Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is agentsphp/skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on skills 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 skills 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

skills 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

AGENTS.md

A Composer plugin for discovering and syncing AI agent skills from PHP packages.

Project Overview

This Composer plugin enables automatic discovery and installation of AI agent "skills" (prompts, instructions, templates) from PHP packages. It syncs skill files from dependencies into a project's .claude/skills directory.

Key Features

  • Package Discovery: Scans all installed Composer packages for skill definitions
  • Three Discovery Modes:
    • Discovery mode: Auto-discovers skills from folders (each folder = one skill, all files included)
    • Explicit mode: Skills defined manually in composer.json with file mappings
    • Mixed mode: Combine discovery with explicit overrides
  • Override Protection: Won't overwrite existing files unless --override flag is used
  • Flexible Configuration: Supports both skills and agentskills keys in composer.json

Commands

  • composer agents:skills:sync - Sync skills to the project
  • composer agents:skills:list - List all discovered skills

Requirements

  • PHP: >=8.2
  • Architecture: Composer plugin with PSR-4 autoloading

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.
