What are you putting in the file? When I’ve looked at them they just looked like a second readme file without the promotional material in a typical GitHub readme.

That's basically all it is. It's a readme file that is guaranteed to be read. So the agent doesn't spend 10 minutes trying to re-configure the toolchain because the first command it guessed didn't work.

    If the notes are meant for new developers, wouldn't those notes go into the actual readme.md file?

  • Seems like that is knowledge a human would want too, and you are dumping it in the agents file for lack of a clearer place to put it.
