A band above the prompt showing the current session's directory, with a Copy button that puts the path on the clipboard.
A Claude Code mod that adds a band above the prompt showing the current session's directory, with a Copy button that puts the path on the clipboard:
Session dir C:\Users\you\.claude\projects\C--Users-you-repo\<session-id> [Copy]The path is the session's transcript path without .jsonl (~/.claude/projects/<project>/<session-id>). It follows /clear and resumes. Claude Code only creates that folder once the session writes something there, such as subagent transcripts or large tool outputs, so it may not exist yet.
At the prompt of a terminal Claude Code session:
/plugin install session-dir-button --marketplace dcr-lol/claude-session-modAnswer y to add the marketplace, then pick a scope.
