Claude Desktop
What it does
In the author's words
An IDE-style file tree for Claude Code that shows what Claude is doing and where in files

How it works
- Shows a pane of the working folder, or a folder you pin, opened with /filetree
- Reads git status per file and folder, and the branch with its ahead and behind counts
- Rows shimmer as Claude reads, writes and commits them; auto-collapse closes what it opened
- Marks files and folders off limits to Claude's edits, and sends shaded rows as context
Common questions
How can I see which files Claude Code is reading or editing?
With this mod, the files Claude reads, writes and commits shimmer in a file tree pane, with git status and line counts on changed files. The Activity shimmer setting in /config turns the shimmer off in every session.
Can I keep Claude Code from editing certain files?
The README says the tree can guard files and folders from Claude's edits, and shows files written outside the repo.
How do I give Claude files from the tree as context?
Select a row, or mark up to 100 rows with v, shift+click or ctrl+click (alt+click on macOS). The shaded rows go to Claude as context, and y copies them.
