Description

Instead deploying ~/.claude/RTK.md and injecting @RTK.md in CLAUDE.md, and you could do the following:

  1. Deploy RTK.md as a static file installed along with RTK binary
  2. Symlink it to ~/.claude/rules/, which is loaded the same way, but without touching user's CLAUDE.md, with the benefit of auto updating it whenever RTK is updated.

Research direction

Start by locating the RTK installation flow and the code or packaging configuration that deploys ~/.claude/RTK.md and updates CLAUDE.md. Check how a static RTK.md can be installed with the binary and linked into ~/.claude/rules/. Done means the rules file is available there, updates with RTK upgrades, and the user's CLAUDE.md is left untouched.
