ChainWeaver AGENTS.md

A set of instructions for coding agents working on ChainWeaver, a Python tool that runs ordered sequences of tool calls without making decisions between them. It defines the project’s terminology, layout, and rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying ChainWeaver code, especially its flows, tools, schemas, modules, and documentation.
Why use it?
It gives agents the repository context and conventions they need to make compatible changes.

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

ChainWeaver 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 2d 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.

ChainWeaver — Agent Instructions

Single source of truth for all coding agents working on this repository. This file carries the stable global contract; path-scoped AGENTS.md files add durable local rules (see §11), and the detailed module inventory lives in docs/agent-context/module-map.md. For tool-specific wrappers, see the documentation map at the end of this file.


1. Project identity

ChainWeaver is a deterministic orchestration layer for MCP-based agents. It compiles multi-tool flows into executable sequences that run without any LLM involvement between steps.

  • Python 3.10+; from __future__ import annotations in every module.
  • Small runtime dependency set: pydantic, typer, tenacity, packaging, and deepdiff.
  • Core philosophy: compiled, not interpreted — the executor is a graph runner, not a reasoning engine.

2. Domain vocabulary

Use these terms consistently in code, docs, comments, and PR descriptions.

Canonical term Never use Meaning
flow chain, pipeline A named, ordered sequence of tool invocations (Flow)
tool function, action A named callable with Pydantic input/output schemas (Tool)

3. Repository layout

Stable top-level shape only. The full per-module inventory — every module's responsibility, exports, and issue history — is the module map (a mechanically freshness-checked reference, not 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.

ChainWeaver AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository dgenio/ChainWeaver (6 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,925 tokens to every session, about $0.0196 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
