claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Slash commands (/exit, /clear, /status) should not appear in model context window on session resume

Problem

When resuming a session with --resume, all slash commands from previous sessions appear in the context window. These commands carry no semantic value for the model but consume tokens and clutter the conversation history.

Screenshot from a real session after resume:

/clear → (no content)
/exit → See ya!

This becomes especially noticeable in multi-session workflows — for example, when exploring different directions on a project by forking sessions (opening multiple sessions from the same base). Switching between sessions means accumulating many /exit, /clear, and similar commands in the resumed context, none of which are useful to the model.

Proposed solution

Two complementary changes:

1. At write time — don't record pure slash commands (/exit, /clear, /status, /help, etc.) to JSONL session history at all
2. At load time — filter them out during --resume for backward compatibility with already-saved sessions

Together these keep the context clean without requiring any flags from the user.

Alternative

A --resume --clean flag that filters slash commands on demand, preserving current behavior as the default.
