In my own group, agentic coding made sharing and collaboration go out the window because Claude will happily duplicate a bunch of code in a custom framework

In my AGENTS.md I have two lines in almost every single one: - Under no condition should you use emoji's. - Before adding a new function, method or class. Scan the project code base, and attached frame works to verify that something else can not be modified to fit the needs.

I'm curious about the token usage when it scans across multiple repositories to finding similar methods. As our code grows so fast, is it sustainable ?

I think the idea is that by creating these shared .claude files, you tell the agent how to develop for everyone and set shared standards for design patterns/architecture so that each user's agents aren't doing different things or duplicating effort.
