Summary

This PR adds ignore patterns for AI coding assistant tools that are increasingly popular in 2025-2026:

  • .aider* - Aider AI pair programming chat history and metadata files
  • .claude/ - Claude Code working directory and session files

These files contain temporary conversation history, context, and metadata that should not be committed to version control. As AI-assisted development becomes mainstream (Claude Code, Aider, Cursor, etc.), having these patterns in the standard Node.gitignore helps developers avoid accidentally committing sensitive or temporary AI-generated content.

References

  • Aider - AI pair programming in your terminal
  • Claude Code - Anthropic's coding agent

This is a minor but timely addition to help the Node.js developer community keep their repos clean as AI tooling adoption accelerates.
