The idea was to have it automatically detect nested AGENTS.md
Does your tech do that?
Anyway, the joke is on me I guess, because it might not work reliably.

On many filesystems, a lot of data about a file is not attached to the content of the file, but stored in a master filename and metadata table graph tree of some sort, and the address offset within that metadata used to retrieve the contents on disk can be a duplicate of another entry, without that situation instantly leading to a filesystem driver crash. Some filesystems officially support such duplicates as well as equivalents of HTTP 3xx, some you can just do as a matter of fact and fsck would have some words about it.
Default filesystems for all Unix, Linux, WinNT, all do.
Yes. The thing is that creating a link will not do it recursively for all subdirectories. Even worse, in the subdirectories I didn't want to place a claude.md in the first place but just have agents.md.
That was the idea.... For the toplevel it works because of the @AGENTS.md and this is also the part the link would solve.
Thanks for all the great advice and explanations.
CLAUDE.md is handled by the harness, not the agent.
I phrased it wrong. It was not about "automatically detect nested AGENTS.md". The idea was that when AGENTS.md files should be treated just like CLAUDE.md files in all subdirectories, when encountered.
Anyway, with the change they announced, I can now simply delete my CLAUDE.md and everything will just work the way I wanted.
Thanks for your clarification.
What I meant is that the LLM isn’t the one that loads the agent file. It’s not trained to look for CLAUDE.md. It’s only training is to edit that file, and the harness does the magic of injecting it. So I would predict that with those instructions it rarely or only intermittently loaded AGENTS.md, but if you asked it to add a rule it would probably have put it on the right file.
