[BUG] /memory menu always says "0 memories in ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md"

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

  1. Add something to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md
  2. Run claude
  3. Enter /memory
  4. 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!
