1. Claude Code Has a Mobile App

Feature Description

Claude App integrates Code functionality. iOS support was added in October 2025, and Android in early 2026.

How to Use:

Download Claude iOS/Android App
Switch to the Code tab on the left
View and control running sessions

Limitations:

Cannot start brand new sessions
Primarily for remote control of sessions running locally
Suitable for checking progress, approving permission requests, appending instructions

Download Links:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/claude-by-anthropic/id6473753684
Android: Search "Claude by Anthropic" on Google Play

Use Cases:

✅ Check AI work progress while commuting
✅ Approve remote permission requests
✅ Append simple instructions
❌ Complex coding work (still done on computer)

2. Cross-device Seamless Session Switching

Remote Control

Feature: Generate a QR code in terminal, scan with phone to control session in real-time.

Usage:

bash

# Method 1: Enable on startup
claude --remote-control

# Method 2: Enable during session
/rc

Key Points:

Session always runs on local machine
Phone is just remote control panel
Released Feb 25, v2.1.58

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control

Teleport

Feature: Pull web-based cloud sessions to local terminal to continue.

Usage:

bash

# Teleport on startup
claude --teleport

# Teleport during session
/teleport

Auto-execution:

Verify repository status
Switch to remote session's branch
Load complete conversation history

Note: One-way only, can only pull from Web to local.

Real Scenario:

bash

# Scenario: Start CC on work computer for refactoring
# 1. Start session on work computer
claude --remote-control

# 2. Check progress on phone while commuting home
# Scan QR, approve permission requests, append instructions

# 3. Continue on personal computer at home
claude --teleport
# Take over from Web session, continue working

3. /loop and /schedule: Automated Loops

Feature Description

Boris calls these two features CC's most powerful capabilities.

/loop: Loop execution within session

bash

# Handle code review every 5 minutes
/loop 5m /babysit

# Clean codebase every hour
/loop 1h /tidy

# Upgrade dependencies every 6 hours
/loop 6h /dep-upgrade

Characteristics:

Runs in current CLI session
Disappears when session exits
Auto-expires after 3 days
Max 50 loops per session

/schedule: Persistent scheduled tasks

Managed in Desktop's Cowork
Still runs after restart
Cloud execution

Selection Principle:

Short-term monitoring use /loop (watch deployment for an hour)
Long-term automation use /schedule (run tests every morning)

Release Date: March 7, v2.1.71

Practical Value

5-minute babysit loop:

Auto-reply to reviewer comments
Auto-rebase conflicts
Auto-run CI and fix errors
This is an AI colleague who never rests

Daily 8am schedule:

bash

/schedule 8:00 "Check all open issues, compile P0 items into a list and send to me"

4. Hooks: Agent Lifecycle Integration

Feature Description

Inject deterministic logic at key Agent action points.

Boris's Examples:

SessionStart: Dynamically load context on every startup
PreToolUse: Log every bash command
PostToolUse: Auto-run lint/tests

Cool Trick: Route permission requests to WhatsApp for remote approval.

25 Lifecycle Events

Covers everything from SessionStart to WorktreeCreate, supporting:

Regex matching of tool names
Global, project, local configuration levels

Analogy:

CI/CD is automation after code commit
Hooks is automation during code generation

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks

5. Cowork Dispatch: Work Without Being at Computer

Feature Description

Feature in Claude desktop app, in the Cowork tab.

How it Works:

bash

# You send a task
"Help me handle Slack and emails"

# Dispatch automatically judges:
# - Coding task → Opens a Code session
# - Research, docs, spreadsheets → Processes in Cowork

Key Features:

Send task from phone
Executes on computer
Pushes notification to phone when done

Release Date: March 17, Research Preview

Supports Computer Use:

Click, scroll, operate desktop apps
Max users ($100/mo) get it first
Pro users to follow

6. Chrome Extension: Frontend Development Powerhouse

Boris's Core View

"The most important tip for using Claude Code: Give Claude a way to verify its output."

Analogy:

Let engineer build website but not use browser → Bad results
Give Claude a browser → It will write code→see effect→fix code→loop

Chrome Extension Advantages

More stable and reliable than other MCP solutions.

Previous Workflow:

CC develops → Starts local server → I check browser → Screenshot to CC → Copy console errors → Paste to CC
(I am CC's "human scaffolding")

Current Workflow:

CC views page itself → Takes screenshots itself → Reads console errors itself → Iterates and fixes itself
(I transform from "scaffolding" to "validator")

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/chrome

Download: Chrome/Edge extension

7. Desktop Built-in Browser Preview

Feature Description

Similar to Chrome extension, but more integrated.

Auto-execution:

Start your dev server
Test in built-in browser
Auto screenshot, check DOM
Click elements, fill forms
Discover and fix issues itself

CLI vs Desktop:

CLI: Requires manual configuration
Desktop: Works out of the box

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop#preview-your-app

8. Fork Session

Problem Scenario

Chat with Claude for half an hour, reach a fork, want to try two different directions.

Before: Copy-paste to new session, lose all context.

Now: Two ways

bash

# Method 1: During session
/branch

# Method 2: CLI
claude --resume <session-id> --fork-session

Effect:

Share previous context
Each goes different direction
Don't interfere with each other

Practical Scenario:

bash

# Claude proposes two architecture solutions
# I want to try both

/branch  # Try solution A
[Execute for a while]

# Open another terminal
claude --resume <session-id> --fork-session  # Try solution B

9. /btw: Ask Questions While Working

Feature Description

Do parallel queries while agent is working.

Release Date: March 17, v2.1.77

How it Works

Claude executing long task (10 minutes)
↓
I suddenly want to ask: "By the way, what's the return type of this function?"
↓
/btw What type does this function return?
↓
Generates a temporary "Ghost Agent" to answer question
↓
Characteristics:
- Read-only mode, doesn't trigger tools, doesn't modify files
- Can see full context of current conversation
- Not saved to main conversation history
- Disappears after closing
- Reuses parent session's Prompt cache, minimal cost

Boris's Use Case:

bash

# Let Claude do refactoring, running for 10 minutes
# Suddenly want to ask a quick question

/btw What type does this function return?
# Get answer immediately, doesn't pollute main context, doesn't interrupt Claude's work

10. Git Worktrees Deep Support

Feature Description

Boris runs dozens of Claude instances simultaneously, relying on git worktrees.

What is Worktree:

Git allows multiple independent working directories in same repo
Each directory can checkout different branches
Don't interfere with each other

Usage:

bash

# Start session in new worktree
claude -w

# Specify name
claude -w feature-auth

# Add tmux for better experience
claude -w feature-auth --tmux
# Auto-creates tmux session, iTerm2 users can use native panels

Release Date: Feb 19, v2.1.49

Why Important:

bash

# If running 5 Claudes doing different tasks in same repo
# They will step on each other's files

# worktree gives each Claude an independent sandbox
# Even if something breaks, doesn't affect others

11. /batch: Fan-out Large-scale Changes

Feature Description

Release Date: Feb 28, v2.1.63

Workflow

1. You tell it what you want to do ("interview" phase)
↓
2. Starts orchestration Agent entering Plan mode
↓
3. Launches Explore Agent to research impact scope
↓
4. Splits work into 5-30 independent execution units
↓
5. Each unit runs in parallel in its own worktree

Use Case: Large-scale code migration

Practical Example

bash

# CommonJS → ESM migration, 500 files

/batch
# I want to migrate this large project from CommonJS to ESM

# Claude automatically:
# 1. Analyzes which files can be changed in parallel
# 2. Opens dozens of agents working separately
# 3. Merges after completion

# This isn't "AI-assisted programming"
# This is "AI legion programming"

12. --bare: SDK Startup Speedup 10x

Feature Description

Skip all auto-discovery, only keep basic tools.

Release Date: March 20, v2.1.81

Default Startup Process

bash

claude -p
# Will search for:
# - CLAUDE.md
# - settings
# - MCP servers
# - hooks
# - skills
# - plugins
# ...

--bare Mode

bash

claude --bare -p "your query"
# Skips:
# - hooks
# - skills
# - plugins
# - MCP
# - auto memory
# - CLAUDE.md
# Only keeps:
# - Bash
# - File reading
# - File editing

Startup Speed Improvement: Up to 10x (depends on how much you have installed)

Note:

OAuth and keychain reading skipped in bare mode
Need to authenticate via ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var or --settings

Use Cases:

Writing automation scripts
Batch calls
Saving a few hundred milliseconds each time adds up

13. --add-dir: Cross-repo Collaboration

Feature Description

Tell Claude about another repo and give it read/write access.

Usage:

bash

# Start Claude in one repo
cd my-frontend

# Add dependency UI library
claude --add-dir ../ui-library

# Add during session
/add-dir ../ui-library

Release Date: v2.1.45 onwards (Feb 17)

Latest Version Enhancement

bash

# Content under --add-dir directory also gets loaded:
# - CLAUDE.md (understand rules and conventions)
# - .claude/skills/ (use that repo's skills)

Practical Scenario:

bash

# Frontend project depends on internal UI library
# You changed UI library's interface
# Claude can automatically update calls in frontend project

14. --agent: Custom Agents

Feature Description

Boris calls this an "often overlooked powerful primitive."

Implementation:

bash

# Define agent file in .claude/agents/ directory
# Write system prompt and tool configuration

claude --agent=<your-agent-name>

Difference from skills:

skills: Command set
agent: Complete "role"
- Has its own personality
- Has its own tool set
- Can configure different MCP servers

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents

Practical Examples

bash

# Create agent specialized in code review
.claude/agents/code-reviewer.md

# Create agent specialized in writing docs
.claude/agents/doc-writer.md

# Create agent specialized in security scanning
.claude/agents/security-scanner.md

15. /voice: Voice Input for Coding

Feature Description

Boris says he mostly codes by talking to Claude, not typing.

Usage:

bash

# Run in CLI
/voice
# Hold spacebar to talk, release to send

# Desktop
# Click voice button

# iOS
# Enable dictation in settings

Release Date: March 5, v2.1.69

Language Support: 20 languages

Details:

Can mix typing and voice
Type half, hold spacebar say the other half
Seamless splicing

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/voice-dictation

Significance

Programming interaction is shifting from "typing" to "conversation".

bash

# Before: Accurately describe every technical detail
# Now: Chat like with a colleague

"Change that login page button color to blue, then add a loading state"

Bonus Discovery: Channels

Feature Description

Push messages to running CC sessions via Telegram, Discord, iMessage.

Key Point:

Not starting new session
Pushing to your already open session

Use Case

bash

# Running CC in terminal doing refactoring
# You go out

# Send message on Telegram:
"Also handle that deprecated API"

# Message directly reaches running session
# Claude continues working

Setup

bash

# Install Telegram plugin
# Configure bot token

claude --channels plugin:telegram@claude-plugins-official

Release Status: Research Preview, requires v2.1.80+

Official Docs: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/channels

Iteration Speed: Average one major feature every 3 days.

Core Trend Analysis

1. Programming No Longer Desktop-bound

Changes:

Code on phone, remote control, Dispatch tasks from anywhere
Boris himself uses phone on couch to have Claude submit PRs

Implication:

Programmers no longer need to sit at computers 24/7
But also means "off-hours" become more blurred

2. Agents Becoming More Autonomous

Essence of /loop and /schedule:

Let AI run continuously without you being present
Babysit every 5 minutes, upgrade dependencies every 6 hours
This is an AI colleague who never sleeps

3. Parallelization is New Productivity Multiplier

Worktrees + /batch:

Can have thousands of Claudes working simultaneously
One person's output can equal an engineering team

4. OpenClaw's Exploratory Innovation Being Absorbed

Concept Mapping:

Mobile
Message bridging
Automated patrolling
Agent autonomous operation

These concepts OpenClaw pioneered, CC is turning into stable product features with stronger engineering capabilities.

Boris's Usage Philosophy

Core Advice (Point 6 Most Important)

"The most important tip for using Claude Code: Give Claude a way to verify its output."

Analogy:

Let engineer build website but not use browser → Bad results
Give Claude a browser → It will iterate and optimize

Actual Workflow

Boris uses Claude Code for over ten hours daily:

Coding
Writing
Data analysis

Not Perfect:

Sometimes still makes mistakes
But CC team really listens to user feedback
Iteration speed faster than anyone imagined

Next Steps

Boris ended with: "I wanted to keep writing but had to stop, will share more later."

Waiting...
