Claude Code command reference

Claude Code ships with 60+ commands to manage sessions, integrations, and context. Core tools break down into slash commands, CLI flags, and skills to automate tasks.
Key slash commands include /clear to reset context, /effort to adjust model reasoning levels, and /mcp to manage external data sources. Power users can tap keyboard shortcuts like Option+T to activate Extended Thinking and Option+P for quick model switching.
For deeper customization, use CLI flags like --worktree to isolate Git branches. Users can also craft custom skills in .claude/skills. When issues arise, run /doctor to diagnose the setup or /context to analyze token usage.
