claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Bare /loop ignores .claude/loop.md — shows usage prompt instead [1 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be worked around by specifying the path to the loop.md file when running the /loop command, until the auto-detection issue is resolved.

Guidance

• Verify that the .claude/loop.md file exists in the project root and has the correct permissions.
• Check if the issue persists when running the command from the project root versus a subdirectory.
• Test if providing the path to the loop.md file explicitly, as in the provided workaround, works consistently.
• Review the scheduled tasks docs to ensure that the loop.md file is correctly formatted and placed.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems related to configuration and file placement rather than code.

Notes

The issue might be related to how Claude detects and prioritizes the loop.md files in different locations. Further investigation into the documentation and possibly the source code of Claude might be necessary to understand why the auto-detection is not working as expected.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround by specifying the path to the loop.md file when running the /loop command, as this allows the model to read and execute the file correctly until the auto-detection issue is addressed.
