Cmd. /add-dir

Add a working directory for file access in this session.

Key takeaways

  • Add a working directory for file access in this session.
  • Check the input surface and availability before using the examples below.

Reviewed against2026-09-22 · Claude Code 2.1.278

The installed command menu and account or organization settings determine availability.

Examples

/add-dir ../shared

Effects and persistence

Adds file access for this session; it does not load every project setting from the added directory.

Cautions

Grant only the directories the task needs; adding access does not import all configuration from that directory.
