Dynam.AI Breaking News: Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke has publicly stated that if Claude Code continues to refuse to read AGENTS.md and .agents/skills, he is considering disabling Claude Code internally at Shopify.

Tobi pointed out that as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI programming tools are being used concurrently by enterprise teams, more and more Coding Agents are beginning to support project specifications, testing processes, and Agent commands through a unified AGENTS.md. However, Claude Code currently relies mainly on CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills, which may result in different Agents reading different rules from the same code repository, leading to a phenomenon known as "split brain."

He believes that for individual developers, maintaining multiple sets of configuration files has a limited impact. However, for enterprises like Shopify with a large number of engineers, multiple Agent contexts need continuous synchronization. Any divergence could lead to Agent behavior deviating from team standards.

On the surface, this dispute is about the format of configuration files, but behind it lies the question of whether, after AI Coding Agents enter the enterprise, project specifications, Skills, and Context should adhere to vendor-specific standards or form a cross-Agent common standard.
