Claude Code includes a built-in plugin called agents-md that, when active, loads a project's AGENTS.md file and uses it as instructions (the same role CLAUDE.md normally plays). The internal check that decides whether this plugin is available has been simplified: it used to test an extra condition before checking anything else, and now it just checks the remote flag tengu_agents_md_mod, falling back to the plugin's own default-on setting if that flag isn't present.
This is an internal cleanup to how the plugin decides whether it can turn on, not a change to what the plugin does once it's active.
Simplifying this check makes the plugin's availability easier to reason about and reduces the chance of an outdated precondition blocking it unnecessarily. Whether it actually turns on for a given account still depends on the tengu_agents_md_mod flag, which is controlled server-side.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
