, for example /compact keep the API design decisions.
