daedalus: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

daedalus AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from bgill55/daedalus. It costs 896 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project-specific instructions for Daedalus, a TypeScript command-line coding tool that routes work between AI models, coordinates multiple agents, and indexes code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying Daedalus so imports, exports, configuration, error handling, architecture, and tests follow the repository’s rules.
Why use it?
They give an AI coding assistant the project’s conventions, structure, and testing expectations before it changes code.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is bgill55/daedalus's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on daedalus 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 daedalus 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

daedalus 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.

Daedalus — Agent Conventions

Project Identity

  • Name: Daedalus (daedalus-cli on npm)
  • Description: Local-first AI coding CLI with embedded model router, multi-agent orchestration, and codebase indexing
  • Language: TypeScript (ESM, "type": "module")
  • Node: >=20

Code Conventions

  • No comments in source files unless absolutely necessary for clarity
  • No emoji in code or docs unless user explicitly requests
  • Exports: named exports only (no default exports)
  • Types: Zod schemas in config files, interfaces in src/types.ts
  • Imports: always include .js extension in ESM imports (e.g., './file.js')
  • Error handling: throw typed errors, prefer result pattern for tool returns

Architecture

  • src/index.ts — CLI entry point, REPL loop, command dispatch
  • src/config/ — Zod-schema validated config at ~/.daedalus/config.json
  • src/router/ — Model routing (priority/round-robin/fastest), health checks, rate limiting (token bucket, no global Map)
  • src/session/ — SQLite-backed session persistence, project memory, JSONL export; DB opened via initIndexDb() factory, not at import time; sigma-mem.ts = Σ-Mem reliable memory engine (dedup via content_hash, tag-ranked retrieval, time decay), used by BOTH orchestration and single-agent paths
  • src/agents/ — Multi-agent orchestration (Daedalus/orchestrator, Themis/spec, Metis/planner, Hephaestus/coder, Apollo/reviewer, Asclepius/debugger, Mnemosyne/researcher — each role carries a divine callsign, machine key in parentheses); /autopilot command orchestrates end-to-end feature branches; loop.ts uses dynamic import() for Orchestrator, no circular dependency
  • src/marathon/ — Harness-of-Harness (HoH) multi-day autonomous software development engine; milestone DAG planning, air-gapped Apollo evaluation, git checkpoint rollbacks (daedalus-checkpoint/m-*), and Σ-Mem anti-pattern persistence
  • src/tools/ — 16 built-in tools + MCP transport (stdio + HTTP/SSE)
  • src/commands/ — Slash command definitions and domain handlers (autopilot.ts, marathon.ts, mcp.ts, hunt.ts, onboard.ts, agents.ts)
  • src/indexing/ — FTS5 codebase indexing (TS/JS, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C/C++, C#, PHP, Ruby, Elixir)

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.
