In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing devlog, learning where session and storage code lives, or building and testing the Go application.
Why use it?
It helps contributors preserve session context, blockers, and handoffs while following the project’s required checks.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is amohamma8029/devlog's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on devlog 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 devlog 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

devlog 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — devlog

Reference for AI agents and human contributors working in this repo.


REPO FACTS (3–5 lines)

What this is, who uses it, one key constraint or rule a new contributor needs first.

A CLI/TUI tool that records structured coding session journals inside a git repo. Used by solo developers or async coding partners (human or AI) to capture context, blockers, and handoffs. One global devlog per repo. Never auto-commits.

COMMANDS (put these first — agents reference them constantly)

mise install # install pinned Go version (if using mise) go build -o devlog.exe ./cmd/devlog # compile go test ./... # run after EVERY change; stop on first failure go test ./... -v # verbose output for debugging

Stack

Go 1.22+, Cobra (CLI), Bubble Tea + Bubbles + Lipgloss + Glamour (TUI). Storage: YAML front-matter + Markdown body, one file per session in .devlog/sessions/.

PROJECT STRUCTURE

cmd/devlog/ — CLI entrypoint (main.go + Cobra command wiring) internal/session/ — Session lifecycle (start, stop, list, find active) internal/store/ — File I/O for .devlog/sessions/*.md (YAML front-matter + Markdown body) internal/handoff/ — Summary artifact generation from session data internal/git/ — Repo root detection, branch name, author identity from git config internal/tui/ — Bubble Tea interactive interface internal/skill/ — Agent skill installation (embeds SKILL.md, writes to tool skill directories)

CODE STYLE

Conventions — concrete rules beat vague descriptions

  • Return explicit errors; never swallow them with blank identifiers
  • One session = one file in .devlog/sessions/; append-only during a session
  • Never auto-commit or stage git changes; the tool writes files only
  • Author identity from git config user.name/email; env fallback DEVLOG_AUTHOR_NAME / DEVLOG_AUTHOR_EMAIL
  • Go standard naming: PascalCase exported, camelCase unexported
  • No runtime dependencies added without asking first

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.
