If you think I'm wrong, and these arguments have nothing to do with it, just tell us what explains Claude not supporting AGENTS.md.

Was it such a grand engineering challenge? Too many 'legacy' projects relying on both AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md and that has recently changed?

I've made clear my belief on the reason behind it - branding decisions outweighing utility.

Add something to the thread by sharing your version of a 'more likely' decision process that led to the choice to only now support it.

Don’t forget the initial context, my point was that saying Anthropic is a disgrace for not supporting AGENTS.md was an overreaction, because it’s solved with a symlink.

I don’t disagree with anything you say, I just don’t think AGENTS.md ever was a big deal, just a small annoyance

Bad take. You should feel bad.

This kind of comment doesn't belong on hacker news.

not that i agree, but this is what an anthropic engineer said about this:
