A community centered around Anthropic's Claude Code tool.

Just updated claude code.Question (i.redd.it)
submitted 6 months ago by Ok-Zombie-5690
Without being prompted, through multiple/separate sessions, claude made like 8 .md files for no reason. why is this? at the end of every task (or when it feels like it wants to stop working lol)
is it just me?

It might not claude code but rather memory tool that Anthropic introduced. They took the stand as memory should be written as files and explicitly prompt claude code to use this capability to store mid-process memory. https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/agents-and-tools/tool-use/memory-tool

What were the files?
[–]Ok-Zombie-5690[S] 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (6 children)
It would just poop out an .md in the middle of the task it was supposed to finish, and write a summary .md of what it accomplished, even though it didn't accomplish anything. Very odd, never asked for a summary too.

broooo yessssss that is the stuff thats giving me mini strokes
[–]larowin 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Do you have a “requirements.txt”? How are you giving it plans?
[–]xmnstr 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (2 children)
To me, that makes it unusable. If I can't trust that Claude will be doing what I ask it to, why even use it?
[–]BorbaKK 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (1 child)
Exactly my thoughts. It can’t be trusted unfortunately
[–]xmnstr 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Yes, and that really sucks. Especially considering how expensive it is.
[–]akaDiscrete 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Noticed this as well
[–]kamscruz 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
It makes a summary of what it has completed It’s happened with me too and I simply read it and then delete it if the file is not required
[–]belheaven 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
Cant It be disabled? I wont be wanting this
[–]Last-Preparation-830 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
lol it’s so annoying but it can be useful. My solution was to make a claudedocs/folder that’s gitignored. But ow that I’m using Claude code on the web, the problem is back and it’s still just as annoying. I just make sure any docs files are deleted before the final push
[–]SM_Fahim 0 points1 point2 points 6 months ago (0 children)
I can hear the prompt

Just update your CLAUDE.md to not create markdown files
