Claude Code v1.0.62

The /add-dir command has been completely redesigned with an interactive UI and persistent storage options:

Usage: /add-dir <directory-path>

• Interactive Selection: When adding a directory, you now get three options:
• Yes, for this session - Adds the directory only for the current session
• Yes, remember - Adds the directory and saves it to local settings for future sessions
• No - Cancels the operation

• Visual Feedback: The command now displays:
• The directory path being added in cyan
• A clear explanation that Claude will be able to read files and make edits in this directory
• Better error messages if the path is invalid

• Persistent Storage: When choosing "Yes, remember", the directory is saved to your local settings and will be available in future sessions

You can now mention agents directly in your prompts using the @agent- syntax:

Usage: @agent-<agent-type>

Example:

Please help me refactor this code @agent-refactoring-specialist

The system will automatically detect and process agent mentions in your messages.

A new hook system that runs when starting a new session, allowing for automatic context injection and initialization tasks. This runs automatically on startup unless using --continue, --resume, or --teleport flags.

Added intelligent directory path completion that:

• Supports ~ for home directory expansion
• Provides up to 10 directory suggestions
• Filters hidden directories (starting with .)
• Caches results for 5 minutes for better performance

The tool selection interface has been significantly improved:

• MCP Server Grouping: MCP tools are now grouped by server for easier management
• New Categories: Tools are now organized into:
• Read-only tools
• Edit tools
• Execution tools
• MCP tools (new dedicated category)
• Other tools (new category for miscellaneous tools)
• Advanced Options: Replaced "Show individual tools" with "Show advanced options" that reveals:
• MCP servers with tool counts
• Individual tool selection
• Better Navigation: Header sections are now non-interactive and properly skipped during keyboard navigation
• Escape to Cancel: Press Esc to cancel tool selection and use initial tools

• Centralized ripgrep path resolution with better quoting for paths containing spaces
• More robust handling of bundled vs system ripgrep
• Improved alias generation in shell snapshots with proper escaping

The settings file watcher has been streamlined:

• Removed redundant state tracking
• Simplified change detection logic
• More efficient memory usage
• Better event handling for file changes

• Connection check interval increased to 30 seconds (from 1 second on non-Mac platforms)
• Added caching for directory listing operations (5-minute TTL)
• Optimized settings watcher to reduce memory footprint

• Better error handling for agent mentions
• Improved type safety with centralized MCP tool detection
• More consistent path resolution across the codebase
• Enhanced stream handling with proper PassThrough imports

• Proper handling of spaces in ripgrep paths on all platforms
• Correct escaping of quotes in shell snapshot generation
• Better error messages for invalid session IDs in --print mode

• New SessionStart hook type added to the hook system
• Centralized MCP tool identification with Is1() function
• Improved modularity for agent mention processing
• Better separation of concerns in the /add-dir command implementation
