Clarify whether claude-progress.md is Claude-specific or a generic session-memory file #47

Description

@dauvannam1804

Description

The course promotes claude-progress.md as a key part of the harness:

  • Read at the beginning of a session
  • Update at the end of a session
  • Preserve continuity between agent runs

However, the repository also states that the course supports:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Other coding agents

The current naming may create confusion for users who are not using Claude Code.

Question

Is claude-progress.md intended to be:

  1. A Claude Code specific file, or
  2. A generic session-memory / progress-tracking file that any coding agent can use?

Suggested improvement

Consider clarifying in the docs that:

  • The file is not automatically updated by non-Claude agents.
  • Any agent (Codex, OpenHands, Antigravity, etc.) can use the same pattern if instructed through AGENTS.md or equivalent configuration.
  • Optionally rename it to something more agent-agnostic such as:
agent-progress.md
session-log.md
work-progress.md
