 #### Skills from additional directories
 
-The `--add-dir` flag and `/add-dir` command [grant file access](/docs/en/permissions#additional-directories-grant-file-access-not-configuration) rather than configuration discovery, but skills and commands are an exception: Claude Code loads `.claude/skills/` and `.claude/commands/` from each added directory automatically. This exception applies only to `--add-dir` and `/add-dir`. The `permissions.additionalDirectories` setting in `settings.json` grants file access only and doesn't load skills or commands. See [Live change detection](#live-change-detection) for how skill edits are picked up during a session.

-Other `.claude/` configuration such as output styles is not loaded from additional directories. See the [exceptions table](/docs/en/permissions#additional-directories-grant-file-access-not-configuration) for the complete list of what is and isn't loaded, and the recommended ways to share configuration across projects.
+Subagents follow the same exception: when you add a directory, Claude Code loads its `.claude/agents/` folder too. It doesn't watch that folder, or the added directory's `.claude/commands/`, so after you add or edit a subagent or command file there, restart the session to load the change.

 <Note>
   CLAUDE.md files from `--add-dir` directories are not loaded by default. To load them, set `CLAUDE_CODE_ADDITIONAL_DIRECTORIES_CLAUDE_MD=1`. See [Load from additional directories](/docs/en/memory#load-from-additional-directories).
