claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [FEATURE] Why don't you support .llmignore to ignore files / folder for context search. This is along the lines of .gitignore for git [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a .llmignore file to specify folders and files to be ignored by Claude Code could be the most straightforward solution.

Guidance

• Consider creating a .llmignore file in the root directory of your project to list patterns of folders and files that should be ignored by Claude Code.
• Consider adding a CLI flag or option to allow users to specify the location of the .llmignore file or to override its settings.
• Evaluate the feasibility of integrating the .llmignore functionality into the existing Claude Code configuration, potentially through the claude.md file.
• Research existing implementations of ignore files (e.g., .gitignore) for inspiration on how to structure and parse the .llmignore file.

Notes

The proposed solution is inspired by standard practices in version control systems, but its implementation details and compatibility with Claude Code's current architecture need to be assessed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a .llmignore file as a temporary solution until the feature is officially supported by Claude Code, as it aligns with standard practices and could provide the desired functionality with minimal integration effort.
