Feature Request: Persist session directory configuration #1740
Description
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
(Generated by Agency itself) Allow persisting /cwd and /add-dir paths in a config file (e.g., ~/.copilot/config.json) so they are automatically applied on session start. This would save setup time for developers who consistently work across multiple directories
Proposed solution
(Generated by Agency itself)
Developers rarely work in a single directory. Most have a primary codebase plus shared utility libraries, internal tools, or reference repos they regularly pull from. Having to re-configure this layout every session adds friction and breaks the "just launch and go" experience. Persisting directory config would make Copilot CLI feel like
it truly knows your workspace — not just the folder you happened to cd into. It reduces onboarding time per session from ~30 seconds of setup commands to zero, which compounds across dozens of daily sessions.
Example prompts or workflows
To avoid every time I start from C:\Foo and manually add-dir C:\bar
