● This is a Claude Code CLI internal error with file path resolution on Windows. The
error shows it's trying to resolve a malformed file path with _claude_fs_right:
prefix.

● Update Todos
⎿ ☒ Diagnose Claude Code CLI file path resolution error
☐ Provide workaround solutions for CLAUDE.md write error

● Solutions to fix the CLAUDE.md write error:

  1. Use forward slashes instead of backslashes:

cd E:/WorkSpace/AffiliateMarketing/AutoOffers

  1. Use relative path:

cd AutoOffers

  1. Use Bash tool instead of Write tool:

echo "content" > CLAUDE.md

  1. Update Claude Code CLI:

npm update -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

The error is a Windows path resolution bug in Claude Code CLI. Try using forward
slashes or relative paths when working with files.

☒ Provide workaround solutions for CLAUDE.md write error

how to modify this error in which file.

● Update Todos
⎿ ☐ Locate Claude Code CLI installation and source files
☐ Identify the specific file causing the path resolution error

● Based on the error stack trace, the issue is in the Claude Code CLI installation
file:

File location:
C:/Users/willwa/AppData/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js

Error location: Line 1248, character 14641 in the Kc2 function

However, you cannot modify this file directly because:

  1. It's a compiled/minified JavaScript file
  2. It's part of the npm package installation
  3. Changes would be overwritten on updates

Better solutions:

  1. Report the bug: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues
  2. Use workarounds: Use Bash tool instead of Write tool for file operations
  3. Wait for fix: Update Claude Code CLI when patch is released

The error is in Claude Code's internal file system provider, not your code.

☒ Identify the specific file causing the path resolution error
