  • I use cursor and claude, its kinda annoying having to have the same skills in both so I made a ~/.agents/skills folder then ln both cursor and claude skills to point to that folder.

    which works except that claude uses .skills/synced which is uses to sync changes to skills from claude servers into the skills folder.

    every other agent I have used just directly syncs into .skills so it ends up duplicating skills

  • Crazy part is: can’t tell if this intended or a bug

  • This in some way sounds like VSCode's bug of always adding Copilot as a co-author of git commit regardless of user settings.

    If people only glance over the code agents generate for them and don't bother to spend even half a minute thinking through what's actually happening, this is inevitable.

    Certainly this kind of things happened before LLMs existed. But I'm not optimistic about the direction of how things are going.

  • I don’t understand why people are confused about the use of a launch flag, for this and for anything.

    It’s a simple distributed systems problem. Separate the deployment of a new software feature (to umpteen hosts) from the triggering of that software with a lightweight switch.

    If someone think that reading AGENTS.md is always benign, because they can’t imagine how it could be a problem…users are very creative.

  • Claude Code also doesn't read AGENTS.md by default if there's a CLAUDE.md it can read instead. This isn't limited to your repo, e.g. if you have a ~/CLAUDE.md then no AGENTS.md will be read.

    To always read both, you have to switch the 'Project instructions' setting to the non-default `claude-md-and-agents-md`.

    Just in case anyone is wondering why their AGENTS.md still isn't being read.

  • Isn't that how they just release all features? So they can do progressive roll outs and telemetry on issues with it?

    Not sure if they later move the code from inside the flag check to the main code or that they keep the flag check.

    But if they would keep all features behind a flag that would not make most sense as you then would have not many features without telemetry.

  • Based on my experience with these tools so far, this seems exactly the kind of subtle but extremely severe bug that sneaks in when you start piling up layers of AI generated patches to a codebase without caring too much about the code.

  • Sorry folks, this is a rollout artifact, we needed a way to turn this off remotely via feature flags if it broke something, and with telemetry off you don't get those. It's already been fixed as part of v2.1.281 releasing today.

    The mod is source available here: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods/age...

    Apologies again folks, this was a fully human error on my part - I should've found a better way to launch with a kill-switch.
