Quick Answers
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Start Claude in a folder? | cd ~/mb-free && claude -- Claude sees files in that folder |
| When use slash commands? | For structured tasks: /start, /think, /setup |
| Drag files in? | Drag from Finder into Terminal, path appears |
| Voice input? | Wispr Flow (affiliate link) |
| What are subagents? | Claude can spawn parallel agents to research or review simultaneously. You'll see it happen automatically in /think (multi-source research). Each agent gets its own context window so your main conversation stays clean. |
| How do I manage context/tokens? | When context gets heavy, break work into parallel subagents. Heavy research (transcripts, mining) runs in subagents so raw content stays out of your main conversation. Synthesized summaries come back instead. Re-invoke /think after compaction to reload context. |
