Claude Code's /clear Command as Of Mice and Men's Final Scene

Description

An illustration in the style of John Steinbeck's 'Of Mice and Men' showing two characters in a pastoral setting with large trees. The larger, innocent-looking character (representing the AI chat session/context) sits contentedly on a log with clasped hands, labeled with a terminal overlay reading '+ Canoodling...' (an AI processing/thinking indicator). Behind him, the thinner, more serious-looking character holds a pistol pointed at the back of his head, with a terminal overlay showing '> /clear' with a cursor. This memes the act of clearing an AI conversation context as the heartbreaking final scene from Of Mice and Men where George must shoot Lennie. The AI session, blissfully unaware and happily processing, is about to be terminated by the /clear command -- a devastatingly apt metaphor for killing a warm, context-rich conversation
