Petition: Claude Code should support AGENTS.md (www.openpetition.org)

A petition has been launched urging Anthropic to update Claude Code to recognize AGENTS.md as a valid configuration file for agent instructions. Currently, Claude Code enforces the use of its proprietary CLAUDE.md format, which limits interoperability and creates vendor lock-in. The petition advocates for the inclusion of AGENTS.md alongside CLAUDE.md, enabling users to utilize a standardized instruction file across various AI agents and tools, streamlining integration and reducing redundancy. This move is significant for the AI/ML community as AGENTS.md has emerged as a widely accepted standard for defining agent behavior, supported by many major tools in the industry. Anthropic's current stance contradicts its commitment to fostering competition and innovation within the ecosystem, as it champions its own standards while neglecting to support community-driven solutions. By adopting AGENTS.md, Anthropic could further promote interoperability and contribute to a more collaborative AI landscape, ultimately benefiting users and developers alike.
