Great. Now if they could support the `~/.agents/skills` path next like everyone else does that would be even better.

Everyone sharing the 513 ways you can already do this is entirely missing the point. Standards matter and there's very few things in the AI world everyone agrees on and this is one of them. .agents/skills is another and anthropic is still holding out there.

Great, now I have to redo my scaffold harness. I guess this agent.md awareness is part of the system prompt?

nope! they're releasing something called "Claude Code mods", toted as their "upcoming way to customize the Claude Code harness"

AGENTS.md implementation is open sourced as well: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods/age...

Genuine question: Does the Agent harness matter ? I mean why use Claude CLI ?

(As I mentioned elsewhere) I use oh-my-pi (and opencode, and toad) but use (client paid) Opus 5 with these harnesses.

All three of these understand AGENTS.md

that is an optimistic read, I still see a lot of crazy from the EA/SV elite

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"?

When Jesus' mother notices that the CLAUDE.md (Ancient Greek: Κλαύδιος ) file is missing from her favourite open source project, Jesus delivers a sign of his divinity by turning Claude's CLAUDE.md search path into AGENTS.md at her request.

Great, now please standardize the skills folder and the MCP config.
