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

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

abtars 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 1mo 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.

Quick commands

npm install          # install deps
npm run build        # tsc + copy dashboard public + git build-info
npm run typecheck    # tsc --noEmit (fastest feedback)
npm test             # fast deterministic suite (unit/component + deploy logic)
npm run test:watch   # vitest (watch mode)
npm run test:integration  # integration tests (needs abmind)
npm run test:e2e         # critical end-to-end smoke/recovery tests
npm run test:extended     # integration/process/E2E tests
npm run test:all          # every Vitest test
npm run dev          # node --import tsx src/main.ts
npm run bundle       # esbuild single ESM bundle → bundle/

Run npm run typecheck before committing. It catches strict-mode errors (noUnusedLocals, noUnusedParameters, noUncheckedIndexedAccess).

Architecture

  • Entry: src/main.ts → src/bridge-app.ts → boot phases (src/boot/phase-*.ts)
  • Boot phases run sequentially in a pipeline defined in bridge-app.ts. Each phase sets exactly one field on BootCtx (src/boot/context.ts).
  • Platforms: src/platforms/{telegram,discord,agent-api}/ — adapters for chat input/output.
  • Transport: src/components/transport/ — bridges to agent CLI (tmux, ACP, or direct API).
  • Capabilities: src/capabilities/{hotskills,sleep}/ — self-contained feature modules. Browser work is an external cloak CLI plus managed B-session routing. Registry auto-generated by esbuild plugin at src/capabilities/_registry.generated.ts.
  • Components: src/components/ — core subsystems (memory, tasks, pipeline, sessions, secrets, etc.).

Model-call chokepoint: spin(spec) (#1271)

All LLM calls go through spin.spin(spec) — the single async method in src/components/spin.ts. Per-type behavior is driven by the SessionProfile registry (src/components/spin-profiles.ts); adding a new SessionType means adding a row, not a new method or branch.

  • Use spin({ type, ...spec, await: true }) for new code.
  • dispatch / dispatchAwait / sendUserToOrc are deprecated thin wrappers.
  • dispatchBackground(opts) is the entry for non-user-facing one-shots (e.g. compaction summary, system maintenance).
  • grep-invariant test (src/components/spin-invariant.test.ts) enforces: no runtime.complete( or caller-turn .sendPrompt( outside an allowlist. The allowlist is the chokepoint itself + transport machinery + the defensive fallback in openai-compat-routes.ts.

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.
