Research direction

Start with the clj-nrepl-eval --discover-ports entry point and locate where the No nREPL servers found. output is produced. Update the message to mention checking the current working directory, then run the discovery command in a case with no discovered servers to verify the wording.

Description

Hi @bhauman !

I'm using a vanilla installation following the provided instructions faitfhully, over Claude Code.

I found that sometimes --discover-ports, as invoked by CC, sometimes finds nothing, despite .nrepl-port existing and referring to an active port.

Perhaps the cwd may be incorrectly set at times?

This is how it can look in CC:

⏺ Bash(clj-nrepl-eval --discover-ports)
  ⎿  No nREPL servers found.

What about this change?

-No nREPL servers found.
+No nREPL servers found. Are you running this command in the right cwd?

The extended message may nudge the models into doing the right thing - else, they can skip instructions in Skills/etc.

Thanks - V
