CLAUDE.md currently says:
Claude Code doesn't follow that on its own, so a session starts with just this line unless Claude decides to open AGENTS.md. Newer versions of Claude Code read AGENTS.md by themselves, but only when there's no CLAUDE.md, so this file also stops that.
Writing the reference as
@AGENTS.mdmakes Claude Code import the file at session start on every version. It's the fix the Claude Code docs give for this setup: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/memory#remove-an-earlier-agents-md-workaroundThe rest of the wording is unchanged.
I noticed this while going through the agent files in popular repos (data: https://github.com/GDM-Digital-Media-Group/claude-md-study).
