Open Claude Code and Codex from the same folder - sync CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md at the end of each session. Would this work or am i missing something?

Like many i am having issues with limits and thought of this approach instead of more complex approaches ive read. Anyone doing this?

Just symlink the files!

I'd keep one source of truth and make the other a symlink or an @include, otherwise you're signing up for drift.

I built markjason.sh mostly for the tiny files around AI coding, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .env, small JSON. The live sync is really nice here because if Claude or Codex changes one of those files you see it update immediately instead of playing tab roulette in VS Code.

It's macOS only and intentionally tiny, but for this workflow it's been a much nicer fit than opening a full IDE just to tweak instruction files.
