Claude Code still doesn't support AGENTS.md
A feature request has been made to add support for AGENTS.md in Claude Code, a standardized Markdown file used by coding agents to understand codebases. Currently, Claude Code uses CLAUDE.md, which is specific to its system and less compatible with other development tools. The request highlights the need for broader interoperability with tools like Codex, Amp, and Cursor that are adopting the AGENTS.md standard.
- ▪AGENTS.md is emerging as a standardized file format for coding agents to interpret codebases.
- ▪Claude Code currently uses CLAUDE.md, which limits collaboration with developers using other tools.
- ▪The feature request was made on GitHub and has received significant community engagement.
- ▪A related pull request in the claude-code repository remains open as of the latest update.
- ▪Other projects like tweakcc have already merged support for AGENTS.md.
