The previous post in The Flock series covered what happens when agents get creative where they shouldn’t. This one covers a more fundamental problem: what happens when agents forget what they were doing, and then confidently make something up.
Every coding agent has its own context file. CLAUDE.md for Claude Code, .cursorrules for Cursor, .github/copilot-instructions.md for Copilot, GEMINI.md for Gemini CLI. If you work with more than one agent, you end up maintaining multiple files with 90% identical content. AGENTS.md is the attempt to end that.
