ame-skill: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ame-skill AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from CSKishan/ame-skill. It costs 1,499 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Documentation for two VS Code GitHub Copilot Chat skills: one gathers detailed requirements, and the other turns those requirements into a structured implementation plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interview a project owner, create a specification, analyze affected architecture layers, and execute a plan chunk by chunk or all at once.
Why use it?
It closes missing-requirement gaps before coding and breaks work into dependency-ordered chunks, reducing unclear specifications and rushed implementation.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is CSKishan/ame-skill's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ame-skill 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 ame-skill 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

ame-skill 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 1mo 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.

AME + EMA — Agent Pipeline Documentation

What Is This?

Two VS Code Copilot Chat skills that work as a pipeline:

/ame  →  single compiled interview  →  .ame/spec.md
/ema  →  layer analysis             →  .ame/plan.md  →  chunked execution

/ame (Ask Me Exhaustively) closes the requirement gap before any code is written. It compiles all applicable interview questions into one message across five quality dimensions — tech stack, architecture, security, quality, and edge cases — and produces a structured spec file from your answers. Total exchanges: 2–3.

/ema (Enclose My Analysis) reads that spec, identifies which architectural layers the project spans, and generates a dependency-ordered, chunked implementation plan. It offers chunk-by-chunk execution (with per-chunk confirmation) or a "run all" mode for one-shot execution.


Requirements

  • VS Code with GitHub Copilot Chat
  • Agent mode — both skills write files to the workspace; Ask mode is not sufficient
  • Optional: context7 MCP server for live library documentation during the interview

Install

Manual

  1. Clone or download this repository
  2. Copy skills/ame/SKILL.md to your agents skills folder:
    • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.agents\skills\ame\SKILL.md
    • macOS/Linux: ~/.agents/skills/ame/SKILL.md
  3. Copy skills/ema/SKILL.md to:
    • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.agents\skills\ema\SKILL.md
    • macOS/Linux: ~/.agents/skills/ema/SKILL.md
  4. Restart VS Code

Via skills CLI

npx skills add github:CSKishan/ame-skill

Usage

Full workflow

1. Open VS Code Copilot Chat in Agent mode
2. Describe what you want to build, then invoke:

   /ame I want to build a REST API for managing IoT device telemetry

3. AME detects scope, compiles all applicable dimension questions into
   one message. Answer everything at once — free-form or labelled.

4. AME processes your answers, writes .ame/spec.md, and presents a
   plain-English summary. Confirm it or correct anything in one reply.

5. When done, invoke:

   /ema

6. EMA reads .ame/spec.md, generates .ame/plan.md,
   shows a chunk summary, and waits for your confirmation to execute.

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.
