What commenters are saying
Commenters split between those who see the lack of AGENTS.md support as a minor inconvenience solvable by symlinks or includes, and those who view it as Anthropic's intentional standard-avoidance and vendor lock-in. Some accuse Anthropic of using CLAUDE.md as free advertising, similar to "Sent from my iPhone" signatures. Others argue Claude Code's quality is declining, with users reporting it ignores basic instructions and rambles. A minority defend the decision as trivial, suggesting users who switch over this are dishonest.
Specific workarounds shared include symlinks from AGENTS.md to CLAUDE.md, using @AGENTS.md includes, and injecting custom JavaScript via BUN_OPTIONS to add AGENTS.md support. One commenter analogized the situation to Reddit and Twitter killing third-party clients as a sign of enshittification.
