Just make a symlink of CLAUDE.md -> AGENTS.md

I have seen quite a few open source projects do this. It works quite well.

Another alternative is to create CLAUDE.md with the exact contents: "@AGENTS.md"

We all know it's easy... so why don't Anthropic do it. Seems rather petty insisting their users put advertising in their repo or someone else's repo.

Big projects should have a lot of nested AGENTS.md files, it's inconvenient and they simply need to add support for the universal standard as everyone else has done rather than being a weird holdout like IE6.
