Cloud Code only sees your current project folder by default. This one flag gives it access to any folder on your machine. By default, Cloud Code only has access to the folder you launched it from. Your docs are somewhere else, your codebase is somewhere else, your notes are somewhere else. Every time you need context, you're copying and pasting it manually. It's a flag called dash dash add dir. Using this exact command, Cloud Code can now read, pull, and reference all those directories from the same project folder. Add your API documentation. Add a codebase you're trying to match the style of. Add your personal knowledge base. It can cross-reference all of this while working in your project. You're not giving it one folder, you're giving it a whole workspace. Comment dirs for the full setup.
