Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is 0xranx/OpenContext's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on OpenContext 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 OpenContext configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/zhuxiaoran/.opencontext/agents/AGENTS.md.

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

OpenContext 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 1mo 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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

  • bin/ contains the CLI entry point (oc).
  • src/core/ holds the Node.js core logic; src/mcp/ hosts the MCP server.
  • src/ui/ contains the Vite + React UI, with tests in src/ui/tests/.
  • src-tauri/ and crates/ are the Rust/Tauri desktop and native core layers.
  • tests/ includes Node tests by area (core/, search/, native/, integration/).
  • dist/ is build output; docs/ and README*.md are documentation.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

  • npm install installs dependencies.
  • npm run ui:dev starts the Vite UI dev server; npm run ui:build builds UI assets.
  • npm run tauri:dev runs the desktop app; npm run tauri:build builds production binaries.
  • npm run mcp starts the MCP server; npm run api:dev runs the local API server.
  • npm run test runs core/search/native Node tests; npm run test:all adds integration + Rust tests.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

  • Use 2-space indentation for JS/JSON; follow existing formatting in Rust (cargo fmt).
  • React components are PascalCase (e.g., SearchModal.jsx); modules/files are kebab or camel case as existing.
  • Git hooks run cargo fmt --check via scripts/pre-commit (installed by npm run prepare).

Testing Guidelines

  • Node tests use node --test and live in tests/** or src/ui/tests/.
  • Rust tests live under crates/opencontext-core and run with cargo test.
  • Name tests *.test.js or *.test.cjs and keep fixtures near the test if needed.

Commit & Pull Request Guidelines

  • Commit messages follow Conventional Commits (e.g., feat: ..., fix: ..., chore: ...).
  • PRs should include a concise description, testing notes (commands run), and UI screenshots/GIFs when UI changes occur.

Configuration Tips

  • Desktop builds require Tauri; Windows builds must run on Windows or via CI (npm run tauri:build:win).
  • Optional native modules live in crates/ and may require Rust toolchains to build.

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.
