Description
Feature Description
Command Code currently stores user-level data in ~/.commandcode with no way to change the base directory.
Add a COMMANDCODE_HOME environment variable, defaulting to ~/.commandcode, and resolve all user-level paths relative to it.
Example:
COMMANDCODE_HOME="${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/commandcode" cmd
Use Case
Users following the XDG Base Directory Specification, using encrypted or separate storage, or managing multiple environments need control over where Command Code stores its data.
This also avoids placing application-specific directories directly under $HOME.
Additional Context
Other coding agents already provide this:
- Codex:
CODEX_HOME - Claude Code:
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR - pi:
PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR
The default ~/.commandcode location should remain unchanged for backwards compatibility. Project-local .commandcode directories should continue working as they do currently.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that resolves the current ~/.commandcode user-level paths and the cmd entry point. Verify that COMMANDCODE_HOME overrides the default, all user-level paths use it, the default remains unchanged, and project-local .commandcode directories continue working.
