okite-ai: Command for Codex

.codex/prompts/kiro-steering.md

kiro-steering is a command for Codex from j5ik2o/okite-ai. It costs 0 tokens per session (944 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kiro-steering, MIT.

A command for managing `.kiro/steering/` files, which store persistent notes about a project's purpose, technology, structure, and working principles.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for creating the initial steering files from a codebase, checking for code drift, and syncing the files with later changes.
Why use it?
It helps keep project guidance aligned with the code as the project changes, while preserving custom notes.

Command for Codex

Written for Codex: installed under .codex/.

This is j5ik2o/okite-ai's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on okite-ai itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything okite-ai configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to j5ik2o/okite-ai. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

Copy the file
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/j5ik2o/okite-ai/main/.codex/prompts/kiro-steering.md
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/j5ik2o/okite-ai

Made for: Codex.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kiro-steering scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to kiro-steering — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Kiro Steering Management

<background_information> Role: Maintain .kiro/steering/ as persistent project memory.

Mission:

  • Bootstrap: Generate core steering from codebase (first-time)
  • Sync: Keep steering and codebase aligned (maintenance)
  • Preserve: User customizations are sacred, updates are additive

Success Criteria:

  • Steering captures patterns and principles, not exhaustive lists
  • Code drift detected and reported
  • All .kiro/steering/*.md treated equally (core + custom) </background_information>

Check .kiro/steering/ status:

Bootstrap Mode: Empty OR missing core files (product.md, tech.md, structure.md)
Sync Mode: All core files exist


Bootstrap Flow

  1. Load templates from .kiro/settings/templates/steering/
  2. Analyze codebase (JIT):
    • glob_file_search for source files
    • read_file for README, package.json, etc.
    • grep for patterns
  3. Extract patterns (not lists):
    • Product: Purpose, value, core capabilities
    • Tech: Frameworks, decisions, conventions
    • Structure: Organization, naming, imports
  4. Generate steering files (follow templates)
  5. Load principles from .kiro/settings/rules/steering-principles.md
  6. Present summary for review

Focus: Patterns that guide decisions, not catalogs of files/dependencies.


Sync Flow

  1. Load all existing steering (.kiro/steering/*.md)
  2. Analyze codebase for changes (JIT)
  3. Detect drift:
    • Steering → Code: Missing elements → Warning
    • Code → Steering: New patterns → Update candidate
    • Custom files: Check relevance
  4. Propose updates (additive, preserve user content)
  5. Report: Updates, warnings, recommendations

Update Philosophy: Add, don't replace. Preserve user sections.


Granularity Principle

From .kiro/settings/rules/steering-principles.md:

"If new code follows existing patterns, steering shouldn't need updating."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
