Claude Code adds /btw side questions mid-task

ANNOUNCEMENTPRODUCTPRODUCT HUNT

Anthropic’s Claude Code now supports `/btw`, an ephemeral side-question command in interactive mode. Developers can ask context-aware questions while Claude is still working, without interrupting the main turn or expanding conversation history.

// ANALYSIS

This is a small interface change with outsized leverage for agentic coding workflows.

  • –`/btw` lets developers sanity-check details during long runs without derailing primary execution.
  • –Side questions can see full session context, so answers stay grounded in the current task.
  • –Responses are ephemeral and excluded from history, which helps prevent context bloat.
  • –No tool access keeps side prompts lightweight and fast, though early users report uneven availability.
