Claude Code's CLAUDE.local.md is the correct home for machine-specific, uncommitted project context — it sits alongside a committed CLAUDE.md without interfering with it. This change updates the claude agent target to write there instead, and adds a one-time migration that strips any existing Agent Tools marker block from CLAUDE.md on the next enable or regenerate. Fixes 10up#77

Summary
CLAUDE.local.mdinstead ofCLAUDE.md.gitignoreentry fromCLAUDE.mdtoCLAUDE.local.mdmigrateClaude) that removes any existing Agent Tools marker block fromCLAUDE.mdon the next enable or regenerate — leaving the rest of the file intactWhy
CLAUDE.local.mdis Claude Code's native file for machine-specific, uncommitted project context. It loads automatically alongsideCLAUDE.mdwithout interfering with it. Writing toCLAUDE.mdcauses friction for teams that have a committedCLAUDE.mdwith shared project instructions — either the add-on appends to it (requiring a gitignored workaround) or users reach forgit update-index --skip-worktree.Test plan
