Claude /powerup

 

/powerup is a built-in interactive tutorial in Claude Code.  It is fairly new, it was introduced in version 2.1.90 April 2026.

What does it do?  Let’s run it and see!

 

Claude /goal

 

In Claude code there is a special command called /goal. What does it do?  It enables autonomous, multi-turn work.

What does that mean?  Let’s explore….

 

Claude Agents

 

In Claude code you can agents.  Now what is an agent?   You can think of it as a smart assistant.  You can create an agent, give it a goal, then have it go at it working independently then return the results. 

In this article I am going to keep it very basic and simple and focus on just creating your first agent.

Claude Code /statusline

 

The Claude Code status line is kinda boring.  Not much there.  Turns out there is a built in way to create a more interesting status line.

 

Claude Fast Mode

 

What if you want Claude to speed things up and get you an answer back faster?  Well Claude has a mode for that, Fast mode!  But there is going to be a costs!
