…NFIG_DIR Move Claude Code global instructions from home.file (which hardcodes ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) to xdg.configFile so they land at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/claude/CLAUDE.md, consistent with the CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR env var exported in zsh.nix. Also bumps stylix flake input to latest revision.

Claude Code's memory-file loader hardcodes ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and does not honor CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (per https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory.md). PR #20 moved CLAUDE.md to the XDG location alone, which silently broke auto-loading — Claude Code launched blind to the user's directives until told to read the file explicitly. Deploy the same source to both paths: XDG remains the canonical location, and ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md becomes a forwarding pointer the loader can find. Comments in common.nix flag this as a workaround pending an upstream fix that teaches the loader to follow CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR.

Summary
CLAUDE.md) fromhome.filetoxdg.configFileso it is deployed to$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/claude/CLAUDE.mdinstead of the hardcoded~/.claude/CLAUDE.md.CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIRenv var exported inzsh.nix, which points to$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/claude.stylixflake input to the latest upstream revision (a2538cd).Why
The previous
home.fileapproach ignored theCLAUDE_CONFIG_DIRenv var and always wrote to~/.claude/CLAUDE.md. By switching toxdg.configFile, the file lands where Claude Code actually looks for it whenCLAUDE_CONFIG_DIRis set.Reviewer notes
home.filethat mentioned Claude has been removed since it no longer applies.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
