claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Claude repeatedly prompts user to stop working / defer to next session [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by reiterating the instruction to never prompt to stop or pause work and ensuring the feedback_never_prompt_to_stop.md file is correctly saved and referenced.

Guidance

• Verify that the feedback_never_prompt_to_stop.md file is correctly formatted and saved in the expected location, as Claude Code relies on this file to understand user preferences.
• Check the CLAUDE.md file to ensure the rule "Owen decides when to stop. Keep working." is correctly stated and saved, as this rule should override any default behavior to prompt for stopping or pausing.
• When correcting Claude's behavior, ensure the correction is explicit and clear, such as directly stating "Do not prompt to stop or pause work" to reinforce the instruction.
• Consider testing the behavior in a new session to determine if the issue persists across sessions or is specific to the current session's context.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue is related to the interaction with the Claude Code VSCode extension and its configuration files.

Notes

The issue may be related to how Claude Code interprets and applies user instructions and preferences, particularly in the context of session management and task execution. Further investigation into the extension's documentation and support resources may be necessary to fully resolve the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Reiterate the instruction to never prompt to stop or pause work and ensure the feedback_never_prompt_to_stop.md file is correctly saved and referenced, as this approach directly addresses the observed behavior and provides a clear path to mitigating the issue.
