Is anybody using the new Claude Code features?

I've moved from Claude Cowork back to Claude Code for nearly all my work. You open it on a folder on your desktop, type your prompts and it does the work. Cowork now runs in the cloud on copies of your files, so you can't move or delete the originals which is super frustrating.

These are the things I've been using:

Side chats (/btw) for quick questions without cluttering the main chat.
/goal for long jobs, like checking every contract clause against your standard terms or categorizing 100 invoices.
Sidebar sections, so each project keeps its chats together.
The session rail, which shows how much context you've used. I set auto-compact at 400,000 tokens because results get worse as the window fills.

I also built a take-off checker with Mods that flags anything Claude was unsure about, but I'm still working out where Mods are most useful. The idea seems cool, just unsure how useful it actually is
