Rewinding Conversations /rewind

During long conversations, you might accumulate context that becomes irrelevant or distracting. For instance, if Claude encounters an error and spends time debugging it, that back-and-forth discussion might not be useful for the next task.

You can rewind the conversation by pressing Escape twice or typing /rewind. This shows you all the messages you've sent, allowing you to jump back to an earlier point and continue from there. This technique helps you:

• Maintain valuable context (like Claude's understanding of your codebase)
• Remove distracting or irrelevant conversation history
• Keep Claude focused on the current task

/compact  /compact

The /compact command summarizes your entire conversation history while preserving the key information Claude has learned. This is ideal when:

• Claude has gained valuable knowledge about your project
• You want to continue with related tasks
• The conversation has become long but contains important context

/clear /resume /clear

The /clear command starts a new conversation with fresh context. This is most useful when:

• You're switching to a completely different, unrelated task
• The current conversation context might confuse Claude for the new task
• You want to start over without any previous context
