claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Remote Control: /clear command does not work from remote device

Summary

When using Claude Code Remote Control (via claude.ai/code), sending /clear from the remote device has no effect. The command appears to be treated as plain text rather than a CLI command, so the session context is not cleared.

Expected behavior

/clear sent from a remote-control device should clear the session context, the same as running it locally in the terminal.

Actual behavior

Nothing happens. The message is either ignored or treated as a user text message rather than a CLI command.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable Remote Control (/remote-control or remoteControlAtStartup: true in settings)
2. Connect from a remote device via claude.ai/code
3. Send /clear from the remote device
4. Observe: session context is not cleared

Workarounds

• Run /clear locally in the terminal
• Start a new session from the remote device

Use case

When working from a mobile or secondary device via Remote Control, there is currently no way to reset the conversation context without switching to the local machine. Supporting /clear remotely would make Remote Control sessions more self-sufficient.
