Is Claude.md Not Following Instructions Properly?

I'm having some trouble with Claude.md. It seems like Claude ignores the rules unless I explicitly mention in the prompt that he should stick to what's inside the file. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I haven't really noticed any issues myself, but I always prompt Claude to read the document when I start a new chat. After that, I don't bring it up again, and it seems to follow the rules just fine.

Same here! Whenever I edit `CLAUDE.md` directly, Claude doesn't seem to pick up those changes. You might need to clear the context or make sure Claude reads the updates after you change the file.

I've been dealing with the same frustration for about two weeks now. I have to remind Claude every single time I want it to follow something from the file, otherwise, it just ignores it.

Exactly! I've noticed that when I start a new conversation, Claude states it reads the file, but it doesn't seem to keep that context unless it's re-prompted later.

It sounds like you're not alone! Can you share a bit of what your `Claude.md` contains and what rules Claude seems to overlook? That might help us figure this out together.
