vc-gin-api: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

vc-gin-api AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from bg-vc/vc-gin-api. It costs 297 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for a Go web API that keeps requests organized as router, handler, service, data-access object, and MySQL database layers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing routes, HTTP handlers, business logic, database queries, Redis support, or focused Go tests.
Why use it?
It helps contributors make small, readable changes while preserving the API’s existing behavior and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is bg-vc/vc-gin-api's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on vc-gin-api 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 vc-gin-api 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

vc-gin-api 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 2mo 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.

vc-gin-api agent guide

Read README.md before changing this repository.

Product rule: SIMPLE

This repository teaches people who are learning Go or moving to Go. Keep the request path visible:

Router -> Handler -> Service -> DAO -> MySQL
  • Prefer changing an existing file over creating a new package.
  • Do not add an interface, framework, generator, or abstraction until real duplication requires it.
  • Prefer the Go standard library when it keeps the code easier to read.
  • Keep handlers responsible for HTTP, services responsible for decisions, and DAOs responsible for SQL.
  • Pass dependencies through small constructors. Do not add global mutable state or a DI container.
  • Keep Redis optional. The account and user APIs must work without it.
  • Never log passwords, tokens, database DSNs, or secret configuration values.
  • Preserve the six documented API paths unless a task explicitly requests a breaking change.

Change workflow

  1. Trace the current request from router/ through handler/, service/, and dao/.
  2. Make the smallest complete vertical change.
  3. Add or update a focused test next to the changed behavior.
  4. Run:
gofmt -w main.go dao handler model pkg router service
go vet ./...
go test ./...
govulncheck ./...
  1. In the handoff, explain the request path and why no extra abstraction was needed.
Changes

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.
