345345### When Claude Code reads AGENTS.md
from line 390
390390In these sessions Claude reads `CLAUDE.md` files only, and **Project instructions** doesn't appear in the `/config` settings panel:
391391 
392392* You're on a Claude Code version before v2.1.277
393* Your session doesn't [fetch feature flags from Anthropic](/docs/en/env-vars#features-that-need-feature-flag-fetching), for example because you use Amazon Bedrock or another third-party provider, or you disabled telemetry. The linked section has the full list
394* It's your [first session after you install or upgrade](/docs/en/env-vars#first-session-after-an-install-or-upgrade) to a version with `AGENTS.md` support. Claude reads `AGENTS.md` from your next session on
395393* You disabled the built-in `agents-md` plugin in `/plugin`
394* In some cases, it's your [first session after you upgrade](/docs/en/env-vars#first-session-after-an-install-or-upgrade) from v2.1.276 or earlier. Claude reads `AGENTS.md` from your next session on
396395 
397To give Claude your `AGENTS.md` in these sessions, [import it from a `CLAUDE.md`](#share-one-file-with-other-coding-tools).
396Before v2.1.281, some sessions, such as those on Amazon Bedrock or with telemetry disabled, read `CLAUDE.md` files only. On those versions, update Claude Code. To give Claude your `AGENTS.md` in any of these sessions, [import it from a `CLAUDE.md`](#share-one-file-with-other-coding-tools).

399398### Where AGENTS.md differs from CLAUDE.md
400399 
from line 564
565564If your repository has an `AGENTS.md` and Claude doesn't seem to know what it says, the usual cause is a `CLAUDE.md` somewhere on the project path. By default Claude reads `AGENTS.md` only when you have no `CLAUDE.md` or `CLAUDE.local.md` in your working directory or above it. Check these in order:
566565 
5675661. Look for a `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/CLAUDE.md`, or `CLAUDE.local.md` in your working directory or any directory above it, other than your `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`. If you find one, Claude reads it instead of `AGENTS.md` unless you set **Project instructions** to `claude-md-and-agents-md`.
5682. Run `claude --version` and confirm v2.1.277 or later.
5693. Check whether your session is one that [can't load `AGENTS.md`](#when-agents-md-support-is-unavailable), such as a session on a third-party provider or with telemetry disabled.
5704. Type `/config` in your session to open the settings panel and confirm **Project instructions** isn't set to `claude-md` or `managed-only`. If you don't see the setting there at all, your session is one that [can't load `AGENTS.md`](#when-agents-md-support-is-unavailable).
5672. Run `claude --version` and confirm v2.1.277 or later. Before v2.1.281, some sessions, such as those on Amazon Bedrock or with telemetry disabled, [couldn't load `AGENTS.md`](#when-agents-md-support-is-unavailable) either, so on those versions update to v2.1.281 or later.
5683. Type `/config` in your session to open the settings panel and confirm **Project instructions** isn't set to `claude-md` or `managed-only`. If you don't see the setting there at all, your session is one that [can't load `AGENTS.md`](#when-agents-md-support-is-unavailable).

572570To check whether Claude read your `AGENTS.md`, run `/memory` and look for its path in the list.

3131These have provider-specific differences:
3232 
33* **CLAUDE.md memory**: `CLAUDE.md` files load on every provider. Reading [`AGENTS.md` files](/docs/en/memory#agents-md) as project instructions also requires a session that [fetches feature flags](/docs/en/env-vars#features-that-need-feature-flag-fetching)
3433* **MCP servers**: [connectors from claude.ai](/docs/en/mcp#use-mcp-servers-from-claude-ai) load only when your claude.ai subscription is the active authentication method. [Tool search](/docs/en/mcp#configure-tool-search) is off by default when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points to a non-first-party host, and isn't supported on Google Cloud's Agent Platform models earlier than the Claude 4.5 generation or on Microsoft Foundry [deployments hosted on Azure](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/claude-in-microsoft-foundry#hosting-options)
3534* **Subagents**: the built-in [Explore subagent](/docs/en/sub-agents#built-in-subagents) caps its inherited model at Opus on the Claude API, and inherits the main conversation's model directly on any other provider, including Claude Platform on AWS
3635* **[Commands](/docs/en/commands#all-commands)**:

11A markdown file of project instructions you write for AI coding agents. If your repository has one and no [CLAUDE.md](#claude-md), Claude reads it as your project instructions without you adding a second file. You can change the **Project instructions** setting in `/config` to have Claude read both files or only `CLAUDE.md`. Reading `AGENTS.md` directly requires Claude Code v2.1.277 or later in a session that fetches feature flags; on other versions, import it from a CLAUDE.md.
