claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Welcome banner suggests /init even when CLAUDE.md already exists [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Check the file existence check logic to ensure it correctly handles symlinks and existing CLAUDE.md files.

Guidance

• Review the code responsible for displaying the welcome banner to identify where the file existence check is performed.
• Verify that the check correctly handles the case where a CLAUDE.md file exists via a symlink.
• Consider modifying the check to use a more robust method, such as checking for the file's presence using a filesystem-aware approach.
• Test the modified check with various scenarios, including existing CLAUDE.md files and symlinks.

Example

No code snippet is provided due to lack of specific implementation details.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation of the file existence check in the Claude Code v2.1.47 version.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the file existence check logic to correctly handle existing CLAUDE.md files and symlinks, as this is a specific issue that can be addressed without waiting for a version upgrade.
