Context files

A context file is the standing instructions you give a tool — the content of files like CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or GEMINI.md. cnfgr stores the Markdown body once and writes it to the right filename for each tool.

Anatomy of a context file

FieldMeaning
bodyThe Markdown content of the context file.
scopeWhere it applies: global, project, or nested.
  • global — applies across all your work for a tool.
  • project — applies to a specific project.
  • nested — applies to a subdirectory within a project.

Editing a context file

Open the Context tab and select or create a context file. Choose its scope and edit the Markdown body. cnfgr writes it to each connected tool’s expected filename and location (for example, CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, AGENTS.md for Codex and others), then syncs it to your devices.

Global vs project precedence

A project-scoped context file overrides a global one where the project applies, and the UI marks the global one as overridden by project. cnfgr does not auto-merge the Markdown content of the two. See Projects & identity.
