n8n community node for Amazon Bedrock AgentCore harness. Lets n8n workflow authors run config-driven AI agents on AgentCore from inside their workflows without writing infrastructure code. This file is read by AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot Workspace, Amazon Q) and by humans onboarding to the repo. Treat it as authoritative for the conventions below. - It is an n8n community node distributed on npm as @aws/n8n-nodes-agentcore. - It targets the AgentCore harness primitive (declarative spec), not AgentCore Runtime…

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md

About AGENTS.md

What is AGENTS.md?

An open format for instructions to coding agents, read by Codex, Cursor and others. Think of it as a README written for agents.

Where does it go?

At the repository root, with more specific files in subdirectories. Agents read the one closest to the file they're editing.

What should it contain?

Setup and test commands, code style, and the rules a new contributor would need to know.

Does Claude Code read it?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. A one-line CLAUDE.md that points at AGENTS.md covers both.
