Custom Claude Code Commands That Simplified My Coding Sessions

Late last year I wrote two articles about working with AI assistants across sessions. Both worked really well. Copy-paste the handover prompt. Update the docs at the end of the session. Archive completed items before the file gets unwieldy. Simple. Turns out though, it could be even simpler. About a month ago I started using Claude Code and discovered commands. Hang on, they're just prompts d in files. New hammer looking for nails: you know the drill. I tried simplifying the continuation prompt. It became /next.
