Section/Topic
Project Configuration
Current Documentation

Nothing about toml at all
What's Wrong or Missing?
Claude itself recommended and created the following file in .claude/claude_project.toml:
# Claude Code Project Configuration
# This file adds additional paths to the project context
[context]
# Additional working directories (can be relative or absolute)
additional_working_directories = [
"../related-microservice",
"../../shared-libraries/common-utils",
"/home/user/projects/data-pipeline",
"~/workspace/company/analytics-dashboard"
]
# Optional: Restrict allowed operations on the additional directories
# allowed_operations = ["Read"]
Suggested Improvement
I can not find anything about claude_project.toml or even toml files in general for configuration.
Updated the docs and/or provide a way how to detect bleeding edge features.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
Additional Context
The feature works fine, there's just zero documentation.
