Repository guidance for coding agents working on Dory, a Yarn workspace monorepo with web, admin, and Electron applications that share core packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the web, admin, or Electron applications, authentication, database code, connection drivers, or runtime selection.
Why use it?
It explains Dory’s desktop and self-hosted web modes and where their shared runtime logic lives, preventing inconsistent environment handling.

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

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

dory 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.

Overview

This repository is a Yarn workspace monorepo for Dory.

  • apps/web: main product application
  • apps/admin: admin application
  • apps/electron: Electron wrapper for the web app
  • packages/auth-core: shared auth package

Most product work happens in apps/web.

Product Model

The product has two runtime forms:

  • Desktop
  • Web self-hosting

These are runtime variants of the same apps/web application, not two separate frontends.

  • Runtime is determined by DORY_RUNTIME and NEXT_PUBLIC_DORY_RUNTIME
  • Do not scatter direct runtime env checks in feature code
  • Use apps/web/lib/runtime/runtime.ts as the runtime helper layer
  • Direct runtime env reads are only allowed inside the runtime helper layer or boot/injection code such as Electron startup

Core Source Areas

Treat these as the primary source of truth:

  • apps/web/app
  • apps/web/components
  • apps/web/lib
  • apps/web/lib/database
  • apps/web/lib/database/postgres/schemas
  • apps/web/lib/database/postgres/impl
  • apps/web/lib/connection/drivers
  • apps/web/lib/utils/ensure-connection.ts
  • apps/web/hooks
  • apps/web/shared
  • apps/admin/app
  • apps/admin/lib
  • apps/electron/main
  • packages/i18n/src
  • packages/auth-core/src
  • tests/e2e

Avoid editing generated or local artifact paths unless the task explicitly targets them:

  • **/.next/**
  • **/node_modules/**
  • apps/web/dist-scripts
  • apps/web/release
  • apps/web/.tmp
  • apps/web/localdata
  • apps/electron/dist
  • apps/electron/dist-electron
  • apps/electron/dist/mac-arm64
  • playwright-report
  • test-results

Commands

Run from the repository root unless workspace-local execution is more appropriate.

  • yarn
  • yarn dev
  • yarn admin:dev
  • yarn electron:dev
  • yarn build
  • yarn admin:build
  • yarn electron:build
  • yarn lint
  • yarn typecheck
  • yarn format:check
  • yarn format:write
  • yarn test:e2e

Useful workspace commands:

  • yarn workspace web run lint
  • yarn workspace web run typecheck
  • yarn workspace admin run lint
  • yarn workspace admin run typecheck

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.
