minipainter: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

minipainter AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ArturSkowronski/minipainter. It costs 1,460 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for coding agents working on Minipainter, a Node.js command-line and terminal application for managing miniature-paint collections.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps install dependencies, run tests, use the paint search and matching commands, start the terminal interface or servers, and check the paint catalogue.
Why use it?
It gives agents the commands, setup details, testing process, and project rules needed to make changes safely in that codebase.

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

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

minipainter 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 9d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — minipainter project guide for coding agents

A CLI + TUI + MCP servers (Claude and ChatGPT) for managing a miniature-paint inventory and doing owned-first cross-brand paint matching over a catalog of 1,607 paints. Node.js, ESM, tested with the built-in runner (npm testnode --test).

Humans: see README.md. CLAUDE.md carries the same paint-catalog rules and takes precedence.

Setup

npm install          # Node.js 20+ (the Docker image uses node:22-alpine)

No build step — everything runs straight from src/ (.mjs, native ESM).

Commands

npm test                          # whole suite: node --test over tests/*.test.mjs
node src/cli.mjs --help           # CLI entry point
node src/cli.mjs paint search bone
node src/cli.mjs inventory own "Abaddon Black"
node src/cli.mjs match color "#d2c29b"
node src/cli.mjs tui              # colored terminal UI (honors NO_COLOR)
node src/cli.mjs catalog lint     # fails if any paint has a null product_format
npm run generate:demo            # regenerate docs/assets/*.svg TUI captures
  • node src/mcp-server.mjs — MCP over stdio (Claude Desktop).
  • node src/mcp-http-server.mjs — HTTP server on PORT (default 3000): /mcp, /mcp/v3 (ChatGPT search/fetch/match_color), /health, /api/*.

Always run npm test before finishing; keep it green. Tests use import test from 'node:test'

  • node:assert/strict. External services in tests use in-memory fakes (pg-mem for Postgres) — npm test must never need a real database or network.

Storage (inventory)

Chosen at runtime in src/registry-store.mjs:

  • DATABASE_URL set → Postgres (owned_paints table). Used by Docker / Render / Fly.
  • unset → JSON file (~/.minipainting/inventory.json locally, /data/inventory.json in Docker).

Only the inventory (owned paint ids) is in the database; the catalog is always in-image files.

Run the full stack (Docker + Postgres)

docker compose up --build         # app + postgres:16; inventory persists in the pgdata volume

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.
