Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is 0xFieldsy/node-mcp-template's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on node-mcp-template 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 node-mcp-template configures →

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

node-mcp-template AGENTS.md 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 2mo 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.

Use StandardJS style:

printWidth: 100
tabWidth: 2
useTabs: false
semi: false
singleQuote: true
quoteProps: as-needed
trailingComma: none
bracketSpacing: true
objectWrap: preserve
arrowParens: always

TypeScript

Use npm run check to check for TypeScript errors. Use tsgo not tsc otherwise.

Local relative imports between TypeScript source files must include the .ts extension, e.g. ./lib/tools.ts.

Linting

Use npm run lint:fix to automatically fix errors with Biome.

Testing

Use npm run test to run tests with node --test. Write tests in ./test/*.test.ts using node:test and node:assert/strict.

Building

Use npm run build to strip types and bundle with Rolldown.

Notes

Search ./notes/*.md as a reference for building production servers using best practices.

Changes

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.
