No universal standard for agents to share codebase context across tools (AGENTS.md gap)

Codex, Amp, Cursor, and Claude Code each use proprietary instruction files (CODEX.md, CLAUDE.md). When a team switches agents or collaborates across tools, context must be rewritten from scratch. The GitHub issue requesting AGENTS.md support on Claude Code collected 5383 reactions and 320 comments, making it one of the most-upvoted issues in the repo. Builders are blocked from multi-agent workflows where agents from different vendors need to share the same codebase understanding.

agents.md spec exists but no major agent implements it; no MCP server bridges proprietary context formats.
