open-brane: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

open-brane AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from cgallic/open-brane. It costs 204 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository-specific instructions for improving Open Brane, an everyday workspace for projects, research, notes, decisions, documents, and information carried between sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Open Brane to check owner isolation, saved-work retrieval, canonical write paths, revision checks, and existing general-purpose workflows.
Why use it?
It keeps changes focused on making saved work easier to find and resume while preserving existing data, settings, tools, and document history. It also warns against treating scripted demonstrations as autonomous work.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is cgallic/open-brane's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on open-brane 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 open-brane 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

open-brane 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 15d 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 it actually says

Open Brane product priorities

Open Brane is actively used as its owner's everyday Brain. Improvements must make that daily use easier while preserving its general-purpose capabilities.

  • Keep projects, research, notes, decisions, saved documents, and cross-session context central to the product.
  • Treat CRM, outreach, and other vertical workflows as optional integrations. Do not replace the general workspace with a vertical-specific interface or positioning.
  • Make saved work easy to discover and resume. Distinguish explicitly saved next actions from inferred progress or suggestions.
  • Preserve existing configurations, data, MCP tools, checkpoints, and document revisions. Do not seed real deployments with synthetic personal records.
  • Prefer additive changes and read-only views when improving discovery. Keep writes on the existing canonical paths and retain revision checks.
  • Verify owner isolation, saved-work retrieval, and existing general-purpose workflows alongside any integration-specific behavior.
  • Describe demonstrations accurately: scripted clients are not autonomous agents, reported interactions are not verified deliveries, and advisory checks do not authorize external actions.
Changes

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.
