claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Skills and hooks not available in worktrees created by `claude -w` [2 comments, 2 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue can be fixed by adjusting the directory discovery logic in Claude Code to correctly resolve the project root's .claude/ directory in worktree sessions.

Guidance

• The problem arises because the .claude/ directory discovery logic resolves to .claude/worktrees/<name>/.claude/ instead of the project root's .claude/ when creating a worktree with claude -w <name>.
• To verify the issue, check if skills defined in .claude/skills/ are loaded and hook scripts referenced by relative paths execute correctly in the worktree session.
• A potential workaround could involve manually adjusting the settings.local.json file in the worktree's .claude/ directory to point to the correct locations of skills and hooks in the project root.
• The root cause seems to be related to the directory resolution logic, which may need to be updated to handle worktree scenarios correctly.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not explicitly mention specific code that needs to be changed.

Notes

The provided information does not specify the exact changes needed to the directory discovery logic or settings.local.json, so any adjustments would need to be explored and tested carefully.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the settings.local.json file in the worktree's .claude/ directory to point to the correct locations of skills and hooks in the project root, as this seems to be a regression and the previous working version is not specified.
