Users can plan ahead, ask questions, or think through future steps in a parallel thread while the agent continues working. ## Content Claude Code has a new `/btw` command that lets you have side conversations with Claude while it's actively working on a task. The idea is simple: instead of interrupting the main task flow, you can use `/btw` to plan ahead, ask questions, or think through future steps in a separate thread. The agent keeps working while you talk. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Claude Code's creator keeps sharing tips, and they all made my experience better](https://daily.dev/posts/claude-code-s-creator-keeps-sharing-tips-and-they-all-made-my-experience-better-cpjjmu4jh) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/claude-code-adds-btw-command-for-side-conversations-while-the-agent-is-working-1p5qf8k4y) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Claude Code adds /btw command for side conversations while the agent is working","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/claude-code-adds-btw-command-for-side-conversations-while-the-agent-is-working-1p5qf8k4y","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/claude-code-adds-btw-command-for-side-conversations-while-the-agent-is-working-1p5qf8k4y"},"datePublished":"2026-03-10T23:21:01.393Z","dateModified":"2026-03-10T23:22:20.150Z","description":"Claude Code now features a `/btw` command enabling side conversations with the AI agent without interrupting its active task.
