Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke is considering disabling Claude Code because it does not support reading common AI project documentation files such as AGENTS.md and .agents/skills, instead insisting on using its own system of CLAUDE.md and .claude/skills. This leads to developers using different AI programming tools following different project rules within the same code repository, creating additional maintenance complexity in large monolithic repositories like Shopify's. The developer community has proposed temporary solutions such as soft links and file references, but Lütke believes these approaches are unsuitable for large-scale scenarios. Anthropic team members responded that they are working on improving the flexibility of Claude Code, and in the short term, developers can still address the issue by referencing other files in CLAUDE.md.
