 ## Usage
 
 1. **Launch Claude**: Run `:ClaudeCode` to open Claude in a split terminal
-2. **Send context**: Select text and run `:'<,'>ClaudeCodeSend` to send it to Claude
+2. **Send context**:
+   - Select text in visual mode and use `<leader>as` to send it to Claude
+   - In `nvim-tree` or `neo-tree`, press `<leader>as` on a file to add it to Claude's context
 3. **Let Claude work**: Claude can now:
    - See your current file and selections in real-time
    - Open files in your editor
    - Show diffs with proposed changes
    - Access diagnostics and workspace info
 
+## Commands
+
+- `:ClaudeCode` - Toggle the Claude Code terminal window
+- `:ClaudeCodeSend` - Send current visual selection to Claude, or add files from tree explorer
+- `:ClaudeCodeTreeAdd` - Add selected file(s) from tree explorer to Claude context (also available via ClaudeCodeSend)
+
+### Tree Integration
+
+The `<leader>as` keybinding has context-aware behavior:
+
+- **In normal buffers (visual mode)**: Sends selected text to Claude
+- **In nvim-tree/neo-tree buffers**: Adds the file under cursor (or selected files) to Claude's context
+
+This allows you to quickly add entire files to Claude's context for review, refactoring, or discussion.
+
+#### Features
+
+- **Single file**: Place cursor on any file and press `<leader>as`
+- **Multiple files**: Select multiple files (using tree plugin's selection features) and press `<leader>as`
+- **Smart detection**: Automatically detects whether you're in nvim-tree or neo-tree
+- **Error handling**: Clear feedback if no files are selected or if tree plugins aren't available
+
 ## How It Works
 
 This plugin creates a WebSocket server that Claude Code CLI connects to, implementing the same protocol as the official VS Code extension. When you launch Claude, it automatically detects Neovim and gains full access to your editor.

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] fix: implement proper nvim-tree visual selection support

- Replace fallback to single-file selection with line-by-line node mapping
- Support visual line selection (V), character selection (v), and block selection (Ctrl-V)
- Add comprehensive test suite for nvim-tree visual selection scenarios
- Include deduplication and root-level file filtering
- Maintain compatibility with existing nvim-tree marks functionality

Fixes issue where multi-selection in nvim-tree only sent cursor file instead of all selected files.

Subject: [PATCH 4/9] refactor: extract broadcast functions and add
 ClaudeCodeAdd command

- Extract broadcast_at_mention() for single file broadcasts
- Extract add_paths_to_claude() for batch operations with optional delays
- Refactor all existing handlers to use centralized functions
- Add ClaudeCodeAdd <file-path> command for direct file addition
- Remove verbose comments that describe "what" instead of "why"
- Add comprehensive documentation to README with examples
- Add 13 test cases covering command registration, validation, and functionality
- Maintain all existing functionality and test compatibility (164 tests passing)

 - **Smart detection**: Automatically detects whether you're in nvim-tree or neo-tree
 - **Error handling**: Clear feedback if no files are selected or if tree plugins aren't available
 
+### Direct File Addition
+
+The `:ClaudeCodeAdd` command allows you to add files or directories directly by path:
+
+```vim
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/projects/myproject/
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ./README.md
+```
+
+#### Features
+
+- **Path completion**: Tab completion for file and directory paths
+- **Path expansion**: Supports `~` for home directory and relative paths
+- **Validation**: Checks that files and directories exist before adding
+- **Flexible**: Works with both individual files and entire directories
+
+#### Examples
+
+```vim
+" Add a specific file
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/components/Header.tsx
+
+" Add an entire directory
+:ClaudeCodeAdd tests/
+
+" Add file in home directory
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
+
+" Add relative path
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ../other-project/package.json
+```
+
 ## How It Works
 
 This plugin creates a WebSocket server that Claude Code CLI connects to, implementing the same protocol as the official VS Code extension. When you launch Claude, it automatically detects Neovim and gains full access to your editor.

From 03c159f6601eba096327a887588284fb3b3560a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Thomas Kosiewski <tk@coder.com>
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2025 20:51:23 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 5/9] feat: add line range support to ClaudeCodeAdd command

- Add optional start-line and end-line arguments to ClaudeCodeAdd command
- Convert 1-indexed user input to 0-indexed for Claude compatibility
- Add comprehensive validation for line numbers (positive, start <= end)
- Ignore line numbers for directories with debug logging
- Remove redundant vim.notify calls (logger handles notifications)
- Update README with line range syntax and examples
- Add extensive test coverage for all line range scenarios
- Clean up chatty comments that describe obvious operations

 ### Direct File Addition
 
-The `:ClaudeCodeAdd` command allows you to add files or directories directly by path:
+The `:ClaudeCodeAdd` command allows you to add files or directories directly by path, with optional line range specification:
 
 ```vim
 :ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua
 :ClaudeCodeAdd ~/projects/myproject/
 :ClaudeCodeAdd ./README.md
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua 50 100    " Lines 50-100 only
+:ClaudeCodeAdd config.lua 25          " From line 25 to end of file
 ```
 
 #### Features
 
 - **Path completion**: Tab completion for file and directory paths
 - **Path expansion**: Supports `~` for home directory and relative paths
-- **Validation**: Checks that files and directories exist before adding
+- **Line range support**: Optionally specify start and end lines for files (ignored for directories)
+- **Validation**: Checks that files and directories exist before adding, validates line numbers
 - **Flexible**: Works with both individual files and entire directories
 
 #### Examples
 
 ```vim
-" Add a specific file
+" Add entire files
 :ClaudeCodeAdd src/components/Header.tsx
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
 
-" Add an entire directory
+" Add entire directories (line numbers ignored)
 :ClaudeCodeAdd tests/
+:ClaudeCodeAdd ../other-project/
 
-" Add file in home directory
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ~/.config/nvim/init.lua
+" Add specific line ranges
+:ClaudeCodeAdd src/main.lua 50 100        " Lines 50 through 100
+:ClaudeCodeAdd config.lua 25              " From line 25 to end of file

+:ClaudeCodeAdd README.md 10 20            " Just lines 10-20
 
-" Add relative path
-:ClaudeCodeAdd ../other-project/package.json
+" Path expansion works with line ranges

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] refactor: remove worthless comments that describe obvious
 code

- Remove comments that just describe what code does rather than why
- Keep valuable LuaDoc annotations and explanatory comments
- Remove obvious descriptive comments like "Create directory", "Write to file", etc.
- Preserve comments that explain business logic, error handling rationale, or complex algorithms
- All tests continue passing (181 successes)

From f5dac7daab6b946aa44f24569d8e1bd0281388ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Thomas Kosiewski <tk@coder.com>
Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2025 08:50:59 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 9/9] refactor: clean up chatty comments and improve code
 maintainability

- Remove procedural comments that describe obvious code actions
- Eliminate redundant explanatory text in function documentation
- Replace repeated logger require calls with cached variables
- Fix luacheck warning about inefficient loop pattern
- Add comprehensive test coverage for edge cases and error handling
- Preserve valuable comments that explain "why" not "what"

All tests pass (215 successes) with 0 warnings/errors across 61 files.
