What's Wrong?
When I try to create a claude.md file on a repo that I cloned from github (https://github.com/awslabs/kubeflow-manifests#) , I gave the prompt some more information then just writing /init .
my prompt was :
/init the repository represent AWS version to install kubeflow on their infrastructure. I want to follow this guidelines only without creating VPC, EKS or Route53 resources since
those already exists on our infrastructure. we will use terraform for the deployment
claude code completly ignored the instuction and did not restrict the claude.md to take into account the restrictions and extra direction .
only after the claude.md file got created , I had to redirect it again to take my prompt into account

What Should Happen?
- Claude init command should take the user input into account and limit its Claude.md creation with the user instructions .
Error Messages/Logs
- Claude Code said "You are right!" and re-wrote the Claude.MD correctly , but the process took more time and more tokens
