Claude can now read your AGENTS.md files, but the community isn't so enthused about it
Its users aren't exactly rolling out the red carpet for this change.
Anthropic has added native support for AGENTS.md files to its Claude AI agent. This change allows Claude to read configuration files that were previously not compatible. The AGENTS.md file is a mechanism for passing instructions to AI agents.
The community's response to this update has been lukewarm, according to XDA Developers. While some developers may be relieved to no longer need workarounds, others do not seem enthusiastic about the change.
Anthropic's support for AGENTS.md files was contributed by OpenAI to the Agentic AI Foundation last year, as reported by Techmeme, citing The Register.
