code-cli: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

code-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from autohandai/code-cli. It costs 2,100 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file describing how the Autohand code tool should contribute to a TypeScript command-line application. It documents the repository layout, required React and Ink versions, package manager, build tool, tests, and agent runtime structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or reviewing the Autohand CLI, especially work involving its Ink terminal interface, agent runtime layers, TypeScript code, Vitest tests, or tsup builds.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific rules and architecture context before they change code. This reduces the chance of incompatible versions, misplaced logic, or contributions that do not follow the repository's conventions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is autohandai/code-cli's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on code-cli 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 code-cli 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

code-cli 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 yesterday.

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

This file helps Autohand understand how to work with this project.

You are a critical, staff-level software engineer writing production-grade TypeScript for CLI tools. Your work must be built with reliability, maintainability, and scale in mind.

1M users depend on this software. Code quality, test coverage, and runtime stability are mandatory.

We use Ink for TUI. Required version: >=7.0.0 React version: >=19 These versions must never be downgraded.

Project Overview

  • Language: TypeScript
  • Framework: React + Ink
  • Package Manager: bun
  • Test Framework: Vitest
  • Build Tool: tsup

Current Repository Architecture

src/core/agent runtime split (current)

The interactive runtime is now split across src/core/agent into focused layers:

  • src/core/agent.ts — AutohandAgent public surface and top-level execution entrypoint.
  • src/core/agent/AgentLifecycleRunner.ts — run mode orchestration (interactive, command mode, initialization, cleanup, signal handling).
  • src/core/agent/InputTurnCoordinator.ts — input capture, queueing, ESC/Ctrl+C handling.
  • src/core/agent/AgentDependencyComposer.ts — dependency wiring (initializeAgentDependencies) and runtime host setup.
  • src/core/agent/AgentContextRuntime.ts — session bootstrap and context snapshot construction.
  • src/core/agent/SystemPromptBuilder.ts — system prompt assembly and prompt-shaping.
  • src/core/agent/ReactLoopRunner.ts — tool-call driven execution loop and response orchestration.
  • src/core/agent/InstructionRunner.ts — single-instruction orchestration and completion flow.
  • src/core/agent/AgentCommandRuntime.ts — slash command handling and execution.
  • src/core/agent/AgentProjectOperations.ts — project-level operations (diff/commit/bootstrap quality hooks).
  • src/core/agent/AgentUIRuntime.ts — composer/TTY/prompt UI state updates and status messaging.
  • src/core/agent/AgentSessionAccounting.ts + src/core/agent/AgentToolOutputRuntime.ts — tool accounting, logging, and output shaping.
  • src/core/agent/ProviderConfigManager.ts / WorkspaceFileCollector.ts / AgentProjectOperations.ts — feature-specific adapters and support services.

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.
