Small features can change workflows massively -- and the new /btw is definitely one of such.
❌ Before:
This is what many of us are used to right now -- every question you ask an AI coding assistant becomes part of the same growing conversation thread:
No /btw feature used to ask questions here 👇:
Which unfortunately leads to questions, clarifications, and quick reminders slowly cluttering the context -- making sessions more expensive than ever.
✅ Now:
Now Claude Code’s new /btw command is here to change all that -- by creating a lightweight lane for disposable, context-aware questions.

When we press Enter, the btw message disappears and we're back to our normal conversation:
It’s a simple but powerful feature that makes those long coding sessions cleaner and much more efficient.
What /btw actually is
/btw is a lightweight side-question feature inside Claude Code. It can see the current session context, meaning it understands the code, decisions, and task state already in play.
But unlike the main thread, it’s intentionally constrained.
Context-aware
/btw understands the active session.
That means you can ask questions tied to the current work, such as:
Making changes to our codebase:
“What does this regex do?”
“What is this helper function responsible for again?”
“Why did we choose this configuration pattern earlier?”
Using /btw to ask context-aware questions:
You’re not asking a model with zero memory. You’re asking from inside the active coding session, where the relevant context already exists.
That’s what makes /btw more useful than opening a separate AI chat.
Disposable history
The core idea behind /btw is that the interaction is temporary.
Your question and its answer do not become part of the main conversation history.
