rhetoric-engine: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

rhetoric-engine AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Biolytics-AI/rhetoric-engine. It costs 108 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a presentation system that helps an agent plan persuasive slide decks. It requires agreement on the presentation’s purpose, argument, and slide plan before creating the deck.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide substantial presentation work and route tasks through the repository’s presentation-planning stages.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from producing slides before the message and structure are settled. The supplied text does not describe the presentation system’s other capabilities.

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

rhetoric-engine 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Biolytics Rhetoric Engine

Use this repository as an installable agent skill package for presentation cognition. For substantial presentation work, start with:

  • skills/rhetorical-orchestrator/SKILL.md

Then route to the named stage skills under skills/. The core rule is simple: do not produce a deck until the user has approved the intent, insight, argument spine, and slide thesis map.

For install instructions across Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and generic agents, see INSTALL.md.

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.
