Please re-read CLAUDE.md after conversation compaction
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Aug 14, 2025 by setharnold Closed Aug 14, 2025
Hello, I find Claude Code ignores my instructions in my (succinct) CLAUDE.md file after compaction, especially after several compactions.
I searched on the Internet to see if anybody had suggestions for this, and it looks like many people want a PostCompact hook to implement this functionality. A PostCompact hook would certainly do the trick, but maybe it would be better to re-read the CLAUDE.md file unconditionally after every compaction regardless of user instructions. This seems to be a stumbling block so far.
Thanks
