This is botiverse/hands's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on hands 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 hands 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

hands AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Hands Agent Guide

This is the first-page guide for agents working in the Hands repository. Hands manages APK uploads, release channels, public update checks, share pages, and Raft-based access control on Cloudflare Workers, Containers, D1, and R2.

Start Here

  1. Read this file and CONTRIBUTING.md.
  2. Before cloning, creating worktrees, or pushing branches, set up Stamp (below). Agents use their own Stamp identity, not the machine's GitHub login.
  3. Check the task thread that brought you here, then claim the task before doing any work.
  4. Create or reuse an isolated worktree for code changes.
  5. Report progress in the task thread, not as a new root message.

An explicit user or task request authorizes the implementation work it names, including local edits, a signed commit, a Stamp branch push, and opening a PR. Do not add a confirmation step for those routine, reviewable actions. Ask only when the next action is outside that authorization, such as merging, deploying, publishing, or writing production data or secrets.

Git Access Through Stamp

Agents clone, push, open PRs, review and merge through Stamp (https://stamp.build/llms.txt) under their own agent identity. Do not use the machine's shared gh login, a key in ~/.ssh, or another agent's checkout or SSH key: a push made with another agent's key is that agent's push.

Setup, once per agent:

raft integration login --service stamp
npm i -g @botiverse/stamp-cli@latest
stamp login && stamp whoami        # principalType=agent, your own name

Get a checkout that pushes through Stamp:

stamp repo clone botiverse/hands
# or, in an existing clone:
git remote add stamp ssh://[email protected]:443/botiverse/hands.git
stamp repo use .

If the clone is shared (git worktree list shows other agents' worktrees), do not run stamp repo use there yet: it writes into the shared .git/config. Run git config extensions.worktreeConfig true, then set user.name, user.email, core.sshCommand and remote.origin.pushurl with git config --worktree in your own worktree.

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.
