PAI must run from ~/.claude directory - preventing adding files of a project's directory to context.

[SeanBlahovici]

I have been playing around with PAI, and one annoying issue I have is this:
I start Pai from my project's directory, but it cd's back to ./claude directory. I tried modifying the scripts to force Pai to run in my project's directory, but then it writes MEMORY files in my project's directory...

I would be fine with running in .claude user directory, but referencing files to add them to context with @mentions does not show an autocomplete. This is close to being a dealbreaker as I rely heavily on adding files to context this way.

Does anyone have a workaround? Is it possible to run PAI from a chosen directory and have it modify the fiels it needs to modify in the user's .claude directory?

Thank you!

For running in project directory you can run pai --local.

MEMORY files in project directory is a regression introduced with 4.0.x versions. Somewhere is an issue for that

Here it is #915. @danielmiessler has closed the issue with This is being addressed as part of the next major PAI release comment, but there was no new release since then.
