Agentic Coder Configs Are the New Config Drift
· 8 min read
AI coding agents are becoming part of the development environment. That means their setup is becoming part of the development environment too.
At first, that setup looks small: a CLAUDE.md here, an AGENTS.md there, maybe a few MCP servers, a review checklist, and one shared skill. Then the second repo needs the same thing. Then the monorepo needs a baseline, the web app needs extra frontend rules, the service needs migration safety rules, and the internal tools package needs a different set of allowed commands.
That is how agentic coder setup turns into config drift.
