probing: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

probing AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from DeepLink-org/probing. It costs 3,615 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for probing, a system organized into layers for data collection, storage, control, and user-facing diagnostics. It defines where different kinds of changes belong and how modules should interact.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding metrics, data collectors, server or CLI behavior, diagnostic skills, or other changes to the probing project.
Why use it?
It reduces tightly coupled code and unnecessary changes by keeping responsibilities within clear module boundaries.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is DeepLink-org/probing's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on probing 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 probing 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

probing 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 2mo 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.

Agent instructions — probing

This repository uses the Agent Skills layout for training diagnostics.

Module boundaries

Before adding code, read docs/src/design/modularity.md (中文: modularity.zh.md).

Layer Where Your change belongs if…
L1 Platform probing/core, memtable, proto SQL engine, federation, storage format
L2 Collectors probing/extensions/*, python/probing/profiling New metrics / tables
L3 Control probing/server, probing/cli HTTP, inject, fan-out
L4 Experience skills/, web/, Python hooks Diagnostics UX, skills, UI

Contracts: ProbeDataSource (tables), ProbeExtension (config/HTTP), @table (Python data), skills/*/steps.yaml (workflows). Do not add cross-collector calls — use SQL JOINs.

Coding principles

These rules extend docs/src/design/modularity.md. Read that doc for layer ownership and dependency direction; follow the rules below on every change.

Minimal diff (pragmatic)

  • Solve the stated problem only. No cross-module drive-by refactors, renames, or formatting.
  • In touched files, necessary follow-on edits are OK — fix what the change breaks in the same module; do not expand scope to unrelated modules.
  • One concern per PR. A bug fix should not also add a feature; a skill SQL tweak should not also change server routing.
  • Composition stays at the root. New wiring belongs in probing/server/src/engine.rs (or the relevant composition root), not sprinkled across L2 collectors.
  • Prefer under 500 lines diff. Larger PRs need a short justification in the description.

Refactoring in the same PR is allowed only when under 50 lines and confined to one module/crate. Larger refactors → separate PR first.

High cohesion, low diffusion

Each crate / directory owns one concern end-to-end. Default: ≤2 modules/crates per PR. A third module is OK with justification in the PR description.

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.
