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:

  1. I work with multiple claude CLI window in multiple directories
  2. 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:
