cli-gateway AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for cli-gateway, a service that connects chat channels such as Discord and Telegram to coding agents. It also describes the project structure, database, scheduling, permissions, and user-interface modes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing cli-gateway, including its chat adapters, agent sessions, SQLite data, scheduler, permission controls, or restart scripts.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project context and file locations they need before editing this multi-part system. This lowers the risk of changing the wrong component or violating its permission rules.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

cli-gateway 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 2d 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 (cli-gateway)

This file is for coding agents (Codex/Claude/etc) working in this repository.

Project summary

cli-gateway is a chat-channel ↔ ACP (Agent Client Protocol) gateway with:

  • Discord + Telegram + Feishu adapters
  • Per-binding ACP stdio runtime isolation (one agent process per binding)
  • SQLite persistence (sessions/bindings/runs/events/jobs)
  • Deny-by-default tool execution via ACP session/request_permission (interactive buttons on DC/TG + Discord reaction shortcuts)

Key paths

  • Entry: src/main.ts
  • Router/runtime: src/gateway/router.ts, src/gateway/bindingRuntime.ts
  • ACP stdio client: src/acp/client.ts
  • DB schema/migrations: src/db/migrations.ts
  • Scheduler: src/scheduler/scheduler.ts
  • Channel sinks: src/channels/discord.ts, src/channels/telegram.ts, src/channels/feishu.ts
  • Process guard/restart bridge: scripts/run-guard.sh, scripts/restart-watcher.sh

UI

  • UI modes: verbose (default) and summary.
  • Per-conversation override: /ui verbose|summary (stored in DB ui_prefs).
  • Per-conversation runtime prefs include /workspace and /cli (persist across /new).
  • Permission allowlist can be managed per conversation via /whitelist (tool_kind + optional prefix scoped, persisted via tool_policies and tool_allow_prefixes).

Local dev

  • Install: npm i
  • Run: npm run dev
  • Build: npm run build
  • Lint: npm run lint

Config is file-based; see ~/.cli-gateway/config.json (example in skills.md).

Conventions / constraints

  • TypeScript + ESM ("type": "module"). Keep imports with .js suffix in TS source.
  • Prefer small, composable modules; avoid over-abstracting.
  • Keep tool execution deny-by-default. Any expansion of tool surface must be explicitly gated.
  • File/terminal tool calls must remain restricted to WORKSPACE_ROOT.
  • Avoid adding new dependencies unless necessary.

Persistence & migrations

  • All DB schema changes go through src/db/migrations.ts.
  • Bump LATEST_VERSION when adding a migration.
  • Migrations must be additive and safe on existing DBs.

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.
