SRAgent: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

SRAgent AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ArcInstitute/SRAgent. It costs 628 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for SRAgent, a Python tool with a command-line interface, data tools, workflows, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the project’s folder structure, running its tests and command-line checks, building its Docker image, and matching its Python naming and style rules.
Why use it?
They give an agent clear rules for how the project is organised, built, tested, and written, reducing guesswork when changing the code.

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

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

SRAgent 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 2mo 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.

Repository Guidelines

Project Structure & Module Organization

  • SRAgent/: Python package (CLI in cli/, agent logic in agents/, tools in tools/, workflows in workflows/, DB helpers in db/).
  • tests/: Pytest suite mirroring package layout (e.g., tests/agents/, tests/workflows/).
  • scripts/: Standalone utilities and evaluation helpers.
  • assets/: Images used in docs.
  • Root files: pyproject.toml (build), Dockerfile, README.md, .env (optional), .github/workflows/ (CI).

Build, Test, and Development Commands

  • Install (user): pip install .
  • Install (dev): pip install -e ".[dev]"
  • Run tests: pytest tests/
  • CLI help: SRAgent --help
  • Example run: SRAgent entrez "Convert GSE121737 to SRX accessions"
  • Docker (optional): docker build -t sragent . then docker run --rm -e OPENAI_API_KEY -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY sragent --help

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

  • Python ≥ 3.11; follow PEP 8 with 4‑space indents and descriptive names.
  • Names: modules/functions snake_case, classes CamelCase, constants UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
  • Prefer type hints and docstrings on public functions; keep functions small and focused.
  • No repo‑enforced linter; keep style consistent with nearby code and avoid introducing new tooling/config without discussion.

Testing Guidelines

  • Framework: pytest. Place tests under tests/ with files named test_*.py and test functions test_*.
  • Mirror CLI and workflow behavior; see tests/test_cli_help.py for a pattern to validate subcommand help and exit codes.
  • Add tests for new features and edge cases; avoid network‑dependent tests unless mocked.

Commit & Pull Request Guidelines

  • Commits: concise, imperative subject; include context in the body when changing behavior or interfaces (e.g., “Add disease‑ontology agent”).
  • PRs: clear description, rationale, and usage notes; link issues when applicable. Include example CLI invocations or sample output for user‑facing changes.
  • CI: GitHub Actions runs pytest on Python 3.11/3.12 for main and dev. PRs must be green before merge.

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.
