Shopify’s CEO threatened to ban Claude Code. Anthropic had already closed the feature request.

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke said he is considering banning Claude Code at Shopify unless Anthropic supports reading AGENTS.md and related files. The key issue is that AGENTS.md support is missing: Anthropic has already closed a request focused on recursive AGENTS.md discovery as “not planned.” As a result, Shopify may restrict Claude Code use until its agents can follow the same instructions across Shopify’s monorepo, reducing split-context “split brain” among developers.
