Still a big NAK from me for this for at least CLAUDE.md and GEMINI.md. I
don't know about the other agents, but at least these two belong in
.gitignore because they are files used for _personalized_ project
management of the agent by the developer. Both Agents will find README
automatically.

Please, just add to .gitignore:

CLAUDE.md
.claude/

etc...

This is exactly the same reason that debian/ is listed in .gitignore.
