claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] `/buddy` command disappears or becomes unavailable [1 comments, 2 participants]

[{"error":"Error: EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir 'C:\Users\roman\.claude\cache'\n at async oD$ (B:/~BUN/root/src/entrypoints/cli.js:6300:5443)","timestamp":"2026-04-22T06:58:07.300Z"}]

TL;DR

The issue might be resolved by removing the existing cache directory to allow the application to recreate it.

Guidance

• The error message EEXIST: file already exists suggests that the application is trying to create a directory that already exists, which could be causing the issue.
• Verify that the directory C:\\Users\\roman\\.claude\\cache exists and try removing it to see if the application can recreate it successfully.
• If removing the directory is not feasible, try renaming it to a different name to see if the application can create a new cache directory.
• Check the application's documentation or source code to see if there are any configuration options or environment variables that can be used to specify a different cache directory.

Example

No code snippet is provided as it is not clearly supported by the issue.

Notes

The provided solution assumes that the cache directory is not being used by other applications or processes. Removing or renaming the directory may cause data loss or other issues if it is being used by other applications.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Remove or rename the existing cache directory to allow the application to recreate it, as this is a simple and non-invasive solution that can help resolve the issue.
