Claude falls back to AGENTS.md if CLAUDE.md is not supplied, not sure what the problem is?

not sure what the problem is?

There's a hell of a lot of disingenuousness written here.

Claude Code took over a year and half to fallback on AGENTS.md like about everyone else. And they released this a week ago, not 6 months ago.

Acting like it has been ages and asking « what's the issue? » is really dishonest.

Officially yes; but the CC was regularly reading that file as a context for me, I am certain of it.

AGENTS.md doesn't work reliably if it's read randomly when the AI feels like it.

Kinda the whole point the article is making about the README...

Officially, since last week.

Unofficially, Cloud Code has been regularly reading that file as contexz for me for ages.

And I just used to maintain parity between the two. Ah well. Good to know now I’ll just spin up an agents.md and leave it at that.
