Home-Repo Pattern: Centralised Agent Steering Across Multiple Repos
The practical shift is from per-repo agent configuration to a single control plane, which means global rule changes land instantly across every project an agent touches. Teams juggling several related codebases — especially small startups without platform engineers — can adopt it by copying the article's prompt set and running the grill-me Q&A to tune it. The start-repo setup also pairs naturally with skills-based agents like Claude Code or Cursor, since both already read markdown steering files.
