Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md

    Once I asked, puckishly, Claude Code to “follow the instructions in this directory” when there was only an AGENTS.md there.

    In the manner of someone finding a dead mouse and holding it up for examination CC said it could find no instructions but perhaps it should check this AGENTS.md file.

      When I setup a global agents.md/claude.md for its communication style, I got the following response during the next session:

      > The function you added is load-bear-very important [...]

      I never felt this mocked by a computer.
