AI coding agents can't understand codebases consistently across different tools

Developers using multiple AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, Codex, Amp) face friction because each tool requires different documentation formats to understand a codebase. Teams collaborating with developers using different AI tools can't standardize on a single codebase documentation format, forcing them to maintain multiple documentation files or lose agent effectiveness when switching tools.

Feature Request: Support AGENTS.md.

Codex, Amp, Cursor, and others are starting to standardize around AGENTS.md (https://agents.md/) — a unified Markdown file that coding agents can use to understand a codebase. By contrast, CLAUDE.md feels too specific to Claude Code. It doesn’t work as well when collaborating with other developers ...
