Yet every agent I use (Claude Code, Gemini and Aider) uses their own custom filename.

It would be nice if it was standardized. Right now I’m using ruler to automate generating these files for all standards as a necessary evil, but I don’t envision this problem being solved soon. Especially because these coding agents also use different styles for consuming MCP configs.

My (slightly cynical) take is that they're trying to create whatever vendor lock-in they can, so standardization feels hits a bit too close to commoditization

Jules uses AGENTS.md, which indicates that Google is on board with it as the standard. If Gemini Code Assist continues to be a thing (I'm not sure whether Jules is intended to succeed it) then presumably it will support AGENTS.md as well. In the meantime you can configure Gemini Code Assist to use an arbitrary filename.

I don't see a reference to a specific filename in Aider's documentation, can you link to it?
