[BUG] /memory menu always says "0 memories in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md"
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened May 4, 2025 by snarfed Closed Jan 3, 2026
Environment
- Claude CLI version: 0.2.100 (Claude Code)
- Operating System: macOS 15.4.1
- Terminal: Terminal App
Bug Description
I have a non-empty ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md file, and I think Claude Code is loading it; it prints _✔ Loaded user memory • /memory_ as part of its startup prompt. If I remove that file, it doesn't print that line during startup.
However, when I enter /memory and go down to _3. User memory Saved in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md_, it always says _0 memories in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md_. I can't tell if it's not loading that file after all, or the menu's output is just wrong.
Steps to Reproduce
- Add something to
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md - Run
claude - Enter
/memory - Arrow down to menu item 3
Expected Behavior
The prompt shows a non-zero number of memories
Actual Behavior
The prompt shows _0 memories_
Claude Code is great otherwise. Thank you for building and maintaining it!
