Why use it?
They explain how to build and validate the repository and how its instruction files should be written and formatted.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: $ARGUMENTS substitution, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Claude Code.

This is alexei-led/cc-thingz's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on cc-thingz 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 cc-thingz 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

cc-thingz 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 10d 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 — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

cc-thingz — Coding Companion

Portable skills, agents, and typed hooks for Pi, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and Grok. Agent Bundler (agbun) renders them from src/ into per-target packages under dist/.

Writing and communication

  • Lead with the result, problem, or decision. Each sentence adds a fact, reason, or action. Omit routine narration, repeated questions, pleasantries, and empty sections.
  • Use the fewest words that preserve meaning. Keep conditions, risks, compatibility limits, and genuine uncertainty explicit.
  • Use one term per concept. Name the actor and the referent instead of ambiguous "this", "it", or "they".
  • Replace praise and quality adjectives with evidence. Distinguish observed facts, recommendations, and unverified claims.
  • For human readers, choose prose, lists, tables, or supported visuals by what explains fastest. For agent readers, use explicit operational rules, not decorative visuals.
  • Use writing-style for commits, PR/MR descriptions, issues, and review comments. Use documenting-code for docs and writing-skills for AI instructions.
  • These defaults apply to all generated text in the user's language. Explicit user or project requirements override them.

Build and check

make build    # render dist/ and root manifests with Agent Bundler
make fmt      # auto-fix Ruff, the configured JS formatter, and shfmt
make check    # fail on generated drift without rewriting dist/
make ci       # lint + validate + check + test + test-ts
  • make build, make check, and make ci need the sandbox disabled: the uv cache at ~/.cache/uv is restricted in the Claude Code sandbox.
  • make build needs the agbun version pinned in .agentbundler-version; scripts/setup/install-agbun.sh installs it.
  • Commit regenerated dist/ and root manifests together with the src/ change.
  • Done means make fmt leaves no diff and make ci passes.

Where things live

  • src/skills/<name>/SKILL.md — vendor-neutral skill body, with references/ and scripts/ beside it.
  • src/agents/<name>.md — vendor-neutral role bodies.
  • src/hooks/<name>/ — typed hook assets; src/hooks/UNSUPPORTED.md records per-target boundaries.
  • src/plugins/pi/ — Pi-native extension trees and the Pi compatibility runner.
  • src/.agentbundler/packages/*.json — package membership and metadata.
  • agentbundle.json — targets, composition, and per-target skillPreamble.
  • dist/ — generated output; never edit it by hand.
  • docs/ — contributor docs: Agent Bundler gaps, Pi package, skill evals.
  • tests/ — pytest, Bats, Pi extension tests, and tests/skill-evals/ eval suites.

Changes

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.
