+# Accessing `cwd` from formatters
+
+## Summary
+
+This RFC lets formatters can access `cwd` in order to make relative paths or do something like.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Our Node.js API has the `cwd` option, and ESLint uses it while linting. But formatters cannot access the `cwd` option. It prevents formatters from making relative paths for readability.
+
+## Detailed Design
+
+Pass `cwd` to the `cwd` property of the second argument, then formatters can use it.
+
+```js
+module.exports = (results, context) => {
+  console.log(context.cwd) // → the absolute path to the current working directory.
+  console.log(context.rulesMeta) // → the metadata of the used rules (it exists currently).
+}
+```
+
+### Implementation
+
+The adapter object that the `ESLint.prototype.loadFormatter` method makes gives the `cwd`.

+## Documentation
+
+We should update the "[Working with Custom Formatters](https://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/working-with-custom-formatters)" page to mention the `cwd`.
+
+## Drawbacks
+
+Nothing in particular.
+
+## Backwards Compatibility Analysis
+
+This addition is backward compatible.
+
+If custom formatters want to use the `cwd` property and continue to support old versions of ESLint, they must check if the `cwd` property exists or not.
