mnemic: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mnemic AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dongtang3/mnemic. It costs 221 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Mnemic, a graph-based long-term memory system for coding agents and AI applications. They tell an agent when to read, save, and update project memories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to load relevant project context, record durable technical decisions, and keep memories scoped, factual, searchable, and free of secrets.
Why use it?
They help an agent retain architecture decisions, recurring fixes, and project rules across sessions instead of starting with no context each time.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is dongtang3/mnemic's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mnemic 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 mnemic 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

mnemic 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.

What it actually says

Mnemic Agent Instructions

Mnemic is a graph-backed long-term memory substrate for coding agents and LLM applications.

When the mnemic_* MCP tools are available:

  • Start non-trivial work by calling mnemic_context_pack with the current task and a concrete project scope.
  • For broad or fresh sessions, call mnemic_session_briefing before making implementation decisions.
  • Store a memory with mnemic_remember for durable architecture decisions, reusable bug fixes, release or environment rules, recurring workflows, and project-specific constraints.
  • Use stable sourceKey values when possible, such as commit SHAs, issue IDs, ticket IDs, or session-summary IDs, so repeated runs update rather than duplicate memory.
  • Set confidence below 1.0 when a memory is inferred, external, temporary, or likely to go stale.
  • Keep memories factual, searchable, scoped to a project, and free of secrets.

If the MCP server is unavailable, continue normally and mention that Mnemic memory was not reachable.

Changes

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.
