Bug Description
In the document https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/getting-started instalation of the ripgrep (rg) is recomended. But Claude Code so often use usual grep.To the file CLAUDE.md I added Use rg (ripgrep) instead of grep for better performance: ``bash # Instead of this: grep -r "searchterm" . # Use this: rg "searchterm" `` But it is ignored so often. I can discuss, like on, use rg now. But Claude can forget so often.
