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

This is autoworks-ai/autovault's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on autovault 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 autovault 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

autovault 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

5. `checkCapabilityDeclaration` (`capability.ts`) — cross-check declared capabilities against content (e.g. `network: false` vs. a `curl` in the body).

AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to Codex (Codex.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project

AutoVault is a capability library with local stdio and remote Streamable HTTP MCP entry points that stores, validates, and serves agent SKILL.md files. It is Node/TypeScript (ESM, NodeNext modules, strict TS). It does not execute skills — it validates them and serves them to MCP hosts.

The local entry point dist/index.js is designed to be spawned by an MCP host (Codex, Cursor, Codex) over stdio. The remote entry point dist/remote.js exposes Streamable HTTP MCP at /mcp with OAuth-backed bearer auth. The autovault CLI also exposes library workflows such as profile sync and skill setup.

Common commands

npm ci                             # install deps
npm run build                      # tsc → dist/
npm run dev                        # tsx watch (rebuild on save)
npm run start:remote               # run dist/remote.js after build
npm test                           # vitest run (one-shot)
npm run test:watch                 # vitest in watch mode
npx vitest run tests/dedup.test.ts # run a single test file
npx vitest run -t "name substring" # run tests matching a name
node scripts/bootstrap-skills.mjs  # seed bundled skills into $AUTOVAULT_STORAGE_PATH
node scripts/smoke.mjs             # end-to-end smoke (spawns dist/index.js)
node scripts/remote-smoke.mjs      # remote HTTP/OAuth smoke (spawns dist/remote.js)
node scripts/probe.mjs             # negative-path probing

The bootstrap/smoke/probe/remote-smoke scripts require npm run build first because they spawn compiled files from dist/.

Pull request workflow

  • Open PRs ready for review by default, not draft, so CI and review automation run. Use draft only when explicitly requested.
  • After creating a PR from Codex, wait 4-5 minutes before finishing the handoff so GitHub Copilot has time to post review threads.
  • After the wait, check the PR for unresolved per-line Copilot review threads. If any exist, run the copilot-review skill/workflow against that PR: evaluate each comment, make valid fixes, reply, resolve handled threads, commit, and push the PR branch. Never merge unless Jack explicitly authorizes it.
  • If no unresolved Copilot review threads exist, report that there is nothing to do and include the current CI status when available.

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.
