MoleCode: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

MoleCode AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from AtomFlow-AI/MoleCode. It costs 847 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for MoleCode, an LLM-oriented way to represent molecules as typed Mermaid graphs. A molecule is a chemical structure; the format can convert to and from SMILES or MOL files using RDKit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding and editing small molecules, polymers, and Markush structures, converting chemical formats, and using the repository’s MoleCode skill and command-line tools.
Why use it?
They tell coding agents to use the project’s explicit graph representation when understanding or editing molecules, making atoms and bonds easier to inspect and modify.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is AtomFlow-AI/MoleCode's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on MoleCode 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 MoleCode 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

MoleCode 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.

AGENTS.md — MoleCode

Guidance for coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, and compatible tools) working in this repository.

What this repo is

MoleCode is an LLM-native molecular representation: it serializes a molecule as an explicit Mermaid graph where every atom and bond is a typed, named node/edge, losslessly inter-convertible with SMILES / MOL via RDKit. It covers three domains with one grammar — small molecules, polymers (PSMILES repeat units), and Markush structures ({} R-groups).

The installable library lives in molecode/; user-facing docs are in docs/; runnable examples in examples/.

Use the MoleCode skill

A ready-to-use Agent Skill ships in this repo at .claude/skills/molecode/:

MoleCode-first rule

For any molecule understanding or editing task, work at the explicit graph level: convert SMILES → MoleCode, inspect/edit the named nodes and edges, then validate and convert back. This is more reliable than reasoning over linear SMILES and safer than hand-writing a new SMILES for structural edits.

CLI quick start

# from the repo root (the script finds the molecode package automatically)
python .claude/skills/molecode/scripts/molecode_convert.py doctor
python .claude/skills/molecode/scripts/molecode_convert.py smiles-to-molecode "CCO" --name Ethanol

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.
