- It took the Shopify CEO tweet and Astra causing a large move towards Codex for them to finally give in. It's hard to believe it was worth it in the end. On the other hand, most people will forget about this saga in a few months, so sadly it may just have been worth it.by deaux
- Not going to use Twitter without Nitter, so I'll just assume that's good news.
Maybe I can finally delete that useless symlink to the actual AGENTS.md.
by grim_io - From their changelog:
2.1.277
September 18, 2026
Added AGENTS.md support: in a project with no CLAUDE.md, Claude Code reads AGENTS.md instead; change it under “Project instructions” in /config (not yet on Bedrock, Vertex or Foundry)
Note that this *does not include .agents/skills*. Argh.
