When running claude from a specific project directory and using the /resume command, the conversation picker now shows all conversations across all projects instead of only conversations from the current working directory.

Previously, /resume would filter the list to only show conversations that were started in the current directory, which was the expected and more useful behavior.

Description

When running claude from a specific project directory and using the /resume command, the conversation picker now shows all conversations across all projects instead of only conversations from the current working directory.

Previously, /resume would filter the list to only show conversations that were started in the current directory, which was the expected and more useful behavior.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. cd into a specific project directory
  2. Run claude
  3. Use /resume
  4. Observe that conversations from all project directories are listed, not just the current one

Expected Behavior

/resume should only show conversations associated with the current working directory, matching the previous behavior.

Actual Behavior

/resume shows all conversations regardless of which directory they were started in.

Environment

  • Claude Code version: 2.1.101
  • OS: Linux Mint 22.3 (Cinnamon)
  • Shell: bash

Notes

claude -c (continue) still correctly respects the current directory context and resumes the most recent conversation for that directory. The issue is specifically with the /resume interactive picker.

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by modifying the claude command to respect the current working directory when using the /resume command.

Guidance

  • Verify that the claude version 2.1.101 is the latest available, as this issue may be resolved in a newer version.
  • Check the documentation for claude to see if there are any configuration options or flags that can be used to filter conversations by directory.
  • Test using claude -c instead of /resume to see if it meets the required functionality, as it correctly respects the current directory context.
  • Consider reporting this issue to the claude developers, as it appears to be a regression from the previous behavior.

Notes

The cause of this issue is unclear, but it may be related to a change in the claude codebase that affects the /resume command's filtering behavior.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Use claude -c instead of /resume to resume the most recent conversation for the current directory, as it still respects the current directory context.
