runner: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

runner AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from agent-orc/runner. It costs 356 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A short guide for CodingAgentRunner, a .NET library that starts coding-agent command-line programs such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini as child processes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the library, understanding how agent runs finish or stop, investigating Windows process handling, or editing user-facing text.
Why use it?
It points developers to the documents that explain the library’s design, process outcomes and Windows safeguards, while keeping those details out of the guide.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is agent-orc/runner's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on runner 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 runner 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

runner 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.

What it actually says

Agent guide

CodingAgentRunner is a .NET library that runs coding-agent CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity) as child processes. This file is intentionally short. The detail lives in docs/ — read it there rather than duplicating it here.

Rules

  • The platform owns git. Do not run git commit or git push. The host application owns version control.
  • Follow docs/voice-and-messaging.md for any user-facing text.
  • Hardening ships with tests. Each hardening behaviour links to the incident that motivated it and is pinned by a test. Don't remove a guard without understanding the reason behind it — see docs/why-windows-hardening.md.
Changes

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.
