aurora AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Arvo-AI/aurora. It costs 2,731 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository guide for Aurora, including its architecture, development commands, Docker deployments, and Vault-based secret management. Docker packages applications and their services into repeatable containers.

In plain words
What is it for?

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

aurora AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

- Subprocess calls (`subprocess.run`, `Popen`, etc.) must receive an explicit `env` parameter with only the variables they need — never inherit the full server environment.

Aurora - Agent Guidelines

Commands

  • Start dev: make dev (builds & starts all containers)
  • Stop: make down
  • View logs: make logs (shows last 50 lines, follows)
  • Rebuild API: make rebuild-server (rebuild aurora-server only)
  • Frontend lint: cd client && npm run lint
  • Frontend build: cd client && npm run build
  • Backend logs: docker logs -f aurora-celery_worker-1 (or kubectl logs -f deployment/aurora-celery-worker)
  • Deploy with Docker Compose: make prod (production build)

Docker deployments

  • Development: Use make dev-build to build the project, make dev to start containers, and make down to stop them.
  • Production (prebuilt images): Use make prod-prebuilt to pull from GHCR, retag, and run. Use make prod-local to build from source instead. Use make down to stop.
  • Production (build from source): Use make prod-local or make prod-build for feature branch demos and custom builds.
  • Important: Always update both docker-compose.yaml and docker-compose.prod-local.yml together to keep environment variables in sync.

Architecture

  • Docker Compose stack: aurora-server (Flask API on :5080), celery_worker (background tasks), chatbot (WebSocket on :5006), frontend (Next.js on :3000), postgres (:5432), weaviate (vector DB :8080), redis (:6379), vault (secrets :8200), seaweedfs (object storage :8333)
  • Backend (server/): Flask REST API (main_compute.py), WebSocket chatbot (main_chatbot.py), Celery tasks, connectors for GCP/AWS/Azure/Datadog/New Relic/Grafana, LangGraph agent workflow
  • Frontend (client/): Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui components, Auth.js authentication, path alias @/*./src/*
  • Database: PostgreSQL (aurora_db), Weaviate for semantic search, Redis for Celery queue
  • Secrets: HashiCorp Vault (KV v2 engine at aurora mount)
  • Object Storage: S3-compatible via SeaweedFS (default), supports AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, etc.
  • Config: Environment in ./.env, GCP service account in server/connectors/gcp_connector/*.json

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.
