What is autonomous-os AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction file for coding agents working across several development environments. It defines shared rules for code changes, documentation updates, parallel work, and device access.

Use it when modifying the operating system, APIs, setup flow, web interface, monitoring, MQTT, dispatch, or publishing features.

It keeps different AI assistants aligned and prevents code changes from leaving required English or Vietnamese documentation out of date.

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	$0.03197	$0.03197
Opus 5	$0.01598	$0.01598
Sonnet 5	$0.00639	$0.00639
Haiku 4.5	$0.00320	$0.00320

Security

Grade A, and why

autonomous-os 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 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.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 268 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to Codex and other coding agents when working in this repository. Treat CLAUDE.md as the upstream source of truth; this file is the Codex-compatible mirror of those project rules.

Multi-IDE Rules

This repo is developed across multiple AI-assisted environments. The following rules apply to all code changes:

Update docs on code change - When changing behavior, architecture, or APIs, update both the English and Vietnamese docs. Keep numbers, flows, endpoints, and states accurate with the code. Platform docs are in docs/; lamp-specific docs are in robots/lamp/docs/.

Platform docs (docs/ + docs/vi/):

Code area	English doc	Vietnamese doc
os-server, API, startup	`docs/os-server.md`	`docs/vi/os-server_vi.md`
Setup flow, provisioning	`docs/setup-flow.md`	`docs/vi/setup-flow_vi.md`
Web UI, configuration pages	`docs/web-ui.md`	`docs/vi/web-ui_vi.md`
Flow Monitor (turn pipeline, JSONL, SSE)	`docs/flow-monitor.md`	`docs/vi/flow-monitor_vi.md`
Overall structure	`docs/overview.md`	`docs/vi/overview_vi.md`
MQTT, dispatch, publish	`docs/mqtt.md`	`docs/vi/mqtt_vi.md`
OTA, bootstrap	`docs/bootstrap-ota.md`	`docs/vi/bootstrap-ota.md`
Speech emotion recognition (SER)	`docs/speech-emotion.md`	`docs/vi/speech-emotion_vi.md`

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.
