Section/Topic

Remote Control command support from claude.ai/code and Claude mobile app clients

Current Documentation

The Remote Control page currently says:

* Work from both surfaces at once: the conversation stays in sync across all connected devices, so you can send messages from your terminal, browser, and phone interchangeably

and:

Unlike Claude Code on the web, which runs on cloud infrastructure, Remote Control sessions run directly on your machine and interact with your local filesystem. The web and mobile interfaces are just a window into that local session.

The cloud-session docs also include a command-availability table:

| /compact | Yes | Summarizes the conversation to free up context. Accepts optional focus instructions like /compact keep the test output | | /context | Yes | Shows what's currently in the context window | | /clear | No | Start a new session from the sidebar instead |

The commands reference lists /context, /exit, and /reload-plugins generically, but does not say that these commands work from Remote Control mobile/web clients. I could not find any current documentation for /autocompact as a Remote Control client command.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.110 says /autocompact, /context, /exit, and /reload-plugins now work from Remote Control (mobile/web) clients, but the Remote Control docs do not document that command support.

As written, the docs explain that Remote Control sessions can be used from the browser and mobile app, but they do not tell users which slash commands are available there or call out these newly supported commands. Users looking for compatibility guidance are likely to check the existing cloud-session command table, which is specific to cloud sessions rather than Remote Control.

Suggested Improvement

Add a short "Supported commands from Remote Control clients" subsection to the Remote Control page.

Include a compact table for the v2.1.110 change, for example:

| Command | Works from Remote Control mobile/web clients | Notes |
|------|------|------|
| /autocompact | Yes | Explain what it does when invoked remotely |
| /context | Yes | Shows current context usage from the remote client |
| /exit | Yes | Clarify whether it exits or archives the Remote Control session |
| /reload-plugins | Yes | Clarify that it reloads plugins on the local host session |

It would also help to add a brief note or cross-link from the commands reference so users know that command availability can differ between local CLI, cloud sessions, and Remote Control clients.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand

Additional Context

Affected Pages:

| Page | Context |
|------|---------|
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/remote-control | Primary page for using Claude Code from browser/mobile via Remote Control |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web | Already has a command-availability table for cloud sessions, which users may incorrectly treat as the remote-session reference |
| https://code.claude.com/docs/en/commands | Reference page for /context, /exit, and /reload-plugins; currently lacks Remote Control client availability notes |

Total scope: 3 pages affected
