What's Wrong?

When typing @.claude/ to reference files in the project-local .claude/ directory, the autocomplete shows only the global ~/.claude/ directory instead of the project-local one.

Two separate issues observed:

1. CLI: Autocomplete shows global ~/.claude/ (e.g., /Users/username/.claude/, /Users/username/.claude/skills/) instead of the project-local .claude/ directory
2. VSCode Extension: No autocomplete suggestions appear at all when typing @.claude/

What Should Happen?

When typing @.claude/ in a project that contains a .claude/ directory:

• The project-local .claude/ directory should appear in autocomplete suggestions (with higher priority)
• Or both global and local .claude/ directories should be shown, clearly distinguished

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a project with a local .claude/ directory (e.g., containing plans/, CLAUDE.md, etc.)
2. Have a global ~/.claude/ directory with different content (e.g., skills/, commands/)
3. Open the project in Claude Code CLI or VSCode extension
4. Type @.claude/ to trigger autocomplete

Expected: Project-local .claude/ directory appears in suggestions
Actual (CLI): Only global ~/.claude/ appears in suggestions
Actual (VSCode): No suggestions appear at all

Environment

• Claude Code CLI version: 2.1.22
• VSCode: 1.108.2 (arm64)
• VSCode Claude Code Extension: 2.1.22
• OS: macOS Darwin 25.2.0
• Shell: zsh

Related Issues

• #1818 - Original feature request for .claude directory autocomplete (closed as fixed in v1.0.64)
• #21526 - Commands from .claude/commands/ not appearing in autocomplete
• #20087 - Agents in .claude/agents/ not appearing in @agent autocomplete

Additional Context

Other directories (non-dotfile directories) autocomplete correctly. The issue is specific to the .claude/ directory where it prioritizes or only shows the global directory over the project-local one.
