Context Duplication in Worktrees Causing Excessive Context Consumption

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jul 9, 2025 by myaroshefsky Closed Jan 5, 2026

Bug Description
I'm working in worktrees so that I can parallel work with multiple claude code agents, and i just discovered that claude code run in a worktree is reading in both the claude.md file inside the worktree and in the parent, resulting in double the consumed context. Running --add-dir doesn't help. Output that informed me:

claude --add-dir .
