cognitive-os AGENTS.md

cognitive-os AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from aegntic/cognitive-os. It costs 7,122 tokens per session, scanned C, original, no licence file.

A set of AGENTS.md instructions for the cognitive-os project, described as a cognitive operating system. It defines always-active directives, how to detect and adapt to the execution setup, and how to organise lists.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on cognitive-os and when an agent needs guidance on its directives, setup, or list handling.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific rules and operating context before they act.

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 C, and why

cognitive-os AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

- **NEVER** run `rm -rf /`, `rm -rf ~`, or broad deletion patterns

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.
