Anthropic has added explicit AGENTS.md support to Claude Code in version 2.1.277: if a folder lacks a CLAUDE.md file, Claude will now look for and use AGENTS.md as the project instruction file. That fallback behavior is enabled by default but can be toggled in /config, so teams can opt in or out per environment. The change is a narrow but practical update that affects how Claude discovers and applies project-level agent instructions during code-focused sessions.
The AGENTS.md capability is implemented as a built-in Claude Code mod and is part of a broader Claude Code mods system that will let developers create custom project instruction behaviors. Anthropic published the mod’s source on GitHub and pitched this as the first of many customizable harnesses for managing agent behavior across projects. The announcement drew mixed reactions from the community, including some criticism that this is basic or overdue functionality, but it concretely establishes a standard file name and an extensibility path for team-specific agent configurations.
