claude doesn't read them reliably and has to be reminded across sessions. I ususally do @AGENT.main and @AGENT.knowledge and it figures out the rest. Over the period of doing this claude is able to maintain the "project management" part itself, as in terms of "whats the current state of the project" and "what are the next ideal todos and how to go about them".

claude does update them at the end of the session (i say wrap up on prompt). the ones you are seeing in that gist are original forms, they evolve with each commit.
