AGENTS.md

metapowers AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from bromso/metapowers. It costs 988 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using metapowers, a project containing guided workflows across ten professional domains. They list commands for design, research, and development, such as planning a feature or testing a component.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to start domain workflows, follow phases such as research discovery or development planning, and create the project’s documented outputs.
Why use it?
They help an agent choose the relevant workflow and understand what each command is meant to produce.

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

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

metapowers 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 this file has done since we first saw it
