On: Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md

[ryandrake]

Had a silly exchange with Codex: I had an AGENTS.md file in a directory that was a symlink to an already-created CLAUDE.md. On my first prompt to Codex, it decided to point to me that my AGENTS.md specifically calls out directions to Claude, and that it would generously re-interpret them as directions to itself, and that maybe I should fix my AGENTS.md to reference the correct agent.

Very sassy, Codex!

That’s pretty funny.

Also: did it suggest instructions for the “correct” agent, or an ambiguous agent?

One has marketing implications, the other one is generally decent advice.
