automate-development-with-agents AGENTS.md

automate-development-with-agents AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from CodeSeoul/automate-development-with-agents. It costs 724 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents that explain how to understand, edit, and verify code while following the project's existing conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide agents before and during code changes, including which files to inspect, how much to change, and which builds, tests, or linters to run.
Why use it?
They reduce accidental refactoring, inconsistent formatting, and unverified claims about completed work.

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

automate-development-with-agents 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Instructions for any AI agent working in this repository. Keep this file short and precise — every line should change agent behavior. If a line wouldn't cause a mistake when removed, delete it.

Working principles

  • Understand before changing. Read the relevant code and existing patterns before editing. Match the conventions already in the file you're touching.
  • Smallest change that works. Don't refactor, rename, or reformat code you weren't asked to touch. Keep diffs focused on the task.
  • Verify your work. Run the relevant build, tests, and linter before claiming a task is done. Report failures honestly with the actual output — never assert success you didn't confirm.
  • Ask when genuinely blocked. If requirements are ambiguous in a way that changes the outcome, ask. Otherwise pick the sensible default and state the assumption.

Conventions

  • Follow the language and formatting already used in each file (indentation, quotes, naming). When in doubt, copy the nearest existing example.
  • Comments explain why, not what. Match the surrounding comment density — don't add narration to self-explanatory code.
  • Keep functions small and named for what they do. Prefer clarity over cleverness.

Prohibitions (each paired with what to do instead)

  • Don't use an agent to do a linter's job. Run the project's formatter/linter rather than hand-fixing style.
  • Don't commit secrets or credentials. Read config from environment variables; add new secrets to .gitignore-d files only.
  • Don't commit or push unless asked. Make the change, verify it, and let the user review. When asked to commit, never use --no-verify — fix what the hooks flag.
  • Don't leave dead code or commented-out blocks. Delete what you replace; git history preserves it.
  • Don't suppress errors to make output clean. Surface the failure and fix the cause.

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.
