Workflow tips

One task, one conversation. /clear between unrelated jobs keeps Claude sharp.
Big job? Start with /plan and read the plan before anything changes.
Wrong direction? Press Esc and say what you want instead.
Show, don't describe. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V.
Doing it twice? Ask Claude to save it as a skill.
