harness-bench-fast: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

harness-bench-fast AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ai-forever/harness-bench-fast. It costs 800 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for the ai-forever/harness-bench-fast project. They define how to report benchmark results, identify models, and apply scoring rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
For recording completed benchmark runs, calculating scores, naming models and harnesses, and reporting available step and token metrics.
Why use it?
They prevent inconsistent benchmark tables and comparisons between runs that used different task-set versions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is ai-forever/harness-bench-fast's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on harness-bench-fast 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 harness-bench-fast 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

harness-bench-fast 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 7d 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.

Repository Instructions

Benchmark Result Tables

When reporting итоговую таблицу benchmark runs for this repository, use this table format by default:

harness model passed score steps tokens

Rules:

  • Include only completed runs with exactly 391 tasks (current task-set v0.16.0) unless the user asks for partials.
  • Sort rows by score descending.
  • Use passed as <passed>/391 and score as a percentage with one decimal place.
  • Do not mix task-set versions in one table. Earlier runs are not comparable: v0.14.0 scored 371 tasks, and v0.16.0 corrected defects across the 391 of v0.15.0 without changing their number. If more than one version must appear, split the table and name the task-set version in each.
  • Do not include artifact links or artifact paths in the main table unless explicitly requested.
  • Use the human-readable harness and model names, not only the JSON filename.
  • Include steps and tokens from the run JSON when present.
  • If a run artifact does not contain steps or token metrics, show 0 and note that 0 means the metric is absent from the artifact, not that nothing was spent.

Scoring Rules

  • A task interrupted by the per-task timeout or an agent hang counts as a normal fail (kept in the full denominator, no "partial/interrupted" note).
  • Transient infrastructure errors (network failures, HTTP 5xx / 429 / 529 Overloaded, connection resets, gateway timeouts) are not model failures. A task that died on such an error must be rerun before the run is reported; the retried result replaces the errored one. In-flight auto-retries of transient errors by runners are allowed and do not need to be disclosed per task.

Model Identification

  • When recording or reporting any benchmark run, always save not only the exact model (id/version/build) but also the reasoning level used, when the model or API supports one (e.g. reasoning_effort, thinking budget, effort presets like low/medium/high). If no level was set explicitly, record it as default — reasoning level materially changes both scores and token spend, so a result without it is not reproducible.

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.

harness-bench-fast AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository ai-forever/harness-bench-fast (50 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 800 tokens to every session, about $0.0040 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
