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

This is accessd/tmux-agent-indicator's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on tmux-agent-indicator 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 tmux-agent-indicator 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

tmux-agent-indicator 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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

This repository is a tmux plugin written in Bash.

  • agent-indicator.tmux: plugin entrypoint; injects #{agent_indicator} and registers focus/window hooks.
  • scripts/agent-state.sh: state machine for running, needs-input, done, off; applies/restores pane, border, and window-title styles.
  • scripts/pane-focus-in.sh: clears deferred done styling when pane/window focus changes.
  • scripts/indicator.sh: status segment renderer (icons + process/state detection).
  • hooks/: Claude and Codex hook templates.
  • docs/: product notes and testing docs (docs/PRD.md, docs/TESTING.md, assets).

Keep runtime logic in scripts/; keep agent-indicator.tmux focused on bootstrap/hook wiring.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

No build step is required.

  • bash -n agent-indicator.tmux scripts/*.sh install.sh setup.sh: syntax check.
  • shellcheck agent-indicator.tmux scripts/*.sh install.sh setup.sh: lint (if installed).
  • tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf: reload tmux config.
  • ./install.sh --target-dir ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-agent-indicator: local install/update.

For behavior verification, use the step-by-step playbooks in docs/TESTING.md.

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

  • Bash with #!/usr/bin/env bash and set -euo pipefail.
  • Indentation: 4 spaces, no tabs.
  • Script names: lowercase kebab-case (for example agent-state.sh).
  • Variables: uppercase for exported/config keys (TMUX_AGENT_*), lowercase for locals.
  • Always quote expansions ("$var"), and keep tmux failures non-fatal where recovery is expected (|| true).

Testing Guidelines

  • Prefer automated tmux-socket tests first, then manual UX checks.
  • Validate all four states: running, needs-input, done, off.
  • Verify empty-value semantics ('') skip property application.
  • Verify focus-driven reset behavior for done styling (pane/window focus hooks).

Use docs/TESTING.md as the source of truth for commands and expected results.

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.
