Planning, reviewing changes, session management with rename and resume, goals, diagnostics, and a complete cheat sheet of the commands used so far.

We have covered the core commands. Let us finish with the ones for planning, reviewing your changes and managing sessions, and then put everything into one cheat sheet.

Planning: `/plan`

/plan add task filtering by state and role

/plan switches into plan mode, optionally with a task description. Claude explores the code and proposes a plan, but does not edit your files until you approve. It is the same as pressing Shift+Tab until you see plan mode on. We will use it a lot when building features.

Reviewing changes

`/diff`

/diff

Shows the changes in your working tree, including everything Claude has edited so far. Untracked (new) files are listed. For tracked files, you see the actual line-by-line changes. Use it before every commit.

`/review` and `/security-review`

Command	What it does
`/review` (alias of `/code-review`)	Reviews the current diff, a branch, or a pull request number for correctness bugs
`/security-review`	Reviews the changes on your branch against the default branch for vulnerabilities like injection, auth issues and data exposure

These are a great second pair of eyes before you push. They do not replace your own review.

Undo: `/rewind`

/rewind

The same menu as pressing Esc twice. Restore code, the conversation, or both to an earlier prompt. See Permissions and Checkpoints.

Session management

Each conversation with Claude Code is a session, saved locally under ~/.claude/projects/. You can name sessions, leave them and come back later.

`/rename`

By default, a session is labelled with the start of your first message, which is not very helpful when the first message was "hi". Give it a proper name:

/rename frontend-design

The name appears in the prompt bar and in the session list. Without a name, /rename generates one from the conversation.

`/resume`

Come back tomorrow and continue where you left off:

/resume frontend-design

Run /resume without arguments to open a picker of recent sessions. You can also do this when launching Claude Code:

claude --continue            # continue the most recent session in this folder
claude --resume              # pick a session from a list
claude --resume frontend-design

Tip

Name a session as soon as you start a feature. A list of sessions called "backend-crud", "jwt-security" and "deploy-cloud-run" is much easier to work with than ten sessions called "hi".

`/goal`

/goal all tests in backend/tests pass

Sets a completion condition. Claude keeps working across turns until the condition is met, instead of stopping after one reply. Useful for tasks like "make the test suite pass". Use /goal clear to remove it.

Diagnostics: `/doctor`

/doctor

If Claude Code behaves strangely, run this first. It checks your installation health, version, PATH problems and invalid settings files, and can fix many issues for you.

Cheat sheet

Group	Command	Purpose
Setup	`/init`	Generate a `CLAUDE.md`
	`/memory`	Edit `CLAUDE.md` files and manage auto memory
	`/permissions`	View and manage allow, ask and deny rules
	`/config`	Open settings
	`/doctor`	Diagnose and fix installation issues
Context	`/context`	See what is using the context window
	`/compact [focus]`	Summarise the conversation, same task
	`/clear`	Fresh conversation, new task
	`/btw <question>`	Side question that is not added to the conversation
Model	`/model [name]`	Switch model (`opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`, `opusplan`)
	`/effort [level]`	Set reasoning effort
	`/usage`	Plan usage and costs
Workflow	`/plan [task]`	Enter plan mode
	`/diff`	Review working tree changes
	`/review`	Code review of the diff, branch or PR
	`/security-review`	Security review of your branch
	`/goal <condition>`	Keep working until a condition is met
Sessions	`/rename <name>`	Name the session
	`/resume [name]`	Continue a previous session
	`/rewind`	Restore code or conversation to an earlier point
	`/exit`	Leave Claude Code

And three keyboard shortcuts you should know by heart:

Shortcut	Action
`Shift+Tab`	Cycle permission modes
`Esc`	Stop Claude. Press twice on an empty prompt to rewind
`Ctrl+O`	Open the detailed transcript view

Try It Yourself

Before moving to the next section, practise what you learned:

Run /context at the start of a session and again after a few prompts. Note which category grew.
Use /btw for a side question and confirm with /context that the conversation did not grow.
Name a session with /rename, exit, and come back to it with claude --resume <name>.
Run /compact with your own focus text and read the summary it creates.
