[FEATURE] Create /pwd command to display current working directory
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I often use multiple claude CLI window in different working directories and the top bar pwd is troncated all the time, and get lost up when adding conversation. I would like a simple /pwd command to display the current working directory instead of asking claude "pwd" which cost tokens, or exiting then re entering session to check current working directory.
Proposed Solution
Add a /pwd that simply display the current working directory.
Alternative Solutions
I am exiting and re entering the session, or sometimes asking claude "pwd" but that cost tokens.
Priority
Low - Nice to have
Feature Category
CLI commands and flags
Use Case Example
Example scenario:
- I work with multiple claude CLI window in multiple directories
- I forget / want to be sure where the claude CLI is before asking tasks on a project.
Asking Claude to refactor code in a specific way while being in a directory unrelated to that request would likely mess up the entire codebase; therefore, it’s important to quickly verify where I am before proceeding.
Additional Context
It would be better to use /pwd instead, so it’s instantaneous and doesn’t consume tokens:
