feat(models): prefer absolute, scoped paths in Bash and search - #7
Merged
Merged
Conversation
Add token rules instructing Claude Code to use absolute paths in Bash commands and to scope grep/rg searches to a specific path. A relative path requires a preceding cd (which can trigger a permission prompt and an extra round-trip), and an unscoped search returns more noise and burns more tokens than a targeted one.

Summary
Adds two token rules to
models.mdfor Claude Code:cd, and acdinside a compound command can trigger a permission prompt and an extra round-trip.grep/rgand other searches to a specific absolute path rather than the whole repo — a targeted search returns fewer, more relevant hits and burns fewer tokens.Both join the existing Token rules as Claude Code-only conventions.
