PR Checklist

What is the current behavior?

.gitignore ignores .claude/* wholesale (re-including only settings.json), so shared Claude Code skills, commands and agents under .claude/ cannot be committed without a forced add. Other agents' per-user state (Aider history, SpecStory transcripts) and .envrc are not ignored.

What is the new behavior?

Replaces the blanket .claude/* rule with explicit entries for the per-user files only (settings.local.json, worktrees/, CLAUDE.local.md), and adds rules for Aider history and tag cache, SpecStory transcripts, manual worktrees and agent scratch space. The existing .env / .env.* / !.env.example rules are kept as they were, with .envrc added alongside them.

Shared agent configuration stays committable and is listed in a header comment: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/settings.json, .claude/skills/, .claude/commands/, .claude/agents/, .cursor/rules/, .mcp.json and .cursor/mcp.json.

No tracked file becomes ignored by this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated repository ignore rules to exclude local AI-tool state, temporary worktrees, agent logs, and additional environment configuration files.
    • Shared AI tool configuration files can now be tracked while personal settings remain excluded.

Adds ignore rules for per-user AI coding agent files (Claude Code local settings and worktrees, Aider history, SpecStory transcripts, agent scratch space) and common secret files, while keeping shared agent configuration committable.

Ignore the Aider cache file itself.

.aider.tags.cache*/ matches directories only. A .aider.tags.cache.v4 file therefore remains unignored and can be staged and committed as per-user cache state.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
