pi-codemode: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

pi-codemode AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from boozedog/pi-codemode. It costs 762 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for pi-codemode that require test-driven development, or TDD: write a failing test first, make the smallest change that passes it, then refactor. They identify the QuickJS JavaScript executor as the current main product path.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the executor, type generation, command quoting, configuration merging, bridge behavior, or the QuickJS MVP path.
Why use it?
They keep new behavior and bug fixes covered by focused tests and prevent broad changes before their expected behavior is checked.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is boozedog/pi-codemode's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on pi-codemode 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 pi-codemode 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

pi-codemode 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.

pi-codemode Agent Instructions

Development approach: TDD first

All new behavior must be developed test-first.

  1. Write or update a focused failing test that describes the desired behavior.
  2. Run the relevant test command and confirm it fails for the expected reason.
  3. Implement the smallest change that can make the test pass.
  4. Run the test again and confirm it passes.
  5. Refactor only after tests are green.
  6. Repeat in small slices.

Do not add broad implementation before there is a failing test covering the behavior.

Test expectations

  • Prefer small unit tests for executor, type generation, command quoting, config merging, and bridge behavior.
  • Add integration tests for cross-component workflows only after the involved units are covered.
  • For bug fixes, first add a regression test that fails on the current code.
  • Tests should assert observable behavior, not implementation details, unless the detail is a security/resource-safety requirement.

Current MVP priority

The main MVP path is the QuickJS executor:

  • QuickJS is the default executor target.
  • Deno is optional/future and should stay behind the executor interface.
  • Do not add a Node VM executor for MVP.
  • Generated code should only access explicit globals: codemode, $, shell, print, and π.
  • Host tool calls must support async success, async failure, concurrency, timeout/cancellation, and clean runtime/context disposal.

Required QuickJS executor test slices

Before expanding executor features, keep these behaviors covered by tests:

  • returns primitive and object values
  • captures print / console output
  • injects π string constants
  • awaits one async host tool call
  • resolves many concurrent host tool calls via Promise.all
  • propagates rejected host calls to the guest promise
  • supports nested MCP-style namespaces, e.g. mcp.github.search_issues(...)
  • times out runaway code
  • does not expose Node or host globals such as process, require, filesystem, environment, network, or subprocess APIs
  • releases QuickJS runtime/context memory cleanly after execution

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.
