"Don't act, just a question" works for me.


Try /btw


This is the prompt that Claude Code adds when you use /btw

I found that helpful for a question but the btw query seemed to go to a subagent that couldn't interrupt or direct the main one. So it really was just for informational questions, not "hey what if we did x instead of y?"


That's not a thing in Claude ... so no.


It actually is, don't know for how long but it prompted me to try this a few days ago


Can't be rolled out to all users then yet, because I just get:

> Unknown skill: btw


Yesterday it was showing a hint in the corner to use "/btw" but when I first tried it I got this same error. About ten minutes later (?) I noticed it was still showing the same hint in the corner, so I tried it again and it worked. Seemed to be treated as a one-off question which doesn't alter the course of whatever it was already working on.


It is in Claude Code, specifically for this use case.


It's not really the same use case. It's a smaller model, it doesn't have tools, it can't investigate, etc. The only thing it can do is answer questions about whatever is in the current context.


It's new
