Adding a Markdown file to the default project structure that will significantly improve the experience for this majority of developers seems like an obvious win, and doesn't make me feel like anyone is trying to "force LLM crap" on me.
I understand your reluctance to engage with this stuff (I held a similar position for a while) but your comment here reads as "old man yells at cloud".
If that majority is ok with spending money before achieving anything it’s on them.
It shouldn’t be the default. But if it’s only if it sees another binary that’s “fine” but I’m not a fan of a tool that looks for others. It should keep to their side.
- a CLAUDE.md file when Claude CLI is detected (disable with CLAUDE_CODE_AGENT_RULE_DISABLED env var) - a .cursor/rules/*.mdc file when Cursor is detected, which tells Cursor AI to use Bun instead of Node.js and npm
Is it by default if it only does it when you have the tools installed?
Perhaps "creates CLAUDE.md for claude-code users by default" instead.
The fear with these coding agents is that, unsupervised, one will merge a sneaky pro-AI changeset like this without a human ever signing off on it.
But this looks like run-of-the-mill bad human decision making, no singularity yet! This is fine.
