154154| Skill doesn't appear in `/skills` | Skill file is at `.claude/skills/name.md` instead of in a folder | Use a folder with `SKILL.md` inside: `.claude/skills/name/SKILL.md`. |
155155| Skill appears in `/skills` but Claude never invokes it | Skill has `disable-model-invocation: true` in its frontmatter, or its description doesn't match how you phrase the request | Check the badge in `/skills`: a "user-only" label means Claude won't trigger it on its own. See [skill invocation](/docs/en/skills). |
156156| Subdirectory `CLAUDE.md` instructions seem ignored | Subdirectory files load on demand, not at session start | To load a subdirectory's `CLAUDE.md`, ask Claude to read another file in that subdirectory. See [when subdirectory files load](/docs/en/memory#how-claude-md-files-load). |
157| Subagent ignores `CLAUDE.md` instructions | The built-in Explore and Plan agents skip `CLAUDE.md`. A custom subagent loads it the same way the main conversation does, unless its definition sets [`omitClaudeMd`](/docs/en/sub-agents#supported-frontmatter-fields) | For Explore or Plan, restate the instruction in your delegating prompt. For a subagent that sets `omitClaudeMd`, remove the field. For any other custom subagent, put critical instructions in the agent file body, which becomes the agent's system prompt. See [what loads at startup](/docs/en/sub-agents#what-loads-at-startup). |

158158| Cleanup logic never runs at session end | No `SessionEnd` hook configured | Add a `SessionEnd` hook in `settings.json`. See the [hook events list](/docs/en/hooks#hook-events). |
159159| MCP servers in `.mcp.json` never load | File is under `.claude/`, or its servers sit under a top-level `servers` key, as in VS Code's `mcp.json`, instead of `mcpServers` | Project MCP config goes at the repository root as `.mcp.json`, not inside `.claude/`, with servers under the `mcpServers` key. See [MCP configuration](/docs/en/mcp). |
160160| MCP servers added under `mcpServers` in `settings.json` never appear | `settings.json` does not read an `mcpServers` key | Define project servers in `.mcp.json` at the repository root, or run `claude mcp add --scope user` for user-scoped servers. See [MCP configuration](/docs/en/mcp). |
