⛔️ Auto-save Feature Deletes .claude/ Directory Contents

Bug Description
CRITICAL BUG: Auto-save feature systematically deletes .claude/ directory contents

SEVERITY: CRITICAL - Data loss bug affecting user work

DESCRIPTION:
Claude Code's "Auto-save before task work" feature is systematically deleting entire .claude/ directory contents, causing permanent loss of user work including custom commands, hooks, and configurations.

EVIDENCE:

• Git commit c9a6774: "WIP before TASK-SIP-182: Auto-save before task work - 2025-08-08 11:03" deleted 1,594 lines
• Files deleted: ALL .claude/commands/ (10 custom command files), ALL .claude/hooks/ files
• Pattern: Multiple "Auto-save before task work" commits show repeated deletions
• User lost significant work: custom Claude commands (plan.md, backup.md, kb.md, etc.)

REPRODUCTION:

1. Create custom files in .claude/commands/ directory
2. Have .claude/ in .gitignore but files accidentally committed to git
3. Start new task work - auto-save triggers
4. Entire .claude/ directory contents get deleted

EXPECTED: Auto-save should preserve user's .claude/ configurations and commands
ACTUAL: Auto-save deletes all user work in .claude/ directory

GIT EVIDENCE:
D .claude/commands/backup.md
D .claude/commands/commit.mdD .claude/commands/kb.md
D .claude/commands/merge.md
D .claude/commands/plan.md
[...all .claude/ files deleted]

IMPACT:

• Complete loss of custom Claude commands representing hours of work
• Repeated data loss - happens on every task
• User productivity severely impacted
• Files must be manually recovered from git history

WORKAROUND: Manually restore files from git history after each deletion

REQUEST: Fix auto-save to NOT delete .claude/ directory contents, especially user-created commands and configurations.
