codex-toolkit: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

codex-toolkit AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit. It costs 403 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for the Codex Toolkit, a collection of reusable coding-agent skills, agents, routing, installation, and evaluation tools. They define ownership, safety, and update rules for changes in that repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying the Codex Toolkit, its agent guidance, managed AGENTS.md files, routing, or release behavior.
Why use it?
They help contributors place changes in the right skill or router and avoid bypassing safety checks or duplicating existing workflows.

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

This is cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on codex-toolkit 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 codex-toolkit 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

codex-toolkit 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 yesterday.

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.

Codex Toolkit agent instructions

Purpose

This repository defines reusable Codex skills, agents, routing, installation, and evaluation behavior. Keep repository guidance small and durable; detailed task procedures belong in the relevant skill, orchestration document, script, or runbook.

Core invariants

  • Route to the smallest specialist/workflow that owns the task. Do not turn optional workflow edges into mandatory chains.
  • Repository-local AGENTS.md instructions remain authoritative over generic toolkit guidance.
  • Specialist safety, approval, migration, and stop conditions cannot be bypassed by orchestration or completion helpers.
  • unlazy owns completion discipline; verification-and-release owns integrated ship/no-ship judgment. Keep those responsibilities distinct.
  • Managed global AGENTS.md installation must preserve all user content outside the toolkit markers and fail closed on malformed/duplicate managed blocks.
  • Auto-update behavior follows published releases, not unreleased main commits.

Changes

  • Prefer editing an existing skill or router when the concept already has an owner; avoid overlapping skills with near-identical triggers.
  • Keep skill descriptions precise about when the skill applies. Put long procedures and references behind progressive disclosure instead of front-loading them into descriptions or global routing.
  • Do not encode model weaknesses as permanent ceremony when the behavior can be expressed as a durable constraint, permission boundary, trigger, or completion condition.
  • Preserve installer idempotence, custom CODEX_HOME, and cross-platform behavior when changing packaging or setup code.

Verification

Use the narrowest relevant checks while iterating. Before an integrated toolkit change is complete, run the repository-provided validation for the affected skills/routing/installer and the normal package/CI checks. Do not weaken validators to make a new skill or workflow pass.

Completion

A toolkit change is complete when routing remains unambiguous, installation/update behavior is preserved, affected validators/evaluations pass, public docs reflect user-visible changes, and any compatibility or rollout risk is stated explicitly.

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.
