How to use AGENTS.md in Claude Code

AGENTS.md is a open started for setting context for AI agents (think of README for the AI agents)

A typical AGENTS.md file will be something like this 👇

And it has first class support in almost all popular AI IDEs/coding agents like Cursor, Zed, GitHub Copilot, etc

How to reference it in Claude Code?

Although it is not supported by default in Claude Code.

We can still add refer it in CLAUDE.md to guide Claude Code to refer to our AGENTS.md like this.

@AGENTS.md

By doing so we maintain a single source of truth - AGENTS.md

Reference

• Claude Code on the web - Claude Docs

Happy adding LLM-context!
