agentscout AGENTS.md

agentscout AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from agentx402-ai/agentscout. It costs 1,472 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared instruction guide for coding agents and contributors working on AgentScout, an open-source client for a paid web reading and crawling service. It explains the repository, its npm workspaces, commands, conventions, and rules for handling money safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, testing, reviewing, or releasing the AgentScout client, command-line tool, or MCP server.
Why use it?
It gives agents one reliable source of project rules and helps prevent unsafe payment changes or incorrect development steps.

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

agentscout 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 3d 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — agent/contributor guide for this repo

Cross-tool agent instructions (the agents.md convention). CLAUDE.md references this file; keep tool-specific notes there, shared truth here.

What this repo is

Open-source client surface for AgentScout — an agent-native, x402-paid web read/extract/crawl service (service at api.agentx402.ai/v1/scout/*; the server is not in this repo). npm-workspaces monorepo:

Workspace Package What it is
client/ @agentscout/client SDK — x402 payments, spend caps, read/extract/quote/crawl
cli/ @agentscout/cli CLI + agentscout mcp MCP server (wraps the client)
plugin/ (not published to npm) Claude Code plugin wrapping the MCP server

@agentx402-ai/core (shared x402/EIP-712 platform SDK) lives in its own repo (agentx402-ai/core) and is consumed as a normal dependency.

Commands

npm ci                 # install (root; workspaces hoisted)
npm run build          # client then cli (order matters — cli depends on client)
npm run typecheck      # tsc --noEmit, both workspaces
npm test               # builds client first (pretest), then client + cli suites (vitest)
npm run lint           # biome ci .   (CI gate — run before pushing)
npm run format         # biome check --write .
npm --workspace client test -- spend-caps   # one file, vitest filename filter

Run build before typecheck, not after. client/package.json points types at ./dist/index.d.ts, so cli's typecheck resolves @agentscout/client through the BUILT client, not its source. Typechecking straight after editing client/src therefore reports Cannot find module '@agentscout/client' — a false failure that points at the import rather than at anything actually wrong. npm test is safe on its own (a pretest builds the client first); a standalone npm run typecheck is not. CI only ever runs build-then-test, which is why this never fires there. Working order: lint, build, typecheck, test.

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.
