So, these tools have a file they want to read in with some configuration.
That filename is hardcoded?
Fucking DOOM had a command line parameter to provide an arbitrary configuration file name!
That's completely irrespective of the fact that you need a feature flag set by remote infrastructure to change a setting of which completely local file to read.
It's weird, I feel like Claude would have tried to make this a configurable setting by default! Is that just not an option in JS land? Not a common pattern to have configuration in the first place? I don't know about that, all the JS based code editors have comprehensive configuration files.
What the hell is going on....
I absolutely detest software that needs to have a configuration for every single parameter. CLAUDE.md was a new concept they created, and having it local in a directory is a blessing. If you:
1. really REALLY care what the file name is
2. Can't put in a symlink
3. Don't want to write into that file to look at other files (which is the standard practice of the entire skills framework
4. Cannot even think to ask the model how to come up with many solutions
Then I postulate you should stick to the mobile app, computers are too complex for you.
