Description:

The /status command fails to display project-specific .claude/CLAUDE.md files as part of project memory, even when they exist and are being used by Claude Code.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Create a .claude/CLAUDE.md file in a project directory
  2. Run /status command in Claude Code
  3. Observe that the project-specific CLAUDE.md file is not listed under project memory

Expected Behavior:
The /status command should list .claude/CLAUDE.md (and other project-specific Claude configuration files) as part of project memory, similar to how it shows other project context.

Actual Behavior:
The /status command only shows global Claude configuration but ignores project-specific .claude/CLAUDE.md files.

Environment:

  • Platform: Linux 6.8.0-40-generic
  • Project structure confirmed to have .claude/CLAUDE.md file
  • Git status shows .claude/settings.json as modified, confirming Claude Code is aware of the .claude/ directory

Additional Context:
Project contains multiple files in .claude/ directory:

  • .claude/CLAUDE.md
  • .claude/settings.json
  • .claude/development-context.md
  • .claude/memory.md
  • Other project-specific files

The issue appears to be with the /status command's memory detection functionality not properly scanning or reporting project-specific Claude configuration files.
