[DOCS] Terminology mismatch between Changelog and Memory docs regarding `@include` vs `@path`

Documentation Type

Unclear/confusing documentation

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#claudemd-imports

Section/Topic

The "CLAUDE.md imports" section within the Memory documentation.

Current Documentation

"CLAUDE.md files can import additional files using @path/to/import syntax."

What's Wrong or Missing?

There is a discrepancy in terminology between the official documentation and the release changelog. The changelog for version 2.1.2 refers to this feature as the "@include directive" (specifically: "Fixed binary files... being accidentally included in memory when using @include directives in CLAUDE.md files").

However, the documentation page at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory never uses the word "include" or the string "@include". This leaves it unclear to the user whether @include is a required keyword/directive, or if the @ symbol itself is what the changelog is referring to as the "include directive."

Suggested Improvement

The documentation should be updated to use consistent terminology. If the @ prefix is technically considered the "include directive," the documentation at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#claudemd-imports should explicitly state:

"CLAUDE.md files can import additional files using the @ include directive (e.g., @path/to/import)."

If @include is a literal string that can be used (e.g., @include path/to/file), that should also be documented.

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature

Additional Context

• Related Changelog Entry (v2.1.2): "Fixed binary files (images, PDFs, etc.) being accidentally included in memory when using @include directives in CLAUDE.md files"
• Current Documentation (Memory): https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory
• Example of Clarity: Many pre-processors ( like C or SASS) clearly define their @-rules or directives by name to avoid confusion with general pointers or paths. Explicitly naming the @ symbol as the "include directive" would align the docs with the developer terminology used in the changelog.
