DarwinRelay AGENTS.md

DarwinRelay AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dcierra/DarwinRelay. It costs 3,046 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository instructions for coding agents working on DarwinRelay, a macOS runtime that lets software use tools such as shell commands, files, browsers, and desktop controls.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as guidance before making non-trivial changes in the DarwinRelay repository.
Why use it?
It tells agents what the project does, which files to read first, and how to respect its authority and security boundaries.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

DarwinRelay 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 3d 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 — 229 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

This file is the primary repository guide for coding agents working on DarwinRelay. Read it before modifying code. Human-facing product documentation starts in README.md; runtime architecture and security details live under docs/ and in SECURITY.md.

What DarwinRelay is

DarwinRelay is a macOS MCP execution runtime. It intentionally exposes broad local authority to an MCP client: shell/filesystem operations, real PTYs, long-running jobs, persisted Codex history, a managed background Chrome workspace, and native desktop control through Accessibility, ScreenCaptureKit, Vision and CoreGraphics.

It is not a sandbox. Security work in this repository is about making powerful authority explicit, bounded, auditable and fail-closed — not pretending arbitrary shell access is contained.

Read these files first

For any non-trivial task, inspect:

  1. README.md — product surface and user workflows.
  2. AGENTS.md — coding-agent rules and repository map.
  3. SECURITY.md — trust boundaries and failure semantics.
  4. docs/ARCHITECTURE.md — component/data-flow architecture.
  5. docs/AGENT_OPERATIONS.md — runtime tool catalog and agent operating guidance.
  6. docs/DESKTOP_CONTROL.md — native UI control model and limitations.
  7. docs/DEVELOPMENT_MODEL.md — canonical public/private/upstream workflow and history mapping.
  8. UPSTREAM.md — upstream lineage and attribution policy.

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.
