Claude Code loads CLAUDE.md automatically. It does not load AGENTS.md, so the guidance already written there is invisible to it unless a contributor happens to open the file by hand. I hit this working on #4190: the rules I needed were in AGENTS.md all along and never reached the tool.

This adds a pointer and nothing else. No guidance is copied, so there is nothing to drift.

Separate from #4197, which edits AGENTS.md itself, so the two can be taken independently or one dropped.

I have read access only, so treat this as a suggestion rather than a decision.

guidance was invisible to it unless a contributor opened the file by hand.
The pointer carries no content of its own.

I would prefer we ignore them in .gitignore. Otherwise we'll have a collection of pointers and in fact in 2026 there is only Claude Code who doesn't support AGENTS.md ( but they shared recently that they will do it ...)
