> has a tendency of running "find"/"ls" on your home folder
I've seen this first-hand. I was doing some work in a repository, Claude concluded it needs to investigate, how some AWS resources are created, and it literally started scanning ~/* for Terraform code. Which it found and started browsing through.
Or, when I asked Claude to debug some Spring issue, corporate firewall blocked Maven Central, so it literally started scavenging ~/.m2 caches to find the jar it desperately needed. Then it could not find it, so it started to clone Spring sources from GitHub to build the missing jar. I stopped the clone mid-way. I wish I was joking, I only stepped away from the keyboard for one minute.
It accidentally made a compiler because of an ambiguous prompt. And yes it will find "helpful" code on other parts of the system. Which means claude most likely has a `find ~` of millions of developers home folders
