What is 2026-Boilerplate AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for a full-stack TypeScript and React web app with an Express backend, including its development setup and reusable task guides called skills.

Use them when developing the boilerplate or carrying out one of its listed migrations, features, or policy-page updates.

They tell a coding agent how the project is organized and which documented procedures apply to tasks such as redesigns, authentication, forms, redirects, and data fetching.

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	$0.01506	$0.01506
Opus 5	$0.00753	$0.00753
Sonnet 5	$0.00301	$0.00301
Haiku 4.5	$0.00151	$0.00151

Security

Grade A, and why

2026-Boilerplate 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 7d 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.

Skills live in skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md.
If a request matches a skill, read and follow that skill before implementing changes.
skills/rebrand/SKILL.md — Rebrand the boilerplate into a new project using a new site title and description.
skills/hidden-admin-auth/SKILL.md — Configure the private section as a hidden admin utility and rotate hardcoded default credentials safely.
skills/migrate-design-system-to-shadcn/SKILL.md — Migrate UI from Chakra to shadcn/ui and fully remove Chakra dependencies.
skills/add-form-manager/SKILL.md — Introduce React Hook Form + Zod with typed, reusable form validation patterns.
skills/policy-guide/SKILL.md — Maintain the combined policy-writing guide page and keep routes/tests/docs aligned.
skills/add-redirect/SKILL.md — Add or update URL redirects with status-code guidance and E2E coverage.
skills/migrate-api-to-tanstack-query/SKILL.md — Migrate REST client usage to TanStack Query with caching and staged rollout.
skills/migrate-api-to-graphql-client/SKILL.md — Migrate REST client usage to a GraphQL client path with incremental parity checks.
skills/migrate-ci-github-to-gitlab/SKILL.md — Replace GitHub Actions CI with GitLab CI/CD while preserving lint, typecheck, and Playwright E2E.
skills/api-first/SKILL.md — OpenAPI contract in docs/openapi.yaml, regenerate types into src/generated/api/, keep imports aligned.

Development Setup

Requires Node.js >= 24.13.1 and npm >= 11.10.1
Copy .envTemplate to .env if .env doesn't exist
Run npm install
Run npm run dev to start the dev server on port 3000

Key Commands

npm run dev — development server (Express + Vite HMR)
npm run lint / npm run lint:fix — ESLint
npm run type-check — TypeScript type verification
npm run build — production build
npm run test — Full suite: lint + type-check + unit + E2E
npm run test:unit — Vitest unit tests (no dev server needed)
npm run test:e2e — Playwright E2E tests (dev server starts automatically via webServer config)

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.
