claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Feature Request] Add `/restart` command to reload Claude Code session without exiting [1 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a "/restart" or similar command could simplify the process of restarting the application without requiring a full exit and restart.

Guidance

• Consider adding a new command to handle the restart functionality, ensuring it is restricted to authorized users.
• Evaluate the current "/exit" and "claude --continue" workflow to determine the best approach for integrating the new restart command.
• Review the application's authentication and authorization mechanisms to ensure the new command can be properly restricted to users.
• Investigate potential impacts on the application's state and any necessary steps to preserve or reset it during a restart.

Notes

The implementation details of the restart command are not specified, and the exact requirements for user authorization and application state management are unclear.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a custom script or alias that automates the "/exit" and "claude --continue" sequence for authorized users, as a potential stopgap until a native "/restart" command can be developed.
