contextforge-cli AGENTS.md

A repository instruction file for a CLI project called ContextForge. It defines the project's mission, defaults, folder conventions, runtime requirements, and command rules for agents working on the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding work on a Node.js and pnpm monorepo that generates code graphs, context packs, software specifications, and implementation plans.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent project-specific rules, such as using deterministic analysis, validating JSON output, and keeping changes small.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

contextforge-cli 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.

ContextForge Agent Rules

Mission

Build and maintain a token-efficient CLI that generates:

  • structural graphs
  • context packs
  • SDD specs
  • implementation plans

Defaults

  • Prefer deterministic analysis over LLM inference.
  • Never reload the full repository if a graph or context pack already exists.
  • Validate all machine-readable outputs against JSON Schema.
  • Keep prompts short, explicit, and task-scoped.
  • Prefer minimal diffs and minimal file touches.

Repo conventions

  • Runtime: Node.js >= 22
  • Package manager: pnpm
  • Monorepo packages live under packages/
  • Generated artifacts live under .contextforge/

Command policy

  • forge scan must not call any LLM.
  • forge graph should stay deterministic by default.
    • --force: rebuilds from scratch, ignoring scan-hash cache and per-file cache. Use it after editing the parser or to debug.
    • --with-calls: opt-in detection of calls edges via regex. The default output never includes calls — keep it that way unless the consumer explicitly asked for them; the heuristic is noisier than imports.
    • The per-file cache lives at .contextforge/graph.cache.json and is invalidated automatically when the parser version bumps. Don't commit it.
  • forge context may summarize only when budget requires it.
  • forge spec prepares the input for OpenSpec — it does not duplicate OpenSpec's logic. With openspec CLI in PATH it delegates scaffolding to openspec new change. Without it, the fallback emits the same modern format (### Requirement: + #### Scenario:) so openspec validate passes once the CLI is installed.
  • forge implement defaults to plan-only unless explicitly allowed to edit.

For agents working in this repo

Before reading files, read .contextforge/agent-context.md first — it lists all available artifacts (graph, context-pack, spec-input, manifest) plus the SDD recipe. Do not re-scan the repo if .contextforge/context-pack.json already exists for the current task.

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.
