Directory Structure Not Updated After Folder Renaming
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 25, 2025 by paulmaunders Closed May 6, 2025
Bug Description
Directory structure context is not updated when folders are renamed. Perhaps there could be a command to refresh the context, or it could do it on /clear, or automatically.

Note that I have replaced my actual home dir with ~ in the example below:
% claude
╭───────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ ✻ Welcome to Claude Code research preview! │
│ │
│ /help for help │
│ │
│ cwd:~/Projects/claude-code-test │
╰───────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯
Tips for getting started:
1. Run /init to create a CLAUDE.md file with instructions for Claude.
2. Ask Claude questions about your codebase.
3. Ask Claude to implement changes to your codebase.
> can you show me the directory structure context you are aware of?
⏺ Here's the directory structure I'm aware of:
- ~/Projects/claude-code-test/
- Test Directory/
> lets rename the test directory to remove the space
⏺ Bash(mv "Test Directory" TestDirectory)…
⎿ (No content)
> can you show me the directory structure context you are aware of?
⏺ I'm still aware of the initial directory structure:
-~/Projects/claude-code-test/
- Test Directory/
Note that I've renamed "Test Directory" to "TestDirectory", but this change isn't reflected in my static context which was captured at the start of our conversation.This issue has 3 comments on GitHub. Read the full discussion on GitHub ↗
