I have to admit I don't actually use those yet - I've been enjoying learning how to succinctly prompt in a way that gets the right results without them.

I've experimented with having LLMs write snippets for them - things like "Based on this session, update AGENTS.md with notes about running the tests" - but my stuff tends to be simple enough that I can just say "Run tests with pytest" and it will know what to do.

I did just confirm that you can use efficiently both AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md in the same repo by having a CLAUDE.md with a single line:

  @AGENTS.md

This is covered in the Claude Code docs here: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/claude-code-on-t...

My issue with that is that I don't really have any Python tooling installed globally (old trauma with overlapping package versions), each project is in an uv venv.

So every time an LLM starts firing blind they'll go python -> python3 -> damnit -> uv run python, wasting precious tokens.

That's why I have explicit instructions on how to use uv to manage things in AGENTS.md
