Why don't people just simply use the combination of

    - copilot-instructions.md / CLAUDE.md
    - the Project's Readme.md
    - Chat history feature (e.g in VS Code)
it works perfectly well for me to continue where I left off for any project I'm working on.

how do you update those files?
I always add instructions INSIDE of both `Readme.md` and `*-instructions.md` to "update this file if anything major changed".

Additionally, after implementing a feature, I tell it to summarize the major decisions in either / both of those files.
