**[Claude Code](https://www.claude.com/product/claude-code) commands** are the `/`-prefixed slash
  commands that control Claude Code from inside a session — switch models, manage permissions, clean
  up context, or run a whole workflow with a single line.

Together with the keyboard shortcuts, they are the fastest way to get fluent with the tool. This
article collects every useful command and shortcut into quick-reference tables you can use
immediately.

Most of the friction new users hit doesn't come from commands being hard — it comes from not knowing a command already exists. A command is only recognized at the start of your message; any text after the command name is passed to it as arguments. You don't need to memorize this cheatsheet — you only need to know each command exists so you can reach for it at the right moment.

If you've never used the tool before, read [What is Claude Code](https://camnangai.com/en/tools/what-is-claude-code) first, then come back to this reference.

## Essential commands for everyday sessions

These **Claude Code commands** carry you through a normal working session: starting new work, returning to old work, undoing mistakes, and getting results out.

| Command   | Purpose                                                                                             |
| --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/help`   | List all available commands                                                                         |
| `/clear`  | Start a new conversation with empty context; the old one stays available. Aliases: `/reset`, `/new` |
| `/resume` | Reopen a previous session by name, or open the session picker. Alias: `/continue`                   |
| `/rewind` | Roll code and conversation back to an earlier checkpoint. Aliases: `/undo`, `/checkpoint`           |
| `/model`  | View or switch the active model, with arrow keys to adjust effort level                             |
| `/fast`   | Toggle fast mode on or off — same model, optimized for speed. Syntax: `/fast on` or `/fast off`     |
| `/plan`   | Enter plan mode before a large change, optionally with a task description                           |
| `/btw`    | Ask a quick side question without bloating the main conversation                                    |
| `/diff`   | Open an interactive diff viewer: uncommitted changes and per-turn diffs                             |
| `/copy`   | Copy the last response, or pick individual code blocks                                              |
| `/export` | Export the conversation to a file or the clipboard                                                  |
| `/rename` | Name the current session so it's easy to find in `/resume`                                          |
| `/exit`   | Quit the CLI. Alias: `/quit`                                                                        |

The standout here is `/rewind`: every change is checkpointed automatically, so you can try a bold direction and return to your starting point without losing anything. Press `Esc` twice and the rewind menu appears instantly.
