monocle AGENTS.md

A repository instruction file for coding agents working on the Monocle Rust project. It lists commands for formatting, building, testing, linting, and the project's code-style rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while editing Monocle code to choose the right Cargo commands and follow its error-handling and import conventions.
Why use it?
It gives agents the exact checks expected by the project and helps prevent changes that fail its automated checks.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

monocle 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 2d 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.

Monocle - Agent Instructions

This document provides guidelines for AI coding agents working on the monocle codebase.

Build, Lint, and Test Commands

Quick Reference

# Format code (always run after editing)
cargo fmt

# Build with default features (cli)
cargo build

# Run all tests
cargo test --all-features

# Run clippy with all warnings as errors
cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings

# Run a single test by name
cargo test test_name
cargo test lens::time::tests::test_parse_unix

# Run tests for a specific module
cargo test lens::rpki

# Run tests with output visible
cargo test test_name -- --nocapture

CI Checks (run before committing)

The GitHub Actions workflow runs these checks on PRs:

cargo fmt --check              # Check formatting
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings  # Lint
cargo test --all-features --verbose         # All tests

Code Style Guidelines

Lints

The crate enforces strict lints in lib.rs:

#![deny(clippy::unwrap_used)]
#![deny(clippy::expect_used)]

Use ? operator or explicit error handling instead of .unwrap() or .expect().

Import Organization

Group imports in this order, separated by blank lines:

  1. Standard library (std::)
  2. External crates
  3. Internal crate modules (crate::, super::)

Naming Conventions

Item Convention Example
Lens struct {Name}Lens TimeLens, RpkiLens, InspectLens
Args struct {Name}{Op}Args TimeParseArgs, RpkiValidationArgs
Result struct {Name}{Op}Result As2relSearchResult, InspectResult
Module name snake_case as2rel, pfx2as, inspect
Constants SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE DEFAULT_RPKI_CACHE_TTL

Error Handling

Use anyhow::Result for lens methods with descriptive error messages:

// Good
Err(anyhow!("Invalid prefix format: {}. Expected CIDR notation (e.g., 1.1.1.0/24)", input))

// Bad
Err(anyhow!("invalid input"))

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.
