AI-skills-bank: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

skills-bank is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from abdulsamed1/AI-skills-bank. It costs 858 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions that routes an AI coding agent to selected skill collections instead of raw cached files. The description does not explain which skills or tasks it covers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for skill selection and routing when working with a curated collection of reusable agent instructions.
Why use it?
It is intended to avoid using unfiltered cache data, but the available information does not say what practical problem it solves in a project.

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

This is abdulsamed1/AI-skills-bank's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on AI-skills-bank 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 AI-skills-bank 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

skills-bank 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Skills Bank — Agent Guardrail

DO NOT scan lib/ (2.1G, 10k SKILL.md, 122 repos). It is raw clone cache, not curated.

Canonical Discovery (3 hops, not 122)

  1. Open skills-aggregated/AGENTS.md — pick hub from 4 (business, code-quality, frontend, server-side)
  2. Open skills-aggregated/<hub>/SKILL.md — pick sub-hub (16 total, not 122)
  3. Open skills-aggregated/<hub>/<sub-hub>/routing.csv — find skill_id by description, read src_path (points to lib/.../SKILL.md) or symlink <sub-hub>/<skill_id>/SKILL.md

Opencode Native (if synced)

When synced, hubs are also available via skill tool as 4 entries (business, code-quality, frontend, server-side) — 120 tokens, not 3840. Load hub via skill, then follow routing.csv.

Anti-Patterns

  • NEVER Glob **/SKILL.md on repo root (hits lib/ → 212k tokens)
  • NEVER read lib/SKILL.md (deleted router, was 122 repos)
  • ALWAYS use skills-aggregated/ routers + src_path source-of-truth

MCP Tools: code-review-graph

This project has a knowledge graph. Start with the code-review-graph MCP tools to narrow scope, then read the source. The graph is cheaper than scanning files and gives you structural context (callers, dependents, test coverage) that file search cannot.

When to use graph tools FIRST

  • Exploring code: semantic_search_nodes_tool or query_graph_tool instead of Grep
  • Understanding impact: get_impact_radius_tool instead of manually tracing imports
  • Code review: detect_changes_tool + get_review_context_tool instead of reading entire files
  • Finding relationships: query_graph_tool with callers_of/callees_of/imports_of/tests_for
  • Architecture questions: get_architecture_overview_tool + list_communities_tool

Verify in the source

  • Narrow scope with the graph, then read the source. Do not change code from graph output alone.
  • For any non-trivial change, read the implementation and the relevant tests before concluding.
  • Verify the exact source when touching behavior, database logic, migrations, retries, fallbacks, recovery, or compatibility code.
  • When the graph and the source disagree, the source wins. The graph may be stale or may not model that relationship.
  • An empty graph result can mean "not indexed" or "not statically visible", not "does not exist".

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.
