What's Wrong?

I use AGENTS.md instead of CLAUDE.md on my project.

I wanted claude to make a simple CLAUDE.md which just references AGENTS.md.

When it did, it didn't use the correct @ method described in: https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory#claude-md-imports

What Should Happen?

Claude should import/references files correctly when it's writing CLAUDE.md files itself.

Steps to Reproduce

Ask claude to reference a file in CLAUDE.md, it doesn't know about the @ prefix to use as described in https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/memory#claude-md-imports
