altinity-skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

altinity-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Altinity/altinity-skills. It costs 188 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for checking a connection to ClickHouse, a database designed for fast analytical queries. They require testing the connection with a query that reports the server name and version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to verify ClickHouse connectivity before running audit queries. If the test fails, it tells the agent to request the missing connection information or report the failure.
Why use it?
It prevents audit work from starting when the database target or login details are missing, invalid, or unreachable.

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

altinity-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 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.

What it actually says

ClickHouse connectivity

Follow the altinity-expert-clickhouse-connection skill. In short:

  • MCP mode (preferred): use a tool whose name contains clickhouse and one of query/execute/sql (the exact name depends on the harness, e.g. clickhouse_execute_query in OpenCode, mcp__clickhouse__execute_query in Claude Code). One SQL statement per call.
  • Exec mode: clickhouse-client with the connection flags the user provided. One statement per invocation; never --queries-file or --multiquery.

Probe with select hostName(), version().

If the probe fails:

  • Stop immediately (do not proceed with audit queries and don't try to write scripts).
  • Ask for the missing connection context (target host/cluster, mode, credentials/profile), or return a clear failure.
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.
