Feature Request: `/btw` — Interrupt & Ask Mid-Operation

What is /btw?

Both Claude CLI and QWEN CLI have a /btw feature. While the model is mid-operation (generating code, reviewing files, exploring a codebase), the user can type /btw to interrupt the model and ask a question about what it's cur$

The model then:

1. Pauses its current output
2. Answers the user's question
3. Resumes (or adjusts) what it was doing

Use Cases

• Model is writing a long refactor, user realizes a clarification is needed → /btw "wait, does this handle the edge case where X is null?"
• Model is exploring a codebase → /btw "also check the auth middleware"
• Model is reviewing code → /btw "what does that function actually do?"

Why Extensions Can't Add This

None of Command Code's user-extension mechanisms can implement /btw:

/btw requires changes to the core conversation event loop: listening for a special input during model output streaming, interrupting the stream, injecting context, and resuming. This is CLI-internal plumbing.

Request

Please add a /btw (or similar interrupt-and-ask) slash command that lets users pause the model mid-operation to ask clarifying questions.

Start at the core conversation event loop and model output streaming path described in the issue, and trace how user input is handled during generation. Determine the interruption, question injection, and resume behavior needed; done means a user can invoke /btw mid-operation, receive an answer, and resume or adjust the original task.
