Claude Code's Secret Weapon: Access Multiple Directories in One Session

A practical walkthrough of using Claude Code's multi-directory feature to migrate a podcast listing from manual markdown files to the Transistor API. By adding a second project directory (Spring Office Hours) to the Claude Code session settings, the AI can reference an already-working Transistor API integration and apply the same pattern to a new project (Fundamentals of Software Engineering site built with Nuxt). The workflow covers using plan mode first, iterating on the plan before writing code, clearing context to avoid context rot, and setting environment variables. The result is a working automated podcast feed pulled from the Transistor API, replacing manual markdown file management.
