memora: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

memora AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from agentic-box/memora. It costs 997 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction guide for coding agents working on memora, a memory server that stores data in SQLite and exposes it through APIs. It explains the project’s contracts, tests, supported Python versions, and commit rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying memora, choosing tests for a touched module, checking compatibility across Python and operating systems, or preparing a reviewable commit.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project-specific rules needed to make changes without breaking expected behavior. It also prevents wasted work by directing changes to the right tests and environments.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is agentic-box/memora's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on memora 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 memora 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

memora 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 yesterday.

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.

Working in memora

memora is a SQLite-backed memory server (MCP + a plain HTTP API). Read README.md for behaviour, docs/ for subsystem design, and contracts/memora-api/v1/README.md for the API contract.

Running tests

  • Install the dev extras once: pip install -e '.[dev]'.
  • Run targeted tests, not the whole suite: python -m pytest -q <files>. The full suite is the leader's to run, once per candidate commit.
  • Run a passing candidate on a Linux build host (<build-host>; venvs ~/verify/venv312 and the 3.10 floor ~/verify/venv310) and on the Mac test host (<mac-test-host>). CI's floor is Python 3.10 (see .github/workflows/clean-install.yml); a change must pass there.
  • tests/test_no_infra_identifiers.py scans git ls-files, so it needs a real git checkout — run it from a worktree, never from an extracted tarball.
  • Graph UI changes (memora/graph/**, memora-graph/**) are covered by memora-graph/scripts/test_ui.mjs (the graph-ui CI job), not pytest.
  • Before a review request, run only the tests you added or changed. After a PASS, run the targeted set plus a mutation (make each claimed test fail once). See the sealed-review skill.

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.
