The sync-ai-rules hook now writes a .claude/skills/.gitattributes file that marks generated_*/SKILL.md as linguist-generated, so GitHub collapses them by default in pull request diffs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Each generator now declares its own gitattributes_patterns via a base class property. The orchestrator collects patterns from all generators and writes a single root .gitattributes with a demarcated section, covering skills, AGENTS.md, and copilot-instructions.md.

Thanks! I had mentioned .claude/.gitattributes or .claude/skills/.gitattributes as possible output files because we shouldn't clobber the repo's existing root .gitattributes, which might contain config for unrelated stuff like LFS.
Some possible options:
- Instead of overwriting the root
.gitattributes, append our config to it if absent. This seems doable but a little fragile - Use individual
.gitattributesfiles in subdirs like.claude,.cursorand.code_review. This is less invasive but also less complete sinceAGENTS.mdisn't covered. (Do we need AGENTS.md? It seems like every popular tool prefers its own custom config location? I'm not super up to date here)
