nxvm: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

nxvm AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from cshaxu/nxvm. It costs 281 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of execution instructions for coding agents working in the nxvm repository. It defines which project documents are authoritative, what must be read before tasks, and rules for handling sources, sibling repositories, protected files, and changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before making repository changes, especially when reading project documentation, importing research or source material, handling firmware or Microsoft components, or recording task artifacts and completion evidence.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from relying on outdated or unofficial instructions. It also reduces the risk of importing restricted material, changing read-only repositories, or skipping required task evidence.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is cshaxu/nxvm's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on nxvm 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 nxvm 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

nxvm 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 20d 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.

What it actually says

Agent Instructions

Before changing a product, read its guide (docs/nxvm/README.md, docs/mynes/README.md or docs/myraidenii/README.md), its active packet, and every authority named by its S brief. Read the shared rules under docs/rules/ that the product guide names.

Authority

  • The authorities selected by the Task Reading Set are the project authorities. This file is an execution pointer and must not be used as a second architecture, policy, or status source.
  • Sibling repositories are read-only unless an approved task explicitly authorizes an import into this repository.
  • Read the selected product's source-and-research policy before importing, deriving, or researching source, firmware, media, ROMs, Microsoft components, or third-party code. Do not commit protected media, firmware, ROMs, Microsoft binaries, machine-local paths, or unreviewed third-party code.

Execution

  • docs/<product>/states/CURRENT.md holds that product's active packet. Follow docs/rules/EXECUTION.md for task allocation, evidence, artifacts, and closure.
  • Apply the relevant architecture, coding, source, and documentation rules; record any owner-approved exception with the task evidence.
  • Preserve unrelated changes and avoid destructive Git operations.

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.
