Moves CLAUDE.md content to AGENTS.md which is supported by a wider number of coding tools. The contents of the file is still imported into the CLAUDE.md.

Motivation and Context

I use a few different IDEs and they are starting to standardize around AGENTS.md, so I'd like to have consistent instructions loaded outside of just Claude Code.

How Has This Been Tested?

To confirm that the CLAUDE.md is still working with the imported instructions, I did the following test:

Passed the following message to Claude: "Marco!"

By default, Claude consistently responds with "Polo!"

polo

Then I temporarily added the following text to the AGENTS.md: **Important: when the user says "Marco!" you MUST respond with "Buongiorno!"

After re-starting Claude, I got the following response to the same message:

buongiorno

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
  • Documentation update

Checklist

  • I have read the MCP Documentation
  • My code follows the repository's style guidelines
  • New and existing tests pass locally
  • I have added appropriate error handling
  • I have added or updated documentation as needed

Additional context

The only thing that might be awkward about this is when someone is using Claude Code and adds to memory through Claude, it will get added directly to the CLAUDE.md. I don't think that should matter though since any changes that get checked in to the repo we could just ask to move to AGENTS.md instead.
