This is what I do. Works fine.

I’ll also include entries in the .github dir in project repos doing same thing in case anyone working on it happens to use GitHub copilot via vscode will also pick up on the AGENTS.md as well as any skills I might have cooked up for the repo.

(Though it’s mostly because I don’t trust team members to read the docs and the skills I made are meant to guide following standards for the project - and this approach almost incepts the standards for anyone not paying attention)

That works perfectly, as does adding '@AGENTS.md' to your CLAUDE.md.

Both techniques have worked (and been officially documented by Anthropic) for as long as I can remember.

Works fine for me too. I use this for GEMINI.md as well.
