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
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| body | The Markdown content of the context file. |
scope | Where 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.
