Claude Code reads AGENTS.md only when telemetry is on
Claude Code 2.1.277 added AGENTS.md support, but the loader sits behind a remote feature flag. With telemetry or nonessential traffic turned off, a local AGENTS.md is skipped without a warning. This is what I measured and the one-line CLAUDE.md I use instead.
Summary
Claude Code 2.1.277 introduces AGENTS.md support, but it only activates when telemetry is enabled. If telemetry is off, users won’t receive any notification that the local AGENTS.md is being ignored, highlighting a potential oversight in user experience.
