Boris Cherny, the creator of Claude Code, just shared 15 power features that most people never use. Worth bookmarking if you work with Claude Code regularly.
Here’s the rundown:
- Code from your phone. Claude Code has an iOS app. You can write code without opening a laptop.
- /teleport. Pull a cloud session down to your local terminal instantly.
- /remote control. Control a local session from your phone or any browser.
- /loop. Schedule Claude to run for up to a week. Auto code review, auto rebase, shepherd PRs to production while you sleep.
- /batch. Fan out to hundreds of parallel agents. Dozens. Hundreds. Thousands.
- Type “think” in your prompt. Sets effort to high so Claude reasons before acting instead of jumping to code.
- CLAUDE.md vs hooks. Know the difference. CLAUDE.md is advisory (80% followed). Hooks are deterministic, 100% every time.
- /btw. Ask a side question without interrupting the agent mid task. It answers and keeps going.
- Esc+Esc. Time travel through your session. Opens a checkpoint menu to restore code, conversation, or both.
- Git worktrees. Run dozens of Claudes at once. Use claude -w to start one in a worktree.
- Give Claude a browser. Claude writes code and iterates until it looks good. Without a browser it’s guessing.
- /branch. Fork a session mid task. Answer quick questions while the agent works. Resume with claude -r [id].
- Dispatch. Delegate tasks when you’re away. Catch up on Slack, manage files, do things on your laptop remotely.
- Hooks: route permission prompts to WhatsApp. Approve or deny tool calls from your phone. Full control, zero interruption.
- Give Claude a way to verify its own output. The most important tip. Include tests or expected outputs. Claude iterates until correct.
My take: Features like /loop, /batch, and git worktrees show where agentic coding is heading. It’s not about a single AI pair programmer anymore. It’s about orchestrating fleets of agents that work in parallel, autonomously, around the clock. That’s a fundamentally different operating model for software engineering.

Dr. Goetz G. Wehberg Thanks for sharing, Dr. Axel Schell. Claude is impressive, but asking for effective governance at the same time. Please find the example of the skill framework below where Gimel.io made a point: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/gimel-technologi... Apr 3 1 like
Tim Butterfield #11 is a notable one I have doing lately. Claude can easily write python scripts to run tests. Combine that with Selenium and headless Chrome and Claude can generate tests for sites running complex JavaScript. This is so much more effective than simply grabbing a static site page. Apr 4 1 like
