Bug Description
Claude Code seems to be limited on it's ability to index the files located in a project repo.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a moderately medium size application (express / Angular in this case) broken between two directories (ex: frontend/backend). Possible for files to be nested deep (7 directories deep)
- Scope your prompts context using the @_blob_ to drill down into specific files. The @_blob_ should find the files that match the pattern you're looking for.
Expected Behavior
Like Cline, I expected to be able to use the @_blob_ to find the files I want. However, they're not being listed even if I create directory structures as part of the ruleset.
