Developer shares method for syncing AI agent instruction files

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A developer has shared a method for synchronizing instruction files across multiple AI agents, including Claude Code and Codex. The challenge arises when the same principles are duplicated or spread across different files like AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md. The proposed solution involves designating AGENTS.md as a single source of truth for shared principles, with agent-specific instructions referenced or included via specific syntax, such as '@AGENTS.md' in CLAUDE.md.
