CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules: Why Your Agent Config Drifts in a Week
Gr3yw0lff · reddit · 2026-09-16
A cofounder of an agent-memory tool names two real pain points with CLAUDE.md-style files: they're per-client (Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md, Codex reads AGENTS.md, Cursor reads .cursorrules) so conventions drift within a week and you become the sync layer; and they're history-less — overwriting a line erases why a decision was made. Their fix: a versioned memory corpus exposed over MCP so every client reads the same context, with honest limits (manual MCP config, desktop-only, team of 4, 300+ users). He's asking how others handle it — anyone generating all rule files from one source?
