The CLAUDE.md (or AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md) your session quotes is the copy in the checkout the session STARTED in, not the one on the default branch — and a long-lived worktree's copy can be weeks behind, so every house rule in context may be retired. Use when: (1) you are about to write or say "CLAUDE.md says X", "the house rule is X", or "the project file is stale about X"; (2) your session runs in a worktree that was created days or weeks ago; (3) a SessionStart hook or banner mentions the…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# The Injected CLAUDE.md Is Your Worktree's Copy, Not the Default Branch's ## Problem Claude Code reads the project instruction file — `CLAUDE.md`, and the equivalent for other harnesses — from the checkout the session started in, and injects it into context at session start. In a worktree that was created three weeks ago and never merged since, that is a three-week-old file. **Nothing about it looks old.** It arrives in the same position, with the same heading, as the current file would. It has no commit stamp, no date, no "you are reading a snapshot" banner. Every rule in it reads as the house rule in force. Two properties make it worse than an ordinary stale read: 1. **The retired copy is frequently LONGER than the live one.** An instruction file accumulates correction notes — "this said X until <date>, and X was wrong" — and periodically someone rewrites it down to the rules as they now stand, deleting the archaeology. A session holding the pre-rewrite copy holds more text, more caveats and more history than the current file, so on any "which of these looks more complete?" instinct the stale one wins. …

How to install
mdr add wan-huiyan/agent-traffic-control/injected-claude-md-is-the-worktrees-copy-not-mains@sha256:9829b8fae2cd5e89The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
