limux AGENTS.md

A contributor guide for Limux, a Linux desktop application for managing terminal workspaces. It describes the application’s Rust components, embedded terminal, command-line tool, and quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying Limux’s GTK interface, terminal integration, Unix-socket control, command dispatcher, protocol types, CLI, or related Rust crates.
Why use it?
It helps agents understand which part of the project owns a feature and avoids confusing the contributor guide with a runtime-generated agent protocol file. This makes code changes and verification more targeted.

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

limux 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 2d 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.

AGENTS.md - Limux contributor guide

This file is for agents editing the Limux source tree. Do not confuse it with the AGENTS.md generated by limux agent-team inside a user's shared cwd; that generated file documents the runtime agent message protocol.

What Limux Is

Limux is a GTK4 + libadwaita terminal workspace manager for Linux. Terminal rendering is embedded Ghostty (libghostty.so), and external automation drives the running app through a Unix socket and the limux-cli crate.

Crates

Crate Role
limux-protocol JSON request/response envelope types.
limux-core In-process command dispatcher and state engine. Core IDs are u64.
limux-control Unix socket path, auth, framing, and standalone control server.
limux-ghostty-sys Raw FFI bindings to ghostty/include/ghostty.h.
limux-host-linux GTK host binary, window/pane/tab UI, terminal integration, live control bridge.
limux-cli User-facing CLI and agent integration commands.

Binaries

Local debug builds produce two important binaries:

  • target/debug/limux is the GTK host from limux-host-linux; it only accepts GTK/GApplication flags.
  • target/debug/limux-cli is the CLI; use this for subcommands such as identify, agent-team, notify, read-screen, and send.

Installed packages expose limux as the CLI. Running installed limux with no arguments launches the private host binary (limux-host) from libexec.

cargo build -p limux-cli --bin limux-cli
./target/debug/limux-cli --help

Quality Gate

The canonical check is:

./scripts/check.sh

It runs cargo fmt --check, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test --workspace. Run narrower checks while iterating:

cargo check -p limux-host-linux
cargo test -p limux-cli
cargo check --workspace

For live agent/control-socket behavior, prefer the maintained smoke harness:

./scripts/xvfb-smoke-test.sh
LIMUX_SMOKE_PROFILE=debug ./scripts/xvfb-smoke-test.sh

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.
