Standardization is needed for agentic coding harnesses to be able to parse the files and inject them into the context in a way that takes the least effort for the user.

This is true for MCP as well. You could just describe a bunch of command line tools in AGENTS.md and tell the LLM when and how to call them. It would simply take more effort to set up, at least for some tools.

This is where a comparison in productivity would return a meaningful result: how much does it make it easier to set up things like that.
