We just added /btw to Claude Code!
Use it to have side chain conversations while Claude is working.

a bit more on the technical details- this cannot do any tool calls and is a single turn of output but has the entire context of your conversation
s/o to for building this as a side project
read more in our docs here:
I am getting "unknown skill" when I tried /btw. This happened in a CC terminal which has been running since yesterday. I tried it in a fresh CC terminal and still getting the "unknown" skill error
can I request /sidebar? One conversation tends to evolve into several topics and I want to explore each thread as its own conversation from there, eventually merging the decision back into the main thread.
I’m not a religious man, but thank you for answering what would have been my prayers.
Claude should just delegate everything to subagents then you can naturally just keep having conversations with it.
The /btw feature is fantastic! I’ve already started using it all the time.
BTW, after running /status in Claude Code, I ran into an issue where pressing esc wouldn’t take me back.
I searched the timeline and found other people posting about the same issue as well.
It’s not a
this feels like another un-agi-pilled feature
if i type into the box, you should dispatch to a very low latency model that decides if i want to interrupt or just find something out; i shouldn't have to go /btw
You have no clue what you hae just done to me with this latest update.
This is the flow state killer I've been waiting for. No more context switching when you're deep in a refactoring session. Quick mental model: /btw = parallel thread, main loop = focused work. Simple but powerful.
If antacids fixed reflux, you wouldn’t still have reflux. That burn isn’t an acid problem. It’s an irritation problem. And suppression isn’t repair.

Nice!! This helps during builds and stuff
would be cool if it updated the next steps of the plan if main hasn't reached there
this is lowkey the most useful feature drop in months
the amount of times i've wanted to ask claude "wait what did you just do" without interrupting the flow is embarrassing
side conversations during execution is how all coding agents should work

I’m on latest claude code version 2.1.72
But I still don’t have access to /voice and /btw
And sometimes the /remote-control session auto disconnects and gets archived on my iOS
Kindly advise pls !!!
This is one of those features that sounds small but completely changes the workflow. Before /btw you had two choices: interrupt Claude mid-task or wait and forget your question.
Now you can think out loud while Claude works. It's like pair programming where your partner doesn't
\/btw is such a good name lol, side chats while Claude Code is grinding is exactly what i miss in most agents.
Does this go into the context window of the larger chat or is it handled by a side agent?
I have been trying something with agent teams where i by default always have an agent team with the team lead as an orchestrator that delegates to team mates. Then the orchestrator is always free to chat with. I then created a ui on top of it. /btw honestly seems a little hacky.
