opencode: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

opencode AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from anomalyco/opencode. It costs 3,035 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for the OpenCode project, including rules for branches, commits, pull requests, code structure, and generated files.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide work such as naming branches, writing commit messages, regenerating the JavaScript software kit, and keeping package dependencies in the intended direction.
Why use it?
They help a coding agent follow the project's local conventions and avoid changing files that are meant to be generated.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions OpenCode.

This is anomalyco/opencode's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on opencode 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 opencode configures →

About the project

OpenCode is an open-source AI coding agent that helps developers work on software projects. It includes agents for full-access development, read-only exploration and planning, plus a general subagent for complex searches and multistep tasks; the catalogue add-ons extend its workflows.

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

opencode 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 today.

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 — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

  • After changing the public Protocol or Server HttpApi, run bun run generate from packages/client. Do not edit generated client files directly.
  • Keep runtime dependencies directed from Schema to Core and Protocol, then from Core and Protocol to Server. Client runtime code may depend on Schema and Protocol but never Core or Server; sdk composes Client, Core, and Server.
  • This repository does not use Changesets. Do not add .changeset files; follow the existing release workflow instead.
  • The default branch is dev. Base branches and worktrees on origin/dev, target PRs at dev, and diff against origin/dev unless told otherwise.

Live TUI Testing

  • Run bun run dev:live from a development worktree to test its TUI against the currently elected opencode background server and live sessions.
  • Pass a directory after the script when needed, for example bun run dev:live /path/to/project.
  • The script discovers the server with opencode service status, injects its private local credential from opencode service get password, and uses the dev TUI storage channel so tabs and other client-local state match the installed client.
  • Prefer dev:live over plain bun run dev for this workflow. An implicit managed-service connection may replace the live server when the worktree client version differs; explicit --server warns and continues without replacing it.

TUI Stories

  • When a user asks for a TUI story, add a fixture-driven story under packages/tui/src/feature-plugins/system/storybook and register it in index.tsx.
  • Render the real production component rather than a visual copy. Keep submissions and other side effects local to the story so it is safe to explore repeatedly.
  • Expose the meaningful state dimensions through story keybindings and list them in StoryFooter; include a reset command when combinations can leave the fixture in a confusing state.
  • Run a specific story with OPENCODE_STORY=<story-id> bun run dev:live from the development worktree, and exercise narrow and wide terminal sizes when layout is relevant.

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.
