Add additional directories for tools to explore

[negz]

I'm a recent convert from Claude Code, where I use /add-dir pretty heavily to give the LLM access to related directories. For example I mostly work on @crossplane, which is a Go project. It's built using the crossplane-runtime library, which is a separate repo and thus checked out in a separate dir. Sometimes it helps the LLM have access to that directory to learn something about how the library works.

I couldn't find any way to do something like this in Crush.

I just learned I can just tell the LLM to read files outside of the working directory. 🤔

This solves my problem, but it seems like it'd be better to opt-into allowing access to files outside the working directory.

Yep I agree, this definitely is something we'd like to add, there's no ETA yet but its in my list.

I'm on the same boat, this is extremely useful. You can tell the model to look into a certain dir but then you need to give it permissions to do anything in there.
