Claude Code adds /btw side questions mid-task

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.
