Why

The existing .gitignore block referencing .claude/ and .CLAUDE.md named one specific AI assistant in its comment. The exclusion rules themselves are still useful (they block accidental commits of scratch state) but the comment shouldn't single out one tool.

What changed

  • .gitignore comment: "Local Claude memory (machine-specific)" → "Local AI-assistant / IDE scratch state (machine-specific, never commit)"
  • Added .cursor/, .continue/, and .aider* to the same exclusion block.

1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-).

Test plan

  • git check-ignore -v .claude/foo .CLAUDE.md .cursor/x .continue/y .aiderchat matches the new rules

The .gitignore rule still excludes .claude/ and .CLAUDE.md so an
accidental commit is still blocked, but the comment no longer names
Claude specifically. Also add .cursor/, .continue/, and .aider* to the
same block so any IDE/AI-assistant scratch state stays out of the repo
without needing another follow-up.
