What is autonomous-rag AGENTS.md?

A repository guide for Ruflo, covering project rules, folder organization, and communication between named coding agents. It describes a coordinated workflow in which agents pass findings from research through design, implementation, testing, and review.

Use it when coordinating multiple agents, assigning repository work, following the project's file and security rules, or passing results between workflow stages.

It helps teams of agents work within the repository's constraints and prevents conflicting or poorly placed changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01668	$0.01668
Opus 5.5	$0.00667	$0.00667
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00334	$0.00334
Haiku 4.5	$0.00167	$0.00167

Security

Grade A, and why

autonomous-rag 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.

Rules

Do what has been asked; nothing more, nothing less
NEVER create files unless absolutely necessary — prefer editing existing files
NEVER create documentation files unless explicitly requested
NEVER save working files or tests to root — use /src, /tests, /docs, /config, /scripts
ALWAYS read a file before editing it
NEVER commit secrets, credentials, or .env files
Keep files under 500 lines
Validate input at system boundaries

Agent Comms (SendMessage-First Coordination)

Named agents coordinate via SendMessage, not polling or shared state.

Lead (you) ←→ architect ←→ developer ←→ tester ←→ reviewer
              (named agents message each other directly)

Spawning a Coordinated Team

// ALL agents in ONE message, each knows WHO to message next
Agent({ prompt: "Research the codebase. SendMessage findings to 'architect'.",
  subagent_type: "researcher", name: "researcher", run_in_background: true })
Agent({ prompt: "Wait for 'researcher'. Design solution. SendMessage to 'coder'.",
  subagent_type: "system-architect", name: "architect", run_in_background: true })
Agent({ prompt: "Wait for 'architect'. Implement it. SendMessage to 'tester'.",
  subagent_type: "coder", name: "coder", run_in_background: true })
Agent({ prompt: "Wait for 'coder'. Write tests. SendMessage results to 'reviewer'.",
  subagent_type: "tester", name: "tester", run_in_background: true })
Agent({ prompt: "Wait for 'tester'. Review code quality and security.",
  subagent_type: "reviewer", name: "reviewer", run_in_background: true })

// Kick off the pipeline
SendMessage({ to: "researcher", summary: "Start", message: "[task context]" })

Patterns

Pattern	Flow	Use When
Pipeline	A → B → C → D	Sequential dependencies (feature dev)
Fan-out	Lead → A, B, C → Lead	Independent parallel work (research)
Supervisor	Lead ↔ workers	Ongoing coordination (complex refactor)

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.
