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

      Trying to make a .md file proprietary by changing the name is hilarious

          Yeah but .md predates claude.md. I had agent.md files in my repo before Claude tried to act like it's a special protocol.
