Open ~/.claude in Your Editor

Open ~/.claude in your editor when you are actively tuning Claude Code.

That folder can contain user-level configuration, settings, skills, agents, commands, and personal instructions. Keeping it visible makes it easier to maintain your setup without switching mental contexts.

  • settings.json
  • CLAUDE.md
  • Skills
  • Agents
  • Slash commands
  • Local workflow notes

If your editor supports multi-root workspaces, add both your project folder and ~/.claude.

This lets you update a project instruction, a user-level rule, or a reusable skill while staying in the same working environment.

Be careful not to commit personal files from ~/.claude into project repositories.
