I added this to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

"env": { "CLAUDE_BASH_MAINTAIN_PROJECT_WORKING_DIR": "1" },

> Working directory persists across commands. Set CLAUDE_BASH_MAINTAIN_PROJECT_WORKING_DIR=1 to reset to the project directory after each command.

It reduces one problem - getting lost - but it trades it off for more complex commands on average since it has to specify the full path and/or `cd &&` most of the time.
