What I don’t like about Claude Code is why can’t they give command line flags for this stuff? It’s better documented and people don’t have to discover this the hard way.

Similarly, I do miss an —add command line flag to manual specify the context (files) during the session. Right now I pretty much end up copy pasting the relative paths from VSCode and supply to Claude. Aider has much better semantics for such stuff.



Maybe I’m not getting this, but you can tab to autocomplete file paths.

You can use English or —add if you want to tell Claude to reference them.


Never knew about `tab` shortcut, thanks for letting me know!

BTW, as I was using it today, I was quite surprised to see `@` working now. Turns out in 0.27.5 they added this feature: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/blob/main/CHANGELO... :)
