codex-session-tui AGENTS.md

codex-session-tui AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from avikalpa/codex-session-tui. It costs 748 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for a Rust terminal interface that browses and remaps Codex session files, which store recorded agent conversations and their working folders.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying session browsing, moving, copying, or forking features, especially code that rewrites recorded working-folder paths.
Why use it?
They define the project’s scope, architecture, and safety requirements so changes preserve session data and create backups before edits.

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

codex-session-tui 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 3d 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.

Project Purpose

codex-session-explorer is a Rust TUI for inspecting and remapping Codex sessions stored in ~/.codex/sessions. The key use case is recovering sessions after repository/folder moves by rewriting recorded cwd fields.

Current Scope

  • Parse Codex session JSONL files.
  • Group sessions by cwd.
  • Interactive TUI browsing (projects, sessions, preview).
  • Session operations: move, copy, fork across folder contexts.

Architecture

  • Runtime: single binary (src/main.rs) using ratatui + crossterm.
  • Data source: filesystem scan of ${CODEX_HOME:-~/.codex}/sessions.
  • Persistence model:
    • move: in-place JSONL rewrite + backup
    • copy/fork: write new JSONL file under current date path

Safety Rules

  • Never mutate a session file without creating a backup first.
  • Use atomic writes (tmp + rename) for all file writes.
  • Preserve unknown JSON fields when rewriting; only touch targeted keys (cwd, and fork metadata keys).
  • Keep operations local and deterministic; no network side effects.

Developer Workflow

  1. Run cargo check before finalizing changes.
  2. Keep UI keybindings visible in the status/footer region.
  3. Prefer incremental, reviewable changes; avoid broad refactors unless needed for correctness.
  4. Document any behavior changes in README.md.

Test-First Protocol

Use a strict test-first loop for all non-trivial changes (especially TUI rendering, scrolling, and session rewrite logic):

  1. Write a failing test that captures the exact behavior gap before implementing the fix.
  2. Implement the smallest change necessary to make that test pass.
  3. Run the narrowest relevant test target first, then full cargo test.
  4. Refactor only after tests pass, and keep behavior unchanged.
  5. Add regression tests for any bug fixed from real usage reports.

Coverage expectations:

  • Unit tests for pure logic: parsing, filtering, scoring, row mapping, rewrite transforms.
  • Integration tests for end-to-end behavior: preview composition, search/filter flows, session operations.
  • For TUI bugs, include tests that assert scroll/index mapping and wrapped-line behavior assumptions.

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.
