The process involved granting Claude Code access to all three repositories, including sibling checkouts, by using the `--add-dir` flag. Additionally, the developer explained how to ensure Claude Code loads configuration files like CLAUDE.md from these added directories and how to map the relationships between the repositories for the AI agent to understand the scope of the task.
