Nice find, though I'd rather read the prompt that was used to write this article. It is about ten times longer than it needs to and is quite painful to read.

You're absolutely right! AGENTS.md shouldn't be gated behind telemetry on

Claude Code Remote control only works with telemetry enabled too.

If they can't even get this simple thing right, I am worried about the future of anthropic's products.

The number of people raw-dogging software that executes arbitrary instructions on their machine coming from a 3rd party server just absolutely baffles me.

The same people who've spent years of their career making sure that never happens.

Embarrassing for HN to have a huge thread over a Feature Flag.

I’ve long since been having a pro-forma CLAUDE.md, referring to @AGENTS.md in all of my projects. Still works fine.

can i ask claude to change these settings for me, and will it enable telemetry as implied checkpoint when i ask it to enable AGENTS.md?

Issue 95690, opened 3 days ago, 500k+ engineers, a simple CLI...

AGI was reached like 2 weeks ago, latest claude 5.x models rule supreme and software engineering is solved?

Uhm I turned off everything there is to turn off in my Pro plan, and Claude just read my agents.md with no issue? So... What telemetry am I missing? Or did they JUST update? (I updated my docker image 40 minutes ago to get Opus 5.5, am on version 2.1.280, so not the mentioned 2.1.277, so it's fixed?)
