Been spending real time inside Claude Code and these are the commands that have become part of my actual workflow. Some work in VSCode, some are terminal only.
/btw . Ask Claude something while it is already mid-task. It answers without stopping what it is doing.
/model . Switch the model on the fly to save tokens.
/effort . Set the effort level. I use adaptive.
/context . Shows your current context usage as a colored grid. Genuinely helpful if you need a visual on where you are.
/insights . This one is my favorite. Claude analyzes your last 30 days of sessions and tells you what is working, what is slowing you down, and what features you should actually be using based on your patterns.
/team-onboarding . Generates a full onboarding guide based on your sessions and MCP setup. A teammate can paste it as their first message and get up to speed fast.
/schedule . Creates a remote task that runs on its own on a cron schedule. Daily summaries, recurring automations, all without you being there. This one is also a favorite.
/remote-control . Pick up your session from your phone in the Claude app.
If you are inside Claude Code and have not touched these yet, start with /insights. It will probably tell you something useful about how you are working.
