Description

The # shortcut for quickly adding memories to CLAUDE.md files has stopped working.

## Expected Behavior

Typing # <memory text> at the start of a message should save that text to the user or project CLAUDE.md file (with a prompt to choose the destination).

## Actual Behavior

The # prefix is treated as regular text and no memory saving action is triggered.

## Environment

• Claude Code version: 2.0.74
• OS: Windows

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Claude Code CLI
2. Type # This is a test memory
3. Press Enter
4. Expected: Prompt to save to user/project memory
5. Actual: Message is processed as regular input, no memory save occurs

## Additional Context

This feature was working in a previous version. The /memory command still works as an alternative for manually editing CLAUDE.md files.
