nix-config AGENTS.md

nix-config AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dliberalesso/nix-config. It costs 1,249 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for dliberalesso/nix-config, a configuration repository for Nix and NixOS. They describe the project structure, architecture references, and commands for formatting, checking, rebuilding, updating, and maintaining the system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on this repository to find the right build, lint, test, rebuild, dependency-update, debugging, and Nix store commands. They also point to the architecture guides that should be read before changing specific areas.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent the project’s expected workflow and boundaries before it changes files.

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

nix-config 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 5d 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 for nix-config

Build/Lint/Test Commands

  • Format code: just fmt (runs treefmt with nixfmt, prettier, stylua, etc.)
  • Lint/check: just lint (runs nix flake check)
  • Rebuild system: just rebuild (rebuilds and switches NixOS with nh)
  • Update dependencies: just update (updates flake inputs)
  • Diff lock file: just diff (shows changes to flake.lock using jj)
  • Clean store: just clean (garbage collect and optimize with nh)
  • Repair store: just repair (verify and repair Nix store integrity)
  • Debug in REPL: just debug (opens nix repl with debug flag enabled)

Architecture Guidance

  • Start with .rpiv/guidance/architecture.md for the current project map and architectural boundaries
  • Before changing a specific area, read the matching sub-guide under .rpiv/guidance/**/architecture.md
  • Treat .rpiv/guidance/ as the canonical architecture and workflow reference; prefer linking to it over duplicating detailed patterns here

Architecture

  • Framework: unify + flake-parts + import-tree
  • High-level shape: hosts/ contains concrete machines; modules/ contains reusable capabilities, packages, programs, and profiles
  • Current desktop direction: niride is transitional; shared graphical concerns belong in gui; future work may support both niride and hyprde
  • Current secret-management entrypoint: modules/toplevel/secrets.nix

Common Patterns

  • Defining a host: see .rpiv/guidance/hosts/architecture.md
  • Adding/changing program modules: see .rpiv/guidance/modules/programs/architecture.md
  • Reusable system/platform changes: see .rpiv/guidance/modules/system/architecture.md
  • Package/export changes: see .rpiv/guidance/modules/packages/architecture.md
  • Top-level profile or desktop-session changes: see .rpiv/guidance/modules/toplevel/architecture.md
  • Neovim/nixCats changes: see .rpiv/guidance/modules/nvim/architecture.md
  • Flake tooling changes: see .rpiv/guidance/modules/flake/architecture.md
  • Adding flake inputs: for eval-time inputs, follow nix-proxy-flake/nixpkgs where applicable; for build-time only inputs, use buildTime = true; and flake = false;
  • Theme scheme plumbing: check .rpiv/guidance/architecture.md first because modules/theme/scheme.nix currently references a missing base16 input

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.
