CLAUDE.md, Anthropic is too exclusive and next level to use a standard idiomatic pattern like AGENTS.md


echo “read @AGENTS.md” > CLAUDE.md


When I still used Claude outside of work, my CLAUDE.md was just a symlink to my AGENTS.md.


Just use a symbolic link


I noticed you were linking a file vs creating a correct CLAUDE.md implementation. Would you like me to fix that for you?


Problem with that is that if the agent starts to browse the contents of the repo, it may read both AGENTS and CLAUDE.md.


Yep that should work 100% of the time.


Just @AGENTS.md should be enough, as @s is CLAUDE.md are inlined (and !`ls` are executed)
