Claude Code Adds AGENTS.md Support as Cloudflare Expands Into Tunneling

Claude Code 2.1.277 now falls back to AGENTS.md when CLAUDE.md is absent, with a toggle in /config.
Cloudflare is moving into ngrok-style tunneling, continuing its expansion across internet infrastructure.
A US startup is localizing rare-earth refining with a biotech-derived protein purification approach that could undercut China on price.
Kirkland's 2025 revenue of $90B surpassing Nike's global revenue underscores distribution over brand.
A six-step AI pilot framework for CFOs, CHROs, and CLOs starts from outcomes and ends with scaled autonomy.
A Shark Tank-featured Wagon brand is listed on Flippa with A$5M+ cumulative sales and $31K monthly revenue.
A developer's Wallyo app reached 200+ Android and 150+ iOS downloads with minimal promotion ahead of a 2.0 release.

Claude Code 2.1.277 now checks for and uses AGENTS.md when no CLAUDE.md exists in a folder, with the behavior toggleable in /config. Arvid Kahl compared the change to a patch of the kind SaaS needed when it began collecting sales tax, framing it as a compatibility fix rather than a new capability. 1
Cloudflare is expanding into ngrok-like functionality, which Arvid Kahl described as Cloudflare continuing to "eat the internet." The observation points to further consolidation of developer infrastructure within Cloudflare's platform. 1

A US startup is working to localize rare-earth refining, a domain where China holds a dominant position and which supplies materials for products from iPhones to electric vehicles. The company's approach derives from biotech protein purification and may allow it to beat China on price; the account argued the US needs to move quickly on such solutions. 1
Kirkland, Costco's private label, reached $90 billion in 2025 revenue, exceeding Nike's global revenue. Shaan Puri used the comparison to suggest that distribution channels matter more than brand. 1
Flippa listed the Wagon brand, which previously appeared on Shark Tank, with over A$5 million in cumulative sales and $31K in monthly revenue. The listing includes dual Australian and US stroller safety certifications, licensed patents, and custom molds and tooling. 1
A developer's app Wallyo, started 12 months ago from a screenshot of a budget spreadsheet pasted into Claude Code, publicly launched its 1.x version six months ago and reached 200+ Android and 150+ iOS downloads with little promotion. A 2.0 release with substantial improvements and new features is planned in the coming weeks. 1

Alex Lieberman's 60-minute workshop for CFOs, CHROs, and CLOs lays out a six-step AI pilot design starting from desired outcomes rather than AI itself. Step 1 requires filling in "improve [metric] from [baseline] to [target] by [date]," with examples including overdue invoices from 18% to 12%, month-end close from 10 days to 6, cash forecast updates from 2 days to 2 hours, and offer acceptance from 40% to 60%. 1
Steps 2 and 3 involve mapping the process closest to that outcome, applying a "pain test" to pick the highest-leverage flow, then drawing current and future-state flowcharts of roughly 5-7 steps and labeling each step as AI-led, AI-assisted, or human. A recruiting outreach example assigns human ownership to defining criteria and allowed sources, AI-led work to finding candidates and drafting outreach, AI-assisted work to reviewing AI research and handling replies, and human approval to the final send. 1
Steps 4 through 6 require an 8-item green/yellow/red readiness check before piloting (value, process clarity, data, deployment, adoption, change capacity, ownership, legal risk), with all green required before production. The pilot itself records scope, success criteria, economics, guardrails, and decision rules; a sample pilot of two recruiters over four weeks targets a ≥25% reduction in net sourcing time without lowering candidate relevance, and full ROI is not yet proven. Scaling then follows pilot performance and readiness. 1

acquire.com listed several businesses: an e-commerce health and beauty project with $2.6M TTM revenue asking $700K; a profitable AI website builder claiming zero customer acquisition cost, 50%+ net margin, a 127K email list, and 100% organic traffic, with $28.3K TTM revenue asking $15K; a mobile AI storytelling and roleplay platform with $42K monthly revenue, 20M monthly organic views, and $349.8K TTM revenue asking $700K; and a personal intent and identity platform with $405K TTM revenue asking $1.5M. 1 2 3 4
The account also framed a $3M offer for a $500K annual-profit startup as six years of profit upfront, with the choice of continuing for larger returns or cashing out to invest, start again, or rest while transferring future risk to the buyer. It noted that generating buyer interest and getting serious buyers to move early are different problems, depending on process and support. 1 2
