5 Claude Code commands 💻

Shows a colored grid of what is filling your context window right now, plus suggestions on what to cut. Add all after it for the full breakdown.

WHEN: the second Claude starts forgetting things you already told it, or answers get vague. That is not the model getting dumber, that is your window filling up. Run this before you start over from scratch.

Rolls your code and the conversation back to a checkpoint. Not undo on one file. The whole thing, both at once.

WHEN: it went sideways three steps ago and you do not want to untangle it. Stop arguing with it, rewind and re prompt from before the mess.

Switches into plan mode, so it tells you what it is about to do before it touches anything.

WHEN: any change bigger than one file. This is the single best habit if you are nervous about letting it loose in a project you care about.

/clear starts a brand new conversation with nothing in it. /compact summarizes what you have done so far and keeps going in the same one.

WHEN: starting a different task, use /clear. Same task but it has been running long, use /compact. Using /clear mid task throws away context you still need.

/init creates a CLAUDE.md file for your project. /memory edits it later. Whatever rules you put in there, it reads and follows every single session, forever.

WHEN: the first time it does something you never want it to do again. Add the rule instead of correcting it twice.
