I have thought of this issue quite a few times. I use Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc. for all my new projects. Each of the typical CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md file exists. I do not use MCPs. I ask agents to use `gh` command, all my work happens around Git/GitHub.

But text is just that, while scripts are easier to rely on. I can prompt and document all mechanisms to, say, check code format. But once I add something, say a pre-commit hook, it becomes reliable.

I am looking for a human readable (maybe renderable) way to codify patterns.
