Delegate a task to a subagent with its own clean context window. Keeps heavy file reading out of your main session. Use when reading many files, doing codebase audits, or research tasks. Part of claude-cost-helpers (subagent-isolation).

Load the most recent session file and resume work with full context from where the last session ended. Use at the start of a new session after a save-session or split. Part of claude-cost-helpers (idle-tax).

Save session state and recommend starting fresh instead of compacting. A safer alternative to lossy compaction — compaction discards context permanently with no recovery. Part of claude-cost-helpers (compact-gamble).

Save current session state for handoff to a future session. Creates a structured file capturing what worked, what failed, and the exact next step. Use when stepping away, before cache expires, or when context is getting heavy. Part of claude-cost-helpers (idle-tax).

Save current session and split — start fresh to avoid context rot and rising costs. Use when context is heavy (300K+ tokens estimated) or response quality is degrading. Part of claude-cost-helpers (just-one-more-turn).

Run a command and redirect output to a temp file instead of dumping it into context. Returns the file path, line count, and a preview (first/last 10 lines). Use for test runs, build logs, or any command with large output. Part of claude-cost-helpers (watching-cost).
