Problem Statement

When working on a long coding session with Claude Code, I often want to review all the shell commands that were executed — for example, to understand what was changed (and that deletions as an examples - were done right), reproduce a sequence of steps, or write documentation. even when scrolling through the conversation, the commands are truncated in the UI and not fully visible, making it impossible to read them without clicking into each one individually.

Proposed Solution

A /shell-history slash command that prints a numbered list of all shell commands executed in the current session, in full (not truncated), in chronological order. Each entry could optionally include a short description of what the command did (since Claude already writes a description for bash calls).

Use Case Example

I was working with Claude Code on a long session cleaning up a research repository before making it public. Claude deleted several folders and files across multiple steps — old website directories, zip files, build artifacts, etc. At the end of the session, I wanted to verify exactly what was deleted and in what order, to make sure nothing important was removed by mistake.

With the current UI, I had to scroll through a long conversation, and even then the commands were truncated so I couldn't see the full rm -rf commands. A /shell-history command would have let me instantly see the full list:

1. rm -rf docs/
2. rm -f old_docs.zip
3. rm -rf website/ presentation/...

This would give me confidence that only the intended files were removed.
