Update — June 25, 2026 (v2.1.191):/rewind can now restore conversation context from before /clear ran — not just generic checkpoints. Background agent stops from the tasks panel are permanent. Registry: /slash-commands/claude-code-rewind. Full changelog: Claude Code 2.1.191 guide.
Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic CLI for reading, editing, and running code in your repo. Beyond natural-language prompts, it exposes 90+ slash commands—typed at the start of a message—that switch models, manage permissions, spawn subagents, review diffs, compact context, and orchestrate long-running work.
This article is a complete command reference, organized the way Anthropic documents them in the Commands reference. It is not a replacement for upstream docs: command availability, version gates, and plan restrictions change frequently. Use this as a map of the surface area and a workflow guide; verify behavior against code.claude.com/docs before you ship team runbooks.
Scan transcripts and add prioritized allowlist to .claude/settings.json
/sandbox
Toggle sandbox mode (supported platforms only)
/install-github-app
Set up Claude GitHub Actions for a repository
/install-slack-app
Install Claude Slack app via OAuth
/web-setup
Connect GitHub to Claude Code on the web via local gh CLI
/team-onboarding
Generate team onboarding guide from 30-day usage history
/run-skill-generator
Write project skill so /run and /verify know how to launch your app (v2.1.145+)
/cd vs /add-dir:/cdrelocates the session (resume finds it from the new directory). /add-dirgrants access without moving—useful for monorepos and cross-repo work. Restrict /cd targets with Cd permission rules.
Session, context, and conversation commands
Command
Purpose
/clear [name]
Empty context; label previous session for /resume (aliases: /reset, /new)
Context usage grid; pass all to expand per-item breakdown
/btw <question>
Quick aside without adding to conversation history
/copy [N]
Copy last (or Nth-latest) assistant response; interactive code-block picker
/export [filename]
Export conversation as plain text
/recap
One-line session summary on demand
/rename [name]
Rename current session (shown on prompt bar)
/resume [session]
Resume by ID, name, or picker; background sessions marked bg (alias: /continue)
/branch [name]
Branch conversation at this point; return to original via /resume
/fork <directive>
Background subagent with full conversation inheritance (v2.1.161+)
/rewind
Rewind code and/or conversation to checkpoint; v2.1.191+ restores context from before /clear (aliases: /checkpoint, /undo)
/goal [condition|clear]
Work until condition met; clear stops early (/goal guide)
/stop
Stop attached background session (keeps transcript and worktree)
/exit
Exit CLI; in background attach, detaches without stopping (alias: /quit)
/branch vs /fork:/branch is you exploring a forked copy. /fork is Claude working in the background while you continue. Before v2.1.161, /fork was an alias for /branch.
Model, effort, and performance commands
Command
Purpose
/model [model]
Switch model; picker supports session-only switch with s
/effort [level|auto]
Set effort: low, medium, high, xhigh, max, ultracode, or auto
/advisor [model|off]
Enable/disable advisor tool (second model consults at key moments, v2.1.98+)
/fast [on|off]
Toggle fast mode
/usage
Session cost, plan limits, activity stats (aliases: /cost, /stats)
/usage-credits
Configure extra usage when limits hit (formerly /extra-usage)
/heapdump
Write JS heap snapshot to Desktop for memory diagnosis
/effort levels:max and ultracode are session-only. ultracode combines xhigh reasoning with automatic workflow orchestration. Changes apply immediately without waiting for the current response to finish.
/loop 5m check if the deploy finished
/loop babysit all my PRs
/loop 30m /your-skill-name
Pair /loop with /goal for self-correction loops that run until a validator passes.
Scheduling: /loop vs /schedule vs Managed Agents
Anthropic shipped scheduled deployments and vault environment variables for Claude Managed Agents in public beta at Code with Claude Tokyo (June 2026), confirmed again by @ClaudeDevs on June 11. These are platform-level features—you configure them from the Claude API or via onboarding in Claude Code, not as a single new slash command.
Mechanism
Where it runs
Best for
/loop
Local session (laptop must stay open)
CI polling, PR babysitting, in-session maintenance
/schedule / /routines
Anthropic cloud routines from CLI
Simple recurring cloud tasks without full Managed Agent setup
Scheduled deployments
Claude Managed Agents (API / dashboard)
Production cron—daily reports, compliance scans, monitoring with vault credentialed CLIs
/autofix-pr
Cloud session on current branch
Watch one PR until CI and review comments pass
Onboard Managed Agents from the CLI:
bash
/claude-api managed-agents-onboard
Or ask: "Start onboarding for managed agents in Claude API."
That flow covers:
Scheduled deployments — cron expression + timezone; each fire starts a new agent session (no external scheduler to host)
Vault environment variables — register API keys by secret name and allowed domains; keys inject at network egress only; compatible CLIs include Browserbase, KERNEL, Notion, Ramp, and Sentry
/remote-env — set the default cloud environment for agents spawned from Claude Code
Claude Code's slash commands are the control plane for agentic development: they set trust (/permissions), memory (/memory), model and effort (/model, /effort), parallelism (/batch, /fork, /background), and quality gates (/code-review, /security-review) without leaving the terminal.

Command names, version gates, and plan availability reflect Anthropic's documentation as of June 12, 2026, including Managed Agents scheduled deployments and vault environment variables (@ClaudeDevs, June 11). Re-check code.claude.com/docs/en/commands and /release-notes before documenting internal runbooks—Anthropic ships CLI updates frequently.
