linctl: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

linctl AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dorkitude/linctl. It costs 653 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent instruction file for linctl, a command-line tool. It sets rules for small tested changes, documentation updates, release checks, and tests for CLI and GraphQL changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing linctl commands, GraphQL operations, release versioning, Homebrew or Nix support, or the master API reference.
Why use it?
It keeps code, documentation, package releases, and API behavior aligned while preventing unnecessary rewrites or unverified changes.

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

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

linctl 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 1mo 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.

Purpose

Ship safe, small, tested changes to linctl with docs that match behavior.

Operating Rules

  • Keep patches minimal and focused; avoid drive-by refactors.
  • Prefer rg/go test/existing scripts; do not invent parallel tooling.
  • Never rewrite user-authored history (reset --hard, force-push) unless explicitly requested.
  • If behavior changes, update docs in the same PR (README.md, SKILL.md, as needed).
  • If a change updates release versioning, do not consider it complete until Homebrew tap bump status and Nix installability are verified.

Quality Bar

  • Run: go test ./... before finalizing code changes.
  • For CLI flag/command changes, add or update command tests in cmd/*_test.go.
  • For GraphQL query/mutation changes, add or update API tests in pkg/api/*_test.go.
  • If tests are skipped, state exactly what was skipped and why.

Docs Freshness

  • Treat master_api_ref.md as drift-prone; verify against current official Linear docs before editing claims (auth, scopes, rate limits, headers, deprecations).
    • When you identify drift around your feature area, edit master_api_ref.md in the same PR as your feature.
  • Prefer exact terms from upstream docs; avoid hardcoded limits unless sourced.
  • Keep examples runnable with current CLI.

Fast Checks

  • linctl --version
  • linctl --help
  • go test ./...

Release + Package Managers (Owners Only)

  • Owners cut releases from master using semver tags vX.Y.Z.
  • Required for auto Homebrew bump: repo secret HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN (write access to dorkitude/homebrew-linctl).
  • Version bump policy: release/version bumps must include Homebrew and Nix verification in the same workstream.
    • Homebrew verification means auto workflow success plus merged tap PR, or a merged manual tap bump PR.
    • Nix verification means the flake builds from the release tag, or the blocker is explicitly documented when Nix is unavailable in the release environment.
  • Flow:
    1. git push origin master
    2. git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z: <summary>" && git push origin vX.Y.Z
    3. gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "linctl vX.Y.Z" --notes "..."
    4. Verify Bump Homebrew Tap workflow succeeds.
    5. Merge bump PR in dorkitude/homebrew-linctl (close stale bump PRs).
    6. Confirm formula points to new tag+sha and brew upgrade linctl resolves.
    7. Confirm Nix installability from the tag: nix build github:dorkitude/linctl/vX.Y.Z nix profile install github:dorkitude/linctl/vX.Y.Z linctl --version

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.
