It explains where skills and tool-specific setups belong and what format each skill must use.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is algorand-devrel/algorand-agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on algorand-agent-skills 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 algorand-agent-skills 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

algorand-agent-skills 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 8d 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.

# Skill Title

## When to use this skill
[Triggers and use cases]

## Overview / Core Workflow
[Main steps]

## How to proceed
[Detailed instructions]

## Important Rules / Guidelines
[Critical do's and don'ts]

## References / Further Reading

Best Practices

  1. Keep SKILL.md under 500 lines - Split detailed content into separate files
  2. Include strong triggers - List phrases that should activate this skill
  3. Provide examples - Show correct and incorrect patterns
  4. Link related skills - Help agents discover related capabilities, see Progressive Disclosure

Testing Skills

To test a skill:

  1. Create a test AlgoKit project
  2. Copy setups/AGENTS.md and relevant setup files to the project
  3. Copy the skills/ directory
  4. Use your AI coding tool to trigger the skill
  5. Verify the output follows expected patterns

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.
