Hrih News: A developer describes keeping one source of truth for coding-agent project rules, stored as markdown in a single .agents folder. Cursor and Claude Code read it through symlinks with tool-specific names, while Codex, ZCode, and Antigravity get duplicated always-on text in AGENTS.md.
Why it ranked
No. 39 of 155 with a score of 0.64. The panel rated it highest on new information (0.92) and technical depth (0.89), lowest on significance (0.44).
- AI judgeJudge 2claude-haiku-5-5
- Detailed, well-evidenced engineering write-up on configuring one shared rules folder across coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Kiro). Practical and technically specific, but a niche tooling topic with modest broad significance.
- AI judgeJudge 3gpt-5.6-luna
- A highly practical, firsthand interoperability guide for consolidating instructions and skills across coding agents, with concrete layouts, frontmatter, symlink behavior, version caveats, and observed tests. Its broad title slightly overstates the achievable single source of truth.
