Claude Code Has an Awesome Feature We Rarely Use

Long chats with Claude Code are where the real work happens. One session can hold a bug hunt, a redesign and a release.

But the longer the chat, the harder it gets to find anything in it.

If you use Claude Code a lot, you probably know this one:

1. You give it a task.

2. It answers.

3. You're not happy with one detail, so you ask for a fix.

And instead of fixing that detail, it rewrites the whole answer from step 2. Now you have two versions and no idea which parts changed. You only wanted a fix.

So you start scrolling up. You copy and paste the old answer back in. It's a mess.

What you really want is to point Claude at one exact spot in the chat instead of scrolling and pasting.

And the mess grows with the chat:

• one chat ends up holding several topics, and its title no longer says what happened in it
• it gets hard to jump back to an earlier topic
• it gets hard to point Claude at the exact part you talked about earlier

Renaming the chat is the first line of defense. It rarely helps in a very long one.

Luckily, Claude Code has a feature not many people know about: chapters.
