What Should Happen?

Claude should have ingested context from Claude .md and other XXX.md files before outputting responses to my questions.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

Create a claude.md file in parent folder. Specify multiple specific files using '@' references that are in the same folder as an XXX.md instructional file. Ask Claude if it considered the XXX.md instructions.

Claude Code Version

claude isn't on the PATH in this shell environment. You'd need to run that from a terminal where the Claude Code CLI is installed — typically a regular Command Prompt or PowerShell session outside this context.

TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by ensuring the Claude Code CLI is installed and accessible in the current shell environment.

Guidance

  • Verify that the Claude Code CLI is installed and added to the system's PATH environment variable.
  • Try running the command from a regular Command Prompt or PowerShell session outside the current context.
  • Check the documentation for the Anthropic API and Claude Code CLI to ensure correct usage and configuration.
  • If the issue persists, try specifying the full path to the Claude Code CLI executable when running the command.

Notes

The provided information lacks specific error messages or logs, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. The guidance provided is based on the information given and may not fully resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Run the command from a terminal where the Claude Code CLI is installed, such as a regular Command Prompt or PowerShell session. This is recommended because the issue seems to be related to the CLI not being accessible in the current shell environment.
