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

This is chriswritescode-dev/opencode-forge's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on opencode-forge 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 opencode-forge 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

opencode-forge 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 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.

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.

Repository Guide

Toolchain and checks

  • Install with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile; pnpm-lock.yaml is canonical. Bun is still required because build, setup, and dashboard scripts run through it—do not substitute bun install.
  • Full verification: pnpm build && pnpm typecheck && pnpm lint && pnpm test. Build must precede tests because test/dashboard/app-bundle.test.ts rejects a stale source hash.
  • Focus a Node test with pnpm test --project node test/path.test.ts; add -t "test name" for one case. Run dashboard DOM tests with pnpm test --project dom test/dashboard/app-dom.test.ts. The dom project is the only happy-dom suite; all other tests use the node project and a bun:sqlite shim.
  • pnpm typecheck covers src/, not tests or scripts. ESLint also ignores tests and generated dashboard files.

Package surfaces

  • Server plugin src/index.ts — published as root (.) and ./server alias. TUI plugin src/tui.tsx. Installer CLI src/install/cli.ts (bin). Standalone dashboard via pnpm dashboard (scripts/dashboard.ts); not a package export.
  • src/index.ts is the server entry; the host-neutral composition root is createForgeCore in src/host/forge-core.ts, wrapped by the OpenCode 2.x adapter in src/host/v2.ts. Forge supports OpenCode 2.x only. Core boundaries: src/loop/ (runtime/state machine), src/storage/ (database and repositories), src/tools/ (OpenCode tools), src/agents/ (agent definitions).

Generated and bundled files

  • pnpm build rewrites src/version.ts, src/dashboard/marked-source.ts, and src/dashboard/app-bundle.ts. Edit package.json, src/dashboard/marked.min.js, or src/dashboard/app/ respectively, never the generated files.
  • pnpm build removes the output directory before compiling (scripts/build.ts), so deleting or renaming source modules cannot leave stale output in dist/.
  • scripts/build.ts runs tsc first, then Bun.build overwrites dist/index.js (server) and dist/tui.js (TUI) with self-contained bundles. Both must stay bundled so the plugin loads without resolving node_modules; the vendored installer mode (bunx opencode-forge --vendor) depends on it. @opentui/*, @opencode/plugin/tui, solid-js, and bun:sqlite stay external because opencode's runtime provides them. Import other @opencode/* packages type-only (the FORGE_RPC contract is a plain object checked with satisfies) so their runtime stays out of the bundles.
  • resolveShippedRoot in src/utils/shipped-paths.ts is the only way to locate shipped files on disk. Never derive paths from import.meta.url directly: bundling collapses it, which would silently break the migration SQL loader, prompt loading, and bundled-asset sync.
  • Bundled prompts (src/prompts/) and skills (skills/) sync on every plugin load, preserving user edits. The standalone installer handles conflicts and orphan pruning.
  • docs/api/ is generated by pnpm docs:api (typedoc, cleanOutputDir: true), including the docs/api/_media/ copies of docs/*.md. Edit docs/*.md and regenerate; never hand-edit or hand-copy anything under docs/api/.
  • The section-summary block template is the single SECTION_SUMMARY_TEMPLATE in src/loop/prompts.ts, built from the marker constants in src/utils/section-summary.ts; do not hand-write the marker strings into prompt markdown files or other prompt builders.

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.
