- .codeium/instructions.md (Codeium)
- .continue/context.md (Continue)
- .windsurfrules (Windsurf)
- .aider.conf.yml (Aider)

This doesn't work for aider, probably because the .md it links to is not
YAML. When I start aider with this, I get:

aider: error: Couldn't parse config file: while scanning a simple key
in "/work/kernel/linux/.aider.conf.yml", line 3, column 1
could not find expected ':'
in "/work/kernel/linux/.aider.conf.yml", line 4, column 1

Thanks! I'll drop aider.
