What You Asked Claude to Do

Asked Claude if there's a way to continue an existing conversation in a new Claude Code session.

What Claude Actually Did

Claude incorrectly said there's no way to carry conversation context into a new session, without mentioning the claude --continue (or -c) flag which does exactly that.

Expected Behavior

Claude should be aware of its own CLI flags and inform the user that claude --continue resumes the most recent conversation with full context in a new session.
