What is ci-channel AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for a plugin that sends continuous-integration and continuous-delivery notifications into active Claude Code sessions. Continuous integration checks code changes automatically, while delivery workflows build or release software.

Use it when changing the plugin’s MCP server, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Gitea Actions integrations, configuration loading, or related tests and documentation.

It gives coding agents the project’s layout, configuration rules, and implementation references so they can work consistently on the notification plugin.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01697	$0.01697
Opus 5.5	$0.00679	$0.00679
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00339	$0.00339
Haiku 4.5	$0.00170	$0.00170

Security

Grade A, and why

ci-channel 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.

ci-channel - AI Agent Instructions

Note: This file follows the AGENTS.md standard for cross-tool compatibility with Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and other AI coding assistants. A Claude Code-specific version is maintained in CLAUDE.md.

Project Overview

A Claude Code channel plugin that delivers real-time CI/CD notifications into running Claude Code sessions. Supports GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Gitea Actions. Built with the MCP (Model Context Protocol) SDK and published on npm as ci-channel.

This project uses Codev for AI-assisted development.

Architecture

See codev/resources/arch.md for the full architecture document.

Key components:

server.ts — MCP server entry point + setup subcommand dispatch
lib/forge.ts — Forge interface (strategy pattern for multi-forge support)
lib/forges/github.ts — GitHub Actions forge (HMAC-SHA256, workflow_run, gh CLI)
lib/forges/gitlab.ts — GitLab CI forge (token validation, Pipeline Hook, glab CLI)
lib/forges/gitea.ts — Gitea Actions forge (HMAC-SHA256, workflow_run, fetch API)
lib/config.ts — Configuration loading (CLI args + env vars + .env file)
lib/bootstrap.ts — First-run auto-provisioning (secret generation, smee channel, setup notification)
lib/handler.ts — Webhook handler pipeline (validate → dedup → filter → notify)
lib/webhook.ts — Signature validation, event parsing, deduplication
lib/notify.ts — Notification formatting and sanitization
lib/reconcile.ts — Startup reconciliation and job enrichment
lib/project-root.ts — Walk-up project root detection (.mcp.json / .git)
lib/state.ts — Plugin state persistence (state.json read/write)
lib/setup.ts — ci-channel setup installer — supports all three forges and Codev auto-integration (Spec 5 + Spec 7, ≤300 lines, single file, no DI)

Configuration

State is project-scoped as of v0.2.0. Each project gets its own <project-root>/.claude/channels/ci/state.json and <project-root>/.claude/channels/ci/.env. Project root is detected via findProjectRoot() (walks up for .mcp.json or .git/).

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.
