When Claude Code reads one of these files, it no longer runs a setup step tied to the current session and no longer logs a shared event. It now passes along the details of the request that asked for the file, and handles the read from there.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis could change how `AGENTS.md` files are read when the file is remote or controlled by an organization.\n\n- Area: Memory\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
