    Finally doing something standards-compliant instead of forcing users into a proprietary workflow.

          Why not hardlink - so it wouldn't even know?

            Because Git can track symlinks and not hard links since they look like ordinary files.

        I tried that before, it doesn’t work. Claude will not prioritize AGENTS instructions the same way it did for CLAUDE.

        ln was the only thing that worked for me
