BoxClaudeBox your Claude Code. Pick exactly which files and folders Claude Code can see — nothing more. Scope is saved to The ProblemClaude Code roams your entire project by default. It touches files far outside your intent, introduces scope creep, silently alters unrelated code, and runs out of context mid-feature. BoxClaude puts you back in control. FeaturesBox by folder or file — Set your scope at any granularity: an entire module, a handful of files, or one single source file. Dependency graph — Visualize your codebase as an interactive graph. Pan, zoom, and explore before you decide what Claude sees. Cyclic dependency detection — Cycles are highlighted in red using DFS coloring. Understand your architecture before Claude starts editing. Private to your machine — Scope saves to Context menu integration — Right-click any file or folder in the VSCode Explorer. Add, remove, or reset your Box in one click. Visual Box badges — Files in your Box are marked with a How It Works1. Right-click in the Explorer Select a file or folder → Set as Claude Box. Claude is now scoped to exactly there.
2. Scope is saved to CLAUDE.local.md BoxClaude writes your selection to
3. Add more folders as needed One folder too narrow? Add more to your Box as the feature grows.
4. Surgical precision — one file at a time Add individual files to your Box. Claude sees only what you have explicitly allowed.
5. Claude becomes oriented to your work With your Box defined, Claude's context is sharp and focused. It knows exactly where it is and where it can work.
6. Open the dependency graph Visualize your codebase, then set your Box from there with full context.
7. Click to scope from the graph Click any node in the dependency graph to add it to your Box.
8. Catch cycles before Claude does BoxClaude detects and highlights cyclic dependencies in red. Fix your architecture first — then let Claude in.
