FAQPage Schema
How do I launch Claude Code from any directory in my terminal?

You can launch Claude Code from any directory by installing a cross-shell launcher that adds a claudesidian command to your shell config, opening your vault and resuming sessions globally. The installer auto-detects your shell and handles path escaping automatically.

Does the claudesidian launcher work with bash, zsh, and fish shells?

Yes, the claudesidian launcher works with bash, zsh, and fish shells. The installer detects your active shell environment and updates the appropriate startup file with the correct syntax for that specific shell.

What is the best way to create a one-command workflow to open my vault?

The best way to create a one-command vault workflow is to install a portable shell function that aliases the claudesidian command. This function opens Claude Code in your vault and resumes an existing session when possible, ensuring a consistent startup process.

How do I safely modify my shell startup file to add a custom command?

To safely modify your shell startup file, the installer automatically creates a backup of your configuration before making changes. It then escapes vault paths safely and updates the appropriate shell config with the launcher function.

Can I test that my new shell launcher is configured correctly?

Yes, you can test your shell launcher configuration immediately after installation. The installer provides a quick test command to verify that the claudesidian function is properly loaded and your vault path is correctly escaped.

Why does my shell configuration need a backup before adding a launcher?

Your shell configuration needs a backup before adding a launcher to prevent accidental data loss or syntax errors. The installer creates this backup automatically before safely updating your startup file with the new claudesidian command.
