So much FUD (and bot replies dogpiling on?) in that thread. It's just a file that specifies some structure for the project. Nothing super secret.

mostly it's a knock on their lack of attention to detail which was sorta jobs' thing. is the culture becoming lax in this new era
X somehow manages to get worse for this as time goes on.

Seems like at some point most of the actual humans just gave up on replying.

Why bother replying if your post gets buried under AI bots with twitter blue (or whatever it's called now) that just try to farm engagement for money. Revenue sharing is a big mistake for every platform because it incentives engagement slop. Ordering by Newest first often gives you more human replies.
It’s not super secret no. It’s just embarrassing they they don’t have instructions in their AI agents coding and pushing deployments to not push the Claude.md files. It demonstrates that they haven’t fed their AI prompts through AI yet cause it would hav added a clause for that.
Have you never used Claude? It regularly ignores directives, no matter how they're worded or how many times they're repeated. It's also hierarchal. Org-wide rules would be in a higher-level directory than repo rules or component rules. This is obviously just a tiny snippet of prompts.
