Starting and resuming work

The command set every Claude Code session should start from.

Key takeaways

  • For a new project, check instructions and permissions; for resumed work, check the saved conversation and working directory.
  • Choose deliberately between compacting, starting fresh, and branching.

Start a project

  1. Review project instructions with /init.
  2. Check tool permissions with /permissions.
  3. Choose a model and its persistence scope with /model.
  4. Use /plan to define the scope and verification criteria for a large change.

Continue earlier work

Open the conversation with /resume and inspect the working directory, current changes, and remaining checks. If the conversation is long, preserve important decisions with /compact.

Use the branch, fork, and subtask comparison to choose between continuing another approach yourself, starting a separate session, and receiving a bounded subtask result.

Finish the change

Inspect the scope with /diff, review it with /code-review, and observe application behavior with /verify.

Model availability and API operating details are in the model guide.
