Summary

  • Claude Code never shipped .claudeignore support: the original feature request (.claudeignore anthropics/claude-code#579) was closed pointing users at permissions.deny rules instead, and a long tail of reports confirms the file silently does nothing ([BUG] .claudeignore does not prevent Claude from reading ignored files anthropics/claude-code#36163, #16704, #46699, #56997, #65812).
  • The README's "prompt cache invalidated" troubleshooting entry told users to create a .claudeignore — a no-op that leaves the actual symptom unresolved.
  • Replaced with the supported .claude/settings.json permissions.deny equivalent, plus a one-line caveat that deny rules gate access (not just prompt-cache behavior), which conflicts with workflows that read graphify-out/ back for navigation — as suggested in the issue.

Fixes #1843.

Test plan

  • Docs-only change, no runtime behavior affected. Verified no other file in the repo references .claudeignore (grep -rl claudeignore . --include="*.md" → only this README section).

Claude Code never shipped .claudeignore support — the original feature
request (anthropics/claude-code#579) was closed pointing users at
permissions.deny rules instead, and a long tail of reports confirms
the file is silently a no-op (anthropics/claude-code#36163, #16704,
#46699, #56997, #65812). The README's prompt-cache troubleshooting
entry told users to create one, which does nothing and leaves the
cache-invalidation symptom unresolved.

Replace it with the supported .claude/settings.json deny-rule
equivalent, with a caveat that deny rules gate access (not just
caching), which conflicts with reading graphify-out/ back for
navigation.

Fixes Graphify-Labs#1843.

README troubleshooting recommends .claudeignore, which Claude Code does not support
