Plan Mode Details

When /plan is active:

1. Claude analyzes the request
2. Writes a step-by-step plan to a plan file
3. Calls ExitPlanMode to present plan to user
4. User reviews and approves/modifies/rejects
5. On approval, Claude executes the plan

Plan Mode Permissions

• Read-only tools work normally
• Write/Edit/Bash require plan approval first
• Use AskUserQuestion for clarifications during planning
• Use ExitPlanMode when plan is ready (not AskUserQuestion)

Context Management Commands

/compact

Compresses the conversation to free up context window space.

/compact                    # Default compression
/compact focus on the API   # Compress with focus on API-related content

When to use:

• Context window is getting large
• Conversation has covered many topics
• You want to focus on a specific area

How it works:

• Summarizes previous conversation
• Preserves key decisions and context
• Reduces token count significantly
• Maintains file state awareness

/clear

Starts a completely fresh conversation.

/clear

When to use:

• Switching to unrelated task
• Want a clean slate
• Context is too polluted

Difference from /compact:

• /compact preserves summarized context
• /clear removes all context entirely
