CLAUDE.md @import of a path that contains a space silently loads nothing
Instructions in the imported file are ignored with no warning
Verified 2026-10-15 · Confirmed by 0 builders · Trust 50/100
Cause
An @path import ends at the first space, even on a line of its own, and a path wrapped in quotes is not imported at all.
Fix
Put a backslash before each space in the path, or rename the folder. Imports inside backticks or code blocks are skipped on purpose.
Apply
