Surprised that my most used flag `--dangerously-skip-permissions` is not on it
Wow /insights is genuinely useful, perhaps CLI should be pushing that as a tip, if one has enough sessions, instead of keep nagging me about the frontend developer skill which I already have installed
In general CLI could be more reliable and responsive though, it's a text based env yet sometimes feel like running windows 95 on 386dx
It seems clear from the insights that some model is marking failure cases when things went wrong and likely reporting home, so that should be extremely valuable to Anthropic
Isn't this going to be stale in a week? Can you just tell Calude Code to generate a cheat sheet of itself?
I use Claude Code daily but kept forgetting commands, so I had Claude research every feature from the docs and GitHub, then generate a printable A4 landscape HTML page covering keyboard shortcuts, slash commands, workflows, skills system, memory/CLAUDE.md, MCP setup, CLI flags, and config files.
It's a single HTML file - Claude wrote it and I iterated on the layout. A daily cron job checks the changelog and updates the sheet automatically, tagging new features with a "NEW" badge.
Auto-detects Mac/Windows for the right shortcuts. Shows current Claude Code version and a dismissable changelog of recent changes at the top.
It will always be lightweight, free, no signup required: https://cc.storyfox.cz
Ctrl+P to print. Works on mobile too.
I recently switched from the CC terminal to the CC VS Code extension, and I like it better.
Nice work. Under "MCP" section, "Local" shouldn't be prepended with "~". It should just be `.claude.json (per project)`
CMD + V to paste an image is wrong.
On Mac it's the same as Windows, CTRL + V.
You use CMD + V to paste text.
There’s actually a lot more environment variables:
edit: removed obnoxious list in favor of the link that @thehamkercat shared below.
My favorite is IS_DEMO=1 to remove a little bit of the unnecessary welcome banner.
Are 'project rules' a thing?
> .claude/rules/.md Project rules
> ~/.claude/rules/.md User rules
or is it just a way to organise files to be imported from other prompts?
Thanks for putting this together! It's really nice to have a quick reference of all the features at a glance — especially since new features are being added all the time. Saves a lot of digging through docs.
Shocking how far ahead Claude Code is from Codex on the CLI front.
Why do we still need cryptic commands for an AI?
The link to the changelog on the page got me wondering what the change history looks like (as best we can see).
I asked chatgpt to chart the number of new bullet points in the CHANGELOG.md file committed by day. I did nothing to verify accuracy, but a cursory glance doesn't disagree:
Undo (typing):
Ctrl + _ (Ctrl + underscore)
I think this is the argument for UIs - it should be self-explanatory since it's singificantly simpler than an IDE
Ah yes, the AGI will have many toggle switches, just like intelligent humans :,-)
It's missing the most important CLI flag! (--dangerously-skip-permissions)
Wait, why do we need chat sheets for this like it's (gasp!) a programming language, tool or IDE?
it's almost like if the thing is not intelligent at all and just another abstraction on top of what we already had.
dangerously skip permission is all u need
can you add a dark mode? its so bright.
Proposition: Every power user feature added lowers Anthropic’s market cap $1B and OpenAI’s $10B.
that is quite helpful, thanks!
If only there was some kind of tool that could answer helpful questions about technology instead of needing a cheat sheet.
Ctrl + S - Stash
Very useful :)
needs a literal /dark mode
This just exposes why UI like Codex, Cursor, T3 Code, Conductor, Intent, etc are necessary.
This is a bit intense.
The fact this needs to exist seems like a UX red flag.

Is something updated daily a good target to be printable?
