Feature request: Store plan mode files in project .claude/plans/ instead of ~/.claude/plans/
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 14, 2026 by myamakawa Closed Mar 14, 2026
Problem
Plan mode files accumulate in ~/.claude/plans/ with random names (e.g., misty-sleeping-cherny.md), making it difficult to:
- Associate plans with specific projects
- Organize or clean up old plans
- Share plans with team members via git
Current behavior
- Plan files are always saved to
~/.claude/plans/(user-level) - File names are randomly generated
- No cleanup or listing command exists
- Moving files breaks plan mode editing (Ctrl+G)
Inconsistency
Other project-scoped files already use project-level .claude/:
.claude/rules/✅.claude/agents/✅.claude/skills/✅.claude/plans/❌ (missing)
Suggested improvements
- Option to save plans in project
.claude/plans/instead of (or in addition to)~/.claude/plans/ - Meaningful file names — date + summary (e.g.,
2026-03-14_auth-refactor.md) instead of random words - A command to list/clean up old plan files (e.g.,
/plans list,/plans clean)
Use case
When working on multiple projects, plan files from all projects mix together in ~/.claude/plans/. Storing them at the project level would keep plans organized, version-controllable, and easier to reference later.
