[FEATURE] shell pass-through

Problem Statement

I often just want to run some quick shell commands and this usually requires me to open another terminal window or close Claude Code. My usual setup is to actually always have Claude Code open and split the terminal to have a second shell open to the right to it. It's just kinda awkward to manage this when you have multiple projects open.

Proposed Solution

I was thinking, it would be cool if there was a way to just have commands pass-through Claude Code and go straight to the shell, and perhaps allow you to ask questions about it afterwards?

Something like //git add . && git commit -m 'feat: blah' && git commit push
Anything with a // prefix will simply pass straight through.

Ideally it shows the full output of the command if possible, there could be a shortcut to background the command if needed. Say you want to run //npm run dev then background it.
