What is artbot AGENTS.md?

A project guide for ArtBot, a Discord bot that answers art-token queries, reports OpenSea activity, announces mints and runs scheduled trivia. It gives coding agents and maintainers the project’s commands, production settings and architecture.

Use it when changing, testing, generating code for or deploying ArtBot. It also helps agents understand how the long-running Node process and its external services fit together.

It keeps agents and maintainers aligned with the repository’s actual behavior and deployment setup. It also records the correct Node, Yarn and code-generation workflow.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02618	$0.02618
Opus 5.5	$0.01047	$0.01047
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00524	$0.00524
Haiku 4.5	$0.00262	$0.00262

Security

Grade A, and why

artbot 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 25d 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.

ArtBot — Agent & Maintainer Guide

Canonical context for AI agents (Cursor, Claude Code, etc.) and human maintainers. Prefer this file over the README when they disagree; keep both in sync when you change behavior.

What this is

ArtBot is the Art Blocks Discord bot: project/token queries (#42 fidenza), OpenSea sales/listings feeds, mint announcements (Hasura webhook), optional Twitter sale posts, and scheduled trivia.

It is a single long-running Node process (Express HTTP + Discord.js + OpenSea stream). Hosted on Render.com (see comment in src/index.ts). There is no Dockerfile in-repo; deploy is yarn start with env vars set in the host.

Quick commands

corepack enable          # Yarn 4 via packageManager field
yarn install             # also runs postinstall → yarn codegen
yarn start               # ts-node src/index.ts
yarn codegen             # regenerate generated/graphql.ts from Hasura schema
yarn lint
yarn format
yarn lint-and-format

Node: 20.x (see .node-version, engines)
Package manager: Yarn 4.3.1 (nodeLinker: node-modules) — do not switch to npm for day-to-day work
generated/ is gitignored — a fresh clone must yarn install or yarn codegen before TypeScript works
Pre-commit (husky): yarn codegen && yarn lint-and-format
Tests: yarn test exists but there are no test files; CI does not run Jest
CI (.github/workflows/build-check.yml): install → codegen → timeout 1m yarn start with PRODUCTION_MODE=false (exit 124 = success)

Two production flags (critical)

These are independent. Mis-setting them is the most common ops footgun.

Env var	Controls	Prod value	Local Discord testing
`ARTBOT_IS_PROD`	Which JSON configs load (`channels.json` / `projectBots.json` vs `*_dev.json`)	`true`	`false` (a-t test server channels)
`PRODUCTION_MODE`	Discord login, then OpenSea event handling / REST poll bot	`true`	`true` if you want live Discord/OpenSea; CI uses `false`

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.
