Claude Code Power Features: Mobile, Loops, Hooks, Worktrees

Treat Claude Code as a full dev OS with multi-device sessions (slash teleport), automation (slash loop/schedule), hooks for lifecycle control, git worktrees for parallel work, and verification workflows—instead of a basic terminal chatbot.

Multi-Device Sessions Enable Seamless Context Switching

Start coding on iOS or Android mobile apps, then use /teleport or --teleport to shift sessions to web, desktop, or terminal without losing context. Control local sessions remotely via /remote control from phone or web. This lets you begin on convenient devices and finish on powerful ones, turning Claude Code into a portable dev environment rather than a laptop-bound tool.

Fork sessions with /branch or --fork-session to experiment on alternate paths while preserving the original context. Use /btw for quick side queries that don't pollute the main thread, keeping primary workflows focused and effective.

Automate Repetitive Tasks with Loops and Scheduling

Set up recurring automation using /loop and /schedule for tasks like PR cleanup, rebasing, collecting Slack feedback, sweeping review comments, or pruning stale PRs. These turn one-shot prompts into persistent co-workers that run at intervals (e.g., every 30 minutes), eliminating manual checks and scaling repeatable workflows into reliable skills.

For large changesets, /batch interviews you first then fans work across multiple agents in git worktrees, ideal for codebase-wide migrations without overwhelming a single session.

Add Programmability and Verification for Reliable Outputs

Hooks inject deterministic logic into the agent lifecycle: auto-load contexts on start, log bash commands pre-tool run, route permissions for approval, or prompt continuation when Claude stalls. This makes Claude Code programmable around the edges, boosting control and reducing hallucinations.

Verification ensures accuracy—use dispatch and co-work to let Claude inspect its own output. For frontend/web, leverage the Chrome extension or desktop app's built-in browser to auto-launch servers and visually test changes, iterating until results match intent instead of just compiling.

Advanced Flags Scale Workflows Across Repos and Agents

--bare skips .claude file loading for faster non-interactive/SDK runs, cutting startup overhead. --add-dir grants access to multiple folders, handling multi-repo projects without constant context switches.

--agent loads custom system prompts and tools from .claude/agents folder, creating specialists for analysis, migrations, testing, or docs. Combine with git worktrees for isolated parallel Claudes in one repo, preventing interference on separate problems.

/voice supports spoken coding, underrated for rapid iteration. Together, these treat Claude Code as an operating environment: mobile + hooks + loops + worktrees + agents yield structured, high-output dev flows that maximize paid usage beyond simple prompts.

Video description
In this video, I'll be going over Boris Cherny’s favorite hidden and underutilized Claude Code features, including mobile usage, session teleportation, automation with slash loop and slash schedule, hooks, verification workflows, git worktrees, custom agents, and more. Since Boris helped build Claude Code, this is basically a practical look at how someone deeply involved with the product actually uses it day to day. -- Key Takeaways: 📱 Claude Code is not limited to the terminal, and Boris says he uses it heavily from mobile on iOS and Android. 🔄 You can move sessions across mobile, web, desktop, and terminal with features like slash teleport and slash remote control. ⏱️ Slash loop and slash schedule can automate recurring tasks like PR cleanup, rebasing, and collecting feedback. 🪝 Hooks let you add deterministic logic around the agent lifecycle, making Claude Code far more programmable. ✅ Verification is one of the most important parts of using Claude Code well, especially for frontend and web workflows. 🌲 Git worktrees, slash batch, and session forking make parallel work much easier without losing context. ⚙️ Flags like dash dash bare, dash dash add dir, and dash dash agent can make Claude Code much more powerful for advanced workflows. 🎙️ Overall, the big takeaway is that power users are treating Claude Code like a full operating environment, not just a terminal chatbot.
