[BUG] Claude referencing claude-code

Resolved 💬 7 comments Opened Oct 2, 2025 by bfd-kr Closed Jan 7, 2026

Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

  • Claude incorrectly references the command as claude-code instead of claude
  • Claude looked in ~/.config/claude/ instead of ~/.config/claude-code/
  • This creates confusion between the package name (@anthropic-ai/claude-code), the command (claude), and the config directory (~/.config/claude-code/)

What Should Happen?

  • Package name: @anthropic-ai/claude-code (installed via npm)
  • Executable command: claude (NOT claude-code)
  • Config directory: ~/.config/claude-code/

When requesting assistance documenting how to install claude, claude documented the version check command as claude-code --version.

Additionally the run claude command was shown as

cd project/dir
claude
