Finally doing something standards-compliant instead of forcing users into a proprietary workflow.
Standards? In LLM harnesses? I wish
Trying to make a .md file proprietary by changing the name is hilarious
I'm honestly not sure if this is tongue in cheek and the "finally" is in the silly way it is often used, but the claude.md variant existed first. Indeed, the agents.md thing was pretty clearly a "that's neat, let's do that with a different name".
fwiw, i am with thariq https://x.com/trq212/status/2092302273099796842 in that prompts should be tuned for models and in fact blindly applying agents.md is probably an antipattern unless you want all models to basically converge to some common ill defined of instruction following - good local minima, bad global minima for model diversity and exploration of intelligence.
aka, sometimes it really is too early to force a standard
