Docs: Inconsistent description for `--continue` / `-c` flag across documentation pages**

Title: Docs: Inconsistent description for --continue / -c flag across documentation pages

Area: Documentation

Labels: documentation, bug, good first issue, inconsistency

Description

There is an inconsistency in the documentation for the claude --continue (or -c) flag across several pages. The descriptions vary in specificity, leading to ambiguity about whether the command operates globally or is specific to the current working directory.

Evidence of Inconsistency

1. CLI Reference (en/docs/claude-code/cli-reference) - Most Specific

• In the CLI flags table, --continue is described as:

> "Load the most recent conversation in the current directory"

• This is the clearest and most precise description.

1. CLI Reference (en/docs/claude-code/cli-reference) - Vague

• In the CLI commands table, claude -c is described as:

> "Continue most recent conversation"

1. Quickstart Guide (en/docs/claude-code/quickstart) - Vague

• In the Essential commands table, claude -c is described as:

> "Continue most recent conversation"

1. Common Workflows (en/docs/claude-code/common-workflows) - Vague

• In the section on resuming conversations, --continue is described as:

> "...to automatically continue the most recent conversation"

Impact

The ambiguity is whether the command resumes the most recent conversation globally (the last one the user had, regardless of location) or the one most recently initiated from the current working directory. This distinction is important for users who frequently switch between multiple projects in different directories and could lead to them unintentionally loading the wrong conversation context.

Proposed Solution

Standardize the description across all documentation to match the most specific and accurate version found in the CLI Reference flags table.

Recommended unified description: "Load the most recent conversation in the current directory."

Affected Files

The following files should be updated to use the unified description:

• en/docs/claude-code/cli-reference.txt (Update the entry in the "CLI commands" table)
• en/docs/claude-code/quickstart.txt
• en/docs/claude-code/common-workflows.txt
