nosia: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

nosia AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dilolabs/nosia. It costs 7,549 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project guide for an AI coding assistant working on a specific Ruby on Rails application. It records the app’s technology choices, code structure, design principles, and common commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the app’s Rails conventions, choosing the right testing and authentication approach, understanding where code belongs, and using the documented development and deployment commands.
Why use it?
It gives the assistant the project’s rules in one place, reducing guesses and changes that conflict with the existing codebase.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: positional $N argument.

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

nosia 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.

37signals Rails Configuration

Tech Stack

  • Ruby 3.3, Rails 8.2 (edge), MySQL (SaaS) / SQLite (OSS)
  • Frontend: Hotwire (Turbo 8 + Stimulus 3.2), Importmap (no Node.js)
  • Testing: Minitest + Fixtures (not RSpec, not FactoryBot)
  • Auth: Custom passwordless: passkeys (WebAuthn) + magic links (no Devise), has_secure_password optional
  • Background Jobs: Solid Queue (database-backed, no Redis)
  • Caching: Solid Cache | WebSockets: Solid Cable
  • IDs: UUIDv7 everywhere (base36-encoded, 25-char strings)
  • Assets: Propshaft + Import Maps (no Node.js, no Webpack)
  • Deployment: Kamal 2 + Thruster

Architecture

app/
  controllers/     # Thin. Only 7 REST actions. New resource for each state change.
  models/          # Rich. Business logic, concerns, associations, validations.
  models/concerns/ # Horizontal behavior: Closeable, Assignable, Searchable.
  views/           # ERB + Turbo Frames/Streams. No JS frameworks.
  jobs/            # Shallow. Call model methods, don't contain logic.
  mailers/         # Minimal. Bundle notifications, plain-text first.
  channels/        # ActionCable channels for real-time.

No app/services/, app/queries/, app/policies/, app/forms/ directories. Business logic lives in models. Authorization via roles on User model + controller concerns. Complex forms use standard Rails nested attributes.

Core Philosophy

  • Vanilla Rails: Rich domain models, thin controllers, avoid service objects (acceptable when justified, but not as default architecture), no Devise, no Pundit
  • Everything is CRUD: State changes = new resources (Closure, Publication, Archival)
  • State as records: No boolean flags for business state -- use has_one state records
  • Rich models over services: Business logic lives in models, organized via concerns
  • Concerns for organization: Models compose behavior via focused concerns (Closeable, Assignable)
  • No foreign key constraints: Application enforces referential integrity
  • Multi-tenancy: URL path-based (/:account_id/...), account_id on every table
  • Current for context: Current.user, Current.account, Current.session
  • Shallow jobs: _later/_now pattern; job calls model method, logic stays in model

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.
