pypylon: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

pypylon AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from basler/pypylon. It costs 1,311 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Repository instructions for pypylon, the official Python wrapper around Basler's pylon camera software. They map the source bindings, generated Python modules, camera examples, tests, and build scripts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing camera bindings, rebuilding generated code, adding samples, updating tests, or working with USB and network-connected camera support.
Why use it?
They show which files are generated and which are edited by hand, reducing the risk of losing changes or placing code in the wrong part of the wrapper.

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

This is basler/pypylon's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on pypylon 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 pypylon 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

pypylon 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 15d 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.

Environment

Run all project Python commands inside the Python environment where pypylon is built/installed, so they use the correct interpreter and the matching pylon SDK. This file intentionally does not prescribe a specific environment manager (venv, conda, uv, …) — activate whichever one you use before running commands.

If pylon SDK is installed in a non-default location, set the SDK location before building from source:

  • Linux: export PYLON_ROOT=<installation directory of pylon SDK>
  • macOS: export PYLON_FRAMEWORK_LOCATION=<framework base folder that contains pylon.framework>

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.
