I'm getting the same. So I guess Claude was vibe coded...

How To fix this?

ramakay · 1 year ago

only way that works for me is to press esc go 3-4 messages back, i manually copy the previous lines upto the esc so it doesn't lose context of the forward converesation.

Same here, I think it the .claude.json file that gets corrupted line 1 column 239091 (char 239090)"}} is from that file, it gets really big and sometimes corrupted, when if you run a /clear command it deletes full history for that repo but at least it will work again. You could ask claude code to open claude.json and see what the issue is on that line :-)

Probably Claude was vibe-coded :)

Anthropic's has to start hiring real engineers and not vibe coders.
