332332Patterns are matched against absolute file paths using glob syntax. You can configure `claudeMdExcludes` at any [settings layer](/docs/en/settings#where-settings-live): user, project, local, or managed policy. Arrays merge across layers.

334To exclude a rules file you reach through a [symlink](#share-rules-across-projects-with-symlinks), whether the file or its directory is the link, write the pattern against either path: the file's path under `.claude/rules/` or its link target. A pattern that matches either path excludes the file. Before v2.1.239, only a pattern that matched the link target excluded the file.
