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

Claude Code's fallback to AGENTS.md when no Claude.md is present makes AI coding assistants more interoperable by adopting a shared configuration convention. This lowers friction for teams already using AGENTS.md with other tools, reducing setup duplication as multiple AI coding agents proliferate in developer workflows.

• Claude Code will use AGENTS.md as a fallback configuration file if Claude.md is absent.
• This suggests movement toward standardized, cross-tool configuration files for AI coding assistants.
• Developers can maintain a single agent config file compatible with multiple AI tools, simplifying setup.
