Docs about user config directory `~/.claude` appear to contradict actual CLI app behavior
Resolved 💬 15 comments Opened Jun 18, 2025 by joshuadavidthomas Closed Aug 10, 2025
Bug Description
Claude Code seems to no longer be reading from the ~/.claude directory? All of my custom commands are gone and the CLAUDE.md file within that directory is not in the context.
Environment Info
- Platform: linux
- Terminal: ghostty
- Version: 1.0.29
- Feedback ID: fbdaa17e-c904-4efb-99c1-9b116a081980
Errors
[]
EDIT: It appears the location of the user config directory has changed from ~/.claude to ~/.config/claude in a recent update. I say appears, because there is no mention of the change either in the official docs or the CHANGELOG.
