[BUG] Is `CLAUDE.local.md` deprecated or not?

[startakovsky]

$ claude --version
1.0.31 (Claude Code)

Which one of these is true?

• CLAUDE.local.md is deprecated

There are 2 instances of the string deprecated on this Claude Code documentation page in reference to CLAUDE.local.md

• CLAUDE.local.md is not deprecated

Type /memory and see that it is a part of claude code.

this also got me confused

I also want CLAUDE.local.md support for:

Claude will also discover CLAUDE.md nested in subtrees under your current working directory. Instead of loading them at launch, they are only included when Claude reads files in those subtrees.

I want to have notes for large codebase that are loaded up depending if claude visits those folders.

I agree with @sfc-gh-mochen . Especially when moving to monorepo codebases having CLAUDE.local.md inside subdirs (not just project root) is important, as there is otherwise probably not a good personal customization.

CLAUDE.local.md still appears to work
