Shopify CEO threatens to ban ClaudeCode over AGENTS.md support
新智元 · wechat · 2026-08-26
Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke publicly threatened to ban ClaudeCode unless it supports the universal AGENTS.md and .agents/skills standard. Currently, ClaudeCode uses its own CLAUDE.md ecosystem, causing "split-brain" issues when multiple agents are used simultaneously—different tools read different rules, leading to inconsistent execution.
- Core Dispute: OpenAI's AGENTS.md is supported by 60k projects and tools like Codex and Cursor, but ClaudeCode lacks native support, requiring manual references.
- Anthropic Response: The team stated they are improving to support AGENTS.md but argued that different model families require specific system prompts for optimal performance.
- Shopify's Stance: Emphasizes that agent frameworks outlast models, asserting that enterprise rules should not be locked to a single vendor.
