You know that annoying thing where Claude is working on something and you have a random question but don’t want to interrupt? There’s a /btw command now that lets you ask side questions while your main task keeps running. The answer pops up in an overlay, you hit escape to dismiss, and your conversation history stays clean Example: /btw what does retry logic do? The cool part: it doesn’t pollute your context or burn tokens on a full agent interaction. It’s just a quick lookup using Claude’s knowledge + your current session context. No tool access, which keeps it lightweight. Apparently Erik Schluntz from Anthropic built this as a side project. It’s a small feature, but honestly, it’s pretty clutch for long coding sessions. Need version 2.1.72+ (claude update if you’re behind). Anyone else been using this? submitted by /u/oscarsergioo61
