Everyday

The moves you'll use daily

01

/rewind

Roll the chat and your code back to any earlier point, even after you wiped it with /clear. Good for: a bad edit, a wrong turn, a wiped chat.

02

Claude app → Code tab

Needs the app. Start a task from your phone and it keeps running on Anthropic's servers after your screen sleeps. Good for: away from your desk, a long task, on the go.

03

claude --channels plugin:imessage

Early access. Text Claude from iMessage or Telegram and it makes real changes in your project, no laptop in hand. Good for: a quick fix, no laptop, on your phone.

04

/goal <condition>

Set a finish line like all tests pass, or the page loads clean, and it works until that is true. Good for: a big cleanup, clearing a backlog, no babysitting.

05

/simplify <folder>

Strip duplication and over-engineering from any folder and apply the fixes. Cleanup only, nothing new added. Good for: a messy folder, over-engineering, dead code.

The models

Pick the right brain

01

/model

The picker: Fable 5 for the hardest problems, Opus for deep work, Sonnet 5 as your default, Haiku for cheap and fast. Swap mid-chat, nothing lost. Good for: picking a brain, swapping mid-chat.

02

/model fable

Access varies by plan. When it keeps going in circles, switch to Fable 5 for the hard part, then switch back. Good for: stuck in circles, the hardest bugs, big decisions.

03

Paste a screenshot

Fable 5 reads dense dashboards, error screens and diagrams, so you can debug from a picture. Good for: error screens, dashboards, diagrams.

04

/model opusplan

Opus does the thinking, then hands the typing to cheaper Sonnet. Quality plans without the full bill. Good for: a big feature, hard planning, cost control.

05

1M context

Sonnet 5, built in. Sonnet 5 holds your entire project in its head at once. Just ask it to read everything. Good for: a whole codebase, the system view, big refactors.

06

/fast

Costs extra credits. About 2.5x quicker replies when you are in a hurry. It burns credits faster, so flip it off after. Good for: live debugging, a tight deadline.

The meters

Keep your plan alive

01

/effort high

Deep thinking for hard problems, quick answers for small ones. You choose per task. Good for: a security audit, deep design, a quick rename.

02

/usage

Pro plan and up. See which features are burning through your monthly limit. Good for: plan running low, what costs most, trimming usage.

03

/context

When Claude slows down, see what is filling its head: your files, the chat, the tools. Good for: it feels slow, a stuffed session, what to trim.

Power moves

The ones that feel like cheating

01

/cd ../other-project

Jump to another project mid-chat and it still remembers everything. No restart. Good for: two projects, shared code, side quests.

02

claude -p --fallback-model sonnet,haiku

Scripts only. For scripted runs: if a model is overloaded it switches to a backup and keeps going. Good for: overnight jobs, CI runs, automations.

03

model: haiku

In .claude/agents/x.md. A helper agent is a mini Claude for one job. One line in its file runs it on cheap Haiku, pennies per task. Good for: searches, checks, file lookups.

The one line to keep
Save it. Pin it.
Steal it.
