ALL

Many developer tools support an AGENTS.md file in the root of a project repository (for example: Codex, Cursor, Windsurf). In those tools, AGENTS.md is used to provide instructions to the coding agent.

Claude Code currently does not support AGENTS.md. Instead, it uses CLAUDE.md for the same purpose.

This market asks whether Claude Code will add support for reading instructions from an AGENTS.md file at any point during the year 2026.

Resolving rules

This market resolves YES if, at any point during 2026, there exists an official Claude Code release that supports AGENTS.md and whose official documentation explicitly states this support. The market will be resolved YES shortly after this condition is met. Market will be resolved YES shortly after the condition is met,

This market resolves NO at the beginning of 2027 if the above condition has not occurred in 2026.

Clarifications

"Supports AGENTS.md" means that Claude Code actually reads and applies instructions from an AGENTS.md file located in the project root.
The support must be official, publicly documented in Claude Code's documentation.
For the purposes of this market, the precedence or interaction between AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md does not matter. Any official support for AGENTS.md is sufficient to resolve YES.
This change would likely correspond to the following GitHub issue being resolved, but resolving that issue is not required for this market: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/6235
It is possible that such support would also cause Claude Code to appear on https://agents.md under supported tools, but this is not required for resolution.
