codexcw: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

codexcw AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from c3-oss/codexcw. It costs 1,621 tokens per session, scanned A, original, CC0-1.0.

Repository instructions for humans and coding agents working on c3-oss/codexcw. The project is a monorepo, meaning one repository contains several related implementations, including Go, Rust, Node.js, Python, and .NET versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents and developers decide where to make changes, run the correct language-specific checks, use shared test fixtures, and prepare compliant commits or pull requests.
Why use it?
It gives contributors one place to find the project structure, development commands, coding rules, testing guidance, and commit requirements.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; reads ~/.codex paths; runs codex exec.

This is c3-oss/codexcw's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on codexcw 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 codexcw 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

codexcw 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.

Project shape

A polyglot monorepo: five independent, idiomatic implementations of the same agent CLI wrapper — codex exec --json by default, with selectable claude and grok agents that normalize their streaming JSON into the shared event model. There is no FFI between the Go and .NET ports and the Rust side — each implementation is native to its ecosystem; they share a repo so the spec and test fixtures stay a single source of truth.

  • Go (root) — the public Go library github.com/c3-oss/codexcw. Go module at the repo root (go.mod), CGO-free. Root *.go, cmd/codexcw/ (example CLI), internal/, scripts/.
  • crates/codexcw/ — the Rust core (codexcw on crates.io), async (tokio), FFI-free.
  • bindings/node/ — napi-rs binding + npm package @c3-oss/codexcw (a hand-written index.js wraps the generated native loader).
  • bindings/python/ — PyO3 binding (_codexcw) + PyPI package codexcw (sync API in codexcw/__init__.py, asyncio facade in codexcw/aio.py).
  • dotnet/ — the native .NET port + NuGet package C3OSS.Codexcw (dotnet/Codexcw library, dotnet/Codexcw.Tests xUnit suite), FFI-free like the Go port.
  • Generated outputs (gitignored): bin/, target/, dist/, node_modules/, *.node, *.so, .venv/, dotnet/**/bin/, dotnet/**/obj/, *.nupkg.

Complete usage recipes per language (quickstart, streaming, resume, sandbox / approval, bypass, batches, structured output, errors — in both sync and async forms) live in docs/examples/{go,rust,typescript,python,csharp}.md. The Codex skill (.codex/skills/codexcw/) and the codexcw-expert Claude subagent point there.

Build, test, develop

Toolchain is pinned in devbox.json (Go + golangci-lint + goreleaser; Rust via rustup + rust-toolchain.toml; Node + pnpm; Python + uv + maturin; .NET SDK; plus the quality tools). Enter with devbox shell and run via just. Recipes are language-namespaced:

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.
