Claude Code loads CLAUDE.md, not AGENTS.md, so a session opened here picked up no instructions. 19 of 20 repositories in the workspace had this gap.

Deliberately a pointer and nothing else. AGENTS.md stays the single authority, so no rule is duplicated anywhere it could drift out of step.

Claude Code loads CLAUDE.md, not AGENTS.md, so a session opened in this
repository picked up no instructions at all. This is a pointer and nothing
more: AGENTS.md stays the single authority, so there is no second copy of any
rule to drift.

Reviewed as an API client / hostile-terminal-data boundary change: this PR only adds a CLAUDE.md pointer file (9 lines, no code). It doesn't touch filters, sorts, cursors, PoC token handling, archive extraction, or terminal output rendering, so none of the review criteria apply. Referenced files (AGENTS.md, README.md, docs/user-guide.md) all exist and the content doesn't duplicate rules. No findings.

Review caught the wording: it sits in this repository's parent directory, not
beside it. The previous phrasing also contradicted README.md where that file
names the same location.

Reviewed as an API-client/security diff: this PR only adds a 10-line CLAUDE.md pointer to AGENTS.md/README/user-guide. No code, filters, cursors, rendering, PoC handling, or archive logic is touched, so none of the review's focus areas apply. No findings.

The pointer I added in #9 claimed workspace-wide rules live in the AGENTS.md in
this repository's parent directory, alongside the sibling repositories.

Nothing here supports that. Neither AGENTS.md nor README.md mentions a
workspace file, a parent directory, or sibling repositories as a rule source,
so the sentence asserted both a location and the existence of an authority on
the repository's behalf, and pointed at a directory a session scoped to this
checkout cannot list.

This package is distributed, so the sentence also described an internal
workspace layout to readers for whom the sibling repositories it named mean
nothing.

AGENTS.md is the authority and says so in its first line.
