Claude Code v2.0.72 ·

BTW Side Questions [In Development]

Entry

ChangesSection of the release
What

Quick side questions that fork a conversation without using the main context.

Status

Stubbed - regex exists but parser always returns { isBtw: !1 }

Details
  • Intended syntax: Start message with "btw" to ask a quick question
  • Would create a forked conversation for the side question
  • Side questions cannot use tools
  • UI component exists with "btw" label and "Answering..." spinner
  • Full infrastructure exists but vK1() returns false

Orphaned Tip: ⚠️ Users may see: "Start with 'btw' to ask a quick side question without interrupting Claude's current work" - but the feature doesn't work yet.

Evidence

vK1() at line 451168 (returns { isBtw: !1, question: "" }), Ze5 regex at line 451196 (/^btw\b/gi), tip definition at line 472886 (id: "btw-side-question", isRelevant: !0 - always shows)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
