    I agree with the premise here, and is on par with what I experienced in AI-assisted development. This is the same idea baked in <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;marvs&#x2F;kantan-dev" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;marvs&#x2F;kantan-dev, which is that artifacts should be kept within the repo so that future development has built-in context discovery.

    Organizing the markdown files by feature&#x2F;issue&#x2F;change makes it easier for the LLM to search for the appropriate documentation. Coupled with well-broken down Claude rules files, and Claude Code (or other harnesses) get better as you make more changes.
