Quickstart "Essential commands" table mixes shell and session commands without distinction
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 5, 2026 by KevinFCormier Closed Jul 11, 2026
The "Essential commands" table on the Quickstart page lists shell commands and interactive session commands in a single flat list, which is confusing for new users.
Current state
The table includes:
- Shell commands (
claude,claude "task",claude -p "query",claude -c,claude -r) - Session commands (
/clear,/help) exit(which should probably be/exitto match the/commandconvention used inside sessions)
All are presented as if they belong to the same context.
Suggested improvements
- Split the table into two sections — e.g., "Shell commands" (run from your terminal) and "Session commands" (run inside Claude Code).
- Change
exitto/exitfor consistency with other session commands like/clearand/help.
This would help new users understand where each command is meant to be used.
