erga-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

erga-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Adr1an04/erga-mcp. It costs 747 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A contributor guide for Erga MCP, a local-first career assistant that organizes information and synchronizes user-approved sources. MCP is a way for an AI assistant to call tools provided by another application.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the right module before editing Erga, understand its interface-to-domain structure, and route changes involving tools, transports, documentation, or application logic.
Why use it?
It explains where different kinds of changes belong and sets boundaries around sensitive actions. In particular, the assistant must not submit applications, send messages, or change remote accounts without a separate user action.

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

erga-mcp 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Erga MCP contributor and agent guide

Start here

Read docs/architecture/README.md, use docs/architecture/module-map.md to find the owner, then route tests with docs/development.md. Use docs/README.md as the documentation index. Inspect the owning module and its focused tests before editing; do not begin in cli.py or mcp/server.py when the behavior belongs in a domain package.

Product boundary

Erga is a local-first career assistant. It may organize data, propose edits, and synchronize user-authorized sources. It must not submit applications, send messages, mutate remote mail, or make irreversible account changes without a separate explicit user action.

The standalone CLI and deterministic domain/application modules are the core. MCP, Hermes, Discord, cron, mail, and Obsidian are adapters. Dependency direction is interface → application → domain; core modules must not import an optional interface.

Change routing

Shared persistence and records src/erga_mcp/store.py, src/erga_mcp/models.py
Optional hosts and providers src/erga_mcp/integrations/

Nested AGENTS.md files refine these rules for MCP, provider adapters, Hermes, and tests. Read the nearest applicable guide before changing one of those trees.

New reusable behavior belongs in the owning module. New MCP tools belong in a cohesive tool-family module and are registered from the server facade. Do not grow a second monolith.

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.
