Yep, that's a peeve of mine. I've resorted to using AGENT.md, and aliasing Claude, Gemini, etc to a command that calls them with an initial instruction to read that file. But of course they will forget after some time.
The whole agentic coding via CLI experience could be much improved by:
- Making it easy to see what command I last issued, without having to scroll up through reams of output hunting for context
- Making it easy to spin up a proper sandbox to run sessions unattended
- Etc.
Maybe for code generation, what we actually need is a code generator that is itself deterministic but uses AI, instead of AI that does code generation.
- thehamkercat 1y agoI think most of them provide an option to change the default file, but it'll be really good if they all can switch to AGENT.md by default Till then you can also use symlinks there are issues opened in some repos for this - Support "AGENT.md" spec + filename · Issue #4970 · google-gemini/gemini-cli https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/4970#issuecomment-3125482368 https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/issues/4970#issu...

- troupo 1y agoAnd then they should standardize on usage rules (an idea in Elixir space: https://hexdocs.pm/usage_rules/readme.html https://hexdocs.pm/usage_rules/readme.html )
- manmal 1y agoIn case you haven’t seen this, you can just pipe contents into Claude. Eg cat AGENT.md | claude IIRC this saves some tokens.
- adastra22 1y agoWhy would it save tokens?
- taylorfinley 1y agoprobably skips the step where you say "take a look at path/to/file" and the model converts that to a tool call
- codesnik 1y agomaybe symlinking will work
