Interesting thing I noticed with Claude Code: I use the compound-engineering plugin (https://github.com/EveryInc/compound-engineering-plugin) which documents solutions in `docs/solutions/` per repo.
During a planning session in a new repo, the agent couldn't find local learnings, so it scanned `~/Work/` for `docs/solutions/` across all my other repos and pulled relevant patterns from two different projects.
Nobody told it to do that—the prompt just said “check any other relevant learning directories.”
Emergent cross-repo knowledge sharing from a vague instruction.
