graphjin: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

graphjin AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dosco/graphjin. It costs 5,837 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project-specific instructions for agents maintaining GraphJin, a library that turns GraphQL requests into database queries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding the right code areas, working with database schemas and generated queries, preserving public APIs, and following the project’s build and coding guidelines.
Why use it?
They explain GraphJin’s architecture and rules, helping an agent avoid treating it like a typical GraphQL server or changing its public interface accidentally.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is dosco/graphjin's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on graphjin 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 graphjin configures →

About the project

GraphJin is a compiler and runtime that gives AI agents a governed graph-based way to work with databases, files, source code, workflows, and other systems through GraphQL and MCP. It is also used as a GraphQL-to-database service, API gateway, Go library, and real-time subscription server. The catalogue add-ons connect agents to GraphJin or support its agent workflow.

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

graphjin 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.

GraphJin Agent Guide

This document is a guide for AI agents working on the GraphJin codebase. It outlines the architectural patterns, coding conventions, and common tasks associated with maintaining and extending this library.

Architectural Overview

GraphJin is a compiler that turns GraphQL into database queries. For SQL databases, it generates SQL. For MongoDB, it generates a JSON DSL that is translated to aggregation pipelines. It is NOT a typical ORM or resolver-based GraphQL server.

  • Core Philosophy: Push as much work as possible to the database.
  • No Resolvers: Data fetching is done via a single generated SQL query. Do not add resolvers for database fields.
  • Schema Driven: The database schema (sdata) is the source of truth.

Directory Structure & Responsibilities

Path Component Responsibility
core/api.go Public API The only entry point for users. Changes here are breaking.
core/core.go Engine Internal orchestration, initialization, and state management.
core/internal/sdata Schema Metadata about tables, columns, and relationships. Graph traversal logic.
core/internal/qcode IR Compiler Front-end compiler. Parses GraphQL -> QCode (Intermediate Representation).
core/internal/psql SQL Compiler Back-end compiler. QCode -> SQL. Handles dialect differences.
core/internal/dialect Dialect Interface Database-specific SQL generation methods. Each dialect implements this interface.
core/internal/graph GraphQL Parser Lexer and parser for GraphQL input. Builds AST.
core/internal/jsn JSON Processing High-performance JSON parsing and filtering utilities.
serv/ HTTP Service Standalone server with REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs.
auth/ Authentication Auth providers: JWT, Auth0, Firebase, Rails session.
cmd/ CLI Tool Command-line interface for migrations, deployment, and management.
conf/ Configuration YAML-based config loading and validation.
wasm/ WebAssembly WASM build for NodeJS integration.
mongodriver/ MongoDB Driver Custom database/sql-compatible driver for MongoDB. Translates JSON DSL to aggregation pipelines.

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.
