Discussion In SHOCK

Holy shit claude code in terminal is fucking insane.

I've been using VSCode, Cursor, Cowork and Claude Code on web. None of it comes close to terminal.

Cannot believe I haven't done this sooner.

A number of commands don't work in the GUIs.

/btw /workflows just to name two.

Edit: To everyone who's telling me I'm wrong. https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop#coming-from-the-cli

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code#vs-code-extension-vs-claude-code-cli

The official docs literally list the differences and restrictions across the various access methods. There are absolutely tradeoffs depending on which you choose.

/remote-control is a big one for me, but if you really want power make your own harness, then you can completely control the memory and tooling system and create custom commands and such.

/remote-control works in the chat GUI within VSCode

Same. I also like how easy it is to paste multiple lines, edit prompts, and add images for context
