Continue local sessions from any device with Remote Control

 * **Compaction and `/clear`**: while Claude Code [compacts the conversation](/docs/en/context-window#what-survives-compaction), connected devices show the progress and then where the conversation was compacted. When you run `/clear`, the conversation resets on connected devices too.
 * **Switching conversations with `/resume`**: the connected device doesn't receive the switched-to conversation's title or earlier history, but new messages in both directions go to and from whichever conversation is open in your terminal. To work on the original conversation from the device again, run `/resume` in your terminal and switch back to it.
 * **Messages from your other sessions**: with [cross-session messaging](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging), the same connection carries messages between your own sessions on different machines and from your [Claude Code on the web](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web) sessions, through Anthropic servers like the rest of Remote Control traffic. [Message sessions on other machines](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#message-sessions-on-other-machines) covers the delivery rules and [Control inbound messages](/docs/en/cross-session-messaging#control-inbound-messages) covers the inbound controls. Requires Claude Code v2.1.224 or later.
+* **Effort level**: when you set the [effort level](/docs/en/model-config#adjust-effort-level) from a connected device, with `/effort` or the device's effort control, Claude Code applies it to the session on your machine, and claude.ai/code shows the level the session is using. If you pinned a level with `CLAUDE_CODE_EFFORT_LEVEL`, the session keeps that level, and Claude Code refuses a different pick from the effort control. A level you pick from the effort control applies to the current session only and doesn't change your saved default. Picking a level from the effort control requires Claude Code v2.1.234 or later on your machine.
 * **Reconnecting after a connection failure**: run `/remote-control` to reconnect. If compaction rewrote the conversation or you switched conversations with `/resume` in the meantime, Claude Code archives the server session it was using instead of leaving it in the session list. You can still find it by [filtering for archived sessions](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web#archive-sessions). Switching conversations while a device is still connected doesn't archive the session.
