Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Bug Description CLAUDE.md re-injection dedupe. The harness re-injects nested CLAUDE.mds when the agent crosses back into a subtree. No IDE-side workaround; worth filing as a feature request. Would save ~15k on bouncy investigations if implemented. I use nested claude.mds, and it appears by my agents investigations of token usage, that the claude.mds are being re-injected every time the agent touches the folder, so if they touch a folder 3-5 times during a session, it re-injects the claude.md for that folder every time. Would it be possible to add a flag or toggle to only have the agents get injected with the claude.mds once per session to avoid unnecessary token usage?

TL;DR

Implementing a flag or toggle to limit CLAUDE.md re-injection to once per session could resolve the issue of unnecessary token usage.

Guidance

  • Investigate the agent's behavior when crossing back into a subtree to understand why CLAUDE.md re-injection occurs multiple times.
  • Consider filing a feature request for the addition of a flag or toggle to control CLAUDE.md re-injection frequency.
  • Review token usage patterns to quantify the impact of the proposed fix and prioritize its implementation.
  • Evaluate potential workarounds, such as optimizing agent navigation or folder access patterns, to reduce the frequency of CLAUDE.md re-injection.

Notes

The issue lacks specific technical details about the agent's implementation and the CLAUDE.md re-injection mechanism, making it challenging to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a flag or toggle to limit CLAUDE.md re-injection to once per session could significantly reduce unnecessary token usage, as estimated to save ~15k on bouncy investigations.
