BIRD.skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

BIRD.skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from bird-chinese-community/BIRD.skills. It costs 1,795 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for working on BIRD, a routing-daemon project used to manage network routes. It includes separate guidance for checking code, installing editor support, configuring GitHub Actions, exploring source code, and troubleshooting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate BIRD 2 or 3 projects, install or migrate BIRD editor tools, build CI workflows, trace implementation details at a specific source revision, or investigate routing-daemon incidents.
Why use it?
It helps the agent choose the right task-specific guidance when working in BIRD projects. It also identifies the related projects that provide the authoritative source for tools and workflows.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; $skill-name invocation; mentions Gemini CLI.

This is bird-chinese-community/BIRD.skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on BIRD.skills 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 BIRD.skills 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

BIRD.skills 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 9d 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.

Agent Guide for BIRD Skills

This repository publishes five Agent Skills for BIRD routing-daemon projects. It contains static skill assets, Python helper scripts, plugin manifests, and an optional documentation-query MCP server. There is no application server.

Skills

Skill Responsibility
bird-agent Discover, lint, format, and validate BIRD 2/3 projects
birdcc-installer Install and migrate editor support and @birdcc/cli
birdcc-cicd Build GitHub Actions with setup-birdcc
bird-source-explorer Trace BIRD implementation at exact source revisions
bird-troubleshooting Diagnose incidents across discovery, parsing, runtime, and source

Keep these boundaries explicit. Route a request to the narrowest matching skill instead of duplicating full workflows across manifests.

Upstream sources of truth

Adjacent checkouts may be used for live verification:

  • ../BIRD-LSP@birdcc/*, CLI, schema, LSP, VS Code extension and extension pack
  • ../setup-birdcc — composite action inputs, outputs, scripts, and workflow examples
  • ../BIRD2.nvim / ../BIRD2.vim — local checkout names; inspect origin/main for the renamed BIRD.nvim / BIRD.vim release contract when branches diverge
  • ../BIRD-tm-language-grammar — shared TextMate grammar and JetBrains import path
  • ../vscode-bird2 — standalone syntax extension
  • ../BIRD2 / ../BIRD3 — daemon source trees for version-specific evidence

Prefer source, manifests, schema, and tests over README prose. Record branch, commit, and dirty state before citing a neighboring checkout.

Current contracts

  • bird.config.json is canonical; birdcc.config.json is a compatibility alias.
  • birdcc init . --dry-run --json is the read-only project detector.
  • birdcc lint --json returns an object containing a diagnostics array.
  • Cross-file analysis is enabled by default.
  • birdcc fmt --check is read-only; writes require explicit user approval.
  • The modern toolchain targets BIRD 2/3. BIRD 1 is best-effort and must be checked with the actual legacy binary.
  • VS Code language tooling is birdcc.bird2-lsp; TextMate syntax is birdcc.vscode-bird2-conf; the convenience pack is birdcc.bird2-extension-pack.
  • BIRD.nvim and BIRD.vim are current repository names. The bird2 runtime identifiers remain compatible.
  • JetBrains uses an imported TextMate bundle. Do not advertise dev.birdcc.idea.
  • setup-birdcc checks out by default and does not guarantee a global birdcc.
  • The published action ref is [email protected]; do not emit the currently absent @v1 major tag without re-verifying it.
  • There is no cache-pnpm input; pnpm-store caching is automatic when dependency installation is enabled, while cache-turbo controls only Turbo cache.

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.
