cali: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

cali AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from callstackincubator/cali. It costs 1,720 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for AI coding agents working on the Cali project. They explain how to identify the task, understand the repository layout, and use Cali’s shared runtime and command structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding code changes in the Cali CLI, its role modules, commands, shared runtime, tools, and related documentation.
Why use it?
They help an agent begin with the right files and contracts, reducing unnecessary exploration and inconsistent changes.

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

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

cali 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.

AGENTS.md

Minimal operating guide for AI coding agents in this repo.

First 60 Seconds

  • Classify the task:
    • Info-only: do not edit code or run checks unless needed.
    • Code change: make the smallest scoped edit and run the lightest relevant validation.
  • Read at most 4 files first:
    • the owning command module
    • one role module
    • one shared runtime file
    • one relevant doc file if the CLI or context contract changes
  • Define concrete success criteria before editing.
  • Prefer the shared runtime contracts over command-local improvisation.

Repo Shape

  • packages/cali: standalone CLI role platform
  • packages/tools: reusable Cali tools for other runtimes

Cali Runtime Shape

The cali package is now a small role platform.

  • CLI entry:
    • packages/cali/src/cli.ts
    • packages/cali/src/cli/app.ts
    • packages/cali/src/cli/*.ts
  • Command orchestration:
    • packages/cali/src/commands/*.ts
  • Shared runtime:
    • packages/cali/src/runtime/types.ts
    • packages/cali/src/runtime/context.ts
    • packages/cali/src/runtime/tool-packs.ts
    • packages/cali/src/runtime/tool-loop-role.ts
    • packages/cali/src/runtime/publishers.ts
    • packages/cali/src/runtime/mobile.ts
  • Config:
    • packages/cali/src/config/schema.ts
    • packages/cali/src/config/load.ts
  • Roles:
    • packages/cali/src/roles/*.ts
  • Tool packs:
    • packages/cali/src/tools/*.ts
  • Reports:
    • packages/cali/src/report/types.ts
    • packages/cali/src/report/render.ts
    • packages/cali/src/report/publishers/*.ts

Public Commands

Implemented first-class commands:

  • qa
  • review
  • perf-review
  • dev

Current maturity:

  • qa: ship-ready
  • review: experimental
  • perf-review: experimental
  • dev: experimental

publish is intentionally not implemented. Release automation belongs in CI or in dev-driven pipeline work, not as an open-ended agent command.

Core Contracts

Local Mode

Use --local android|ios for local mobile runs.

CI metadata is detected automatically in GitHub Actions and EAS. Use --ci github-actions|eas only when you need to override detection.

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.
