alt Hacker NewsClaude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md

Great, now I have to redo my scaffold harness. I guess this agent.md awareness is part of the system prompt?
Thank Christ
Can it read copilot.md if neither of the other files are present? Also: agents should be the standard, or we need to invoke the XKCD for "one more standard to rule them all"?
didn't it always read it?
I just wiped all agents and it’s always readme.md
So far I've been managing this with a symlink.
Same with skills, symlink to skills at .claude/skills
Great, now please standardize the skills folder and the MCP config.
About time!
Still don't understand the point of the markdown files.
Isn't it literally all just more text you're adding to the prompt. How can you even be sure it isn't just clouding context with nonsense for whatever you're asking for?
Ah yes, the peak of technology.
Finally.
Now is the time to git mv CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md.
Now do skills
A reminder that needs to be said: Don't use a closed-source harness.
Why? This is why. [0]

yay! /s
Why are people still putting up with this kind of attitude, especially when there are so many good alternatives available?
People still use Claude?
Great. Now if they could support the `~/.agents/skills` path next like everyone else does that would be even better.
