What is it?

Claude Code Filetree is a mod for Claude Code that adds a file tree pane in the right sidebar of the session. The tree follows the working directory and shows git status for each file and folder, along with line-change counts and branch information in the header.

While Claude works, the tree shows what it is doing: files it reads or searches shimmer purple, files it writes shimmer orange, and commits show green. Selecting a file passes it to Claude as context, and @path mentions in a prompt reveal that file in the tree. Users can search the tree, view diffs, preview Markdown and code, and open files in their default app or a chosen editor.

It requires Claude Code 2.1.287 or newer and is installed as a Claude Code plugin marketplace entry. In the terminal it needs the fullscreen layout and at least 110 columns.
