Answer a quick side question using only what is already present in the current conversation context. Do not read files, run commands, search, or use any tools. Give a single, concise response and return focus to the main work. **This is a side question, not a task.**
  • Answer only from information already in the conversation (files read, decisions made, code seen, context established)
  • Do NOT use any tools — no Read, no Bash, no Grep, no Search
  • If the answer requires reading something new, say so briefly and suggest the user ask as a normal prompt instead
  • Keep the response short and direct — one to a few sentences unless the question genuinely needs more
  • Do not summarize the main work, ask follow-up questions, or offer to do anything else
  • After answering, stop — do not prompt for next steps

<quick_start> Parse the argument after /btw as the question. Answer it directly from context.

If no argument is provided, ask: "What did you want to know?"

If the question cannot be answered from current context (requires reading a file, running a command, or information not yet in the session), respond with: "I'd need to [read X / run Y / look up Z] to answer that — ask it as a normal prompt when you're ready." </quick_start>

**Good uses of /btw:** - `/btw what was the name of that config file again?` → answers from files already read in session - `/btw which branch are we on?` → answers from git context already established - `/btw did we already handle the null case in that function?` → answers from code already reviewed - `/btw what model does this use?` → answers from code or config already in context

Not a good fit for /btw (suggest normal prompt):

  • Questions requiring reading a file not yet seen
  • Questions requiring running a command
  • Questions needing a multi-step answer or follow-up
  • Starting a new task or changing direction
