l123: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

l123 AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from duane1024/l123. It costs 1,398 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Eine Projektanleitung für die Arbeit an L123, einem Nachbau von Lotus 1-2-3 R3.4a für DOS mit textbasierter Oberfläche. Sie legt fest, welche Dokumente maßgeblich sind und dass Änderungen mit TDD entwickelt werden, also mit Tests vor dem Code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Für Entscheidungen über Umfang, Menüs, Implementierungsphasen und Teststrategie des Projekts. Außerdem für die schrittweise Entwicklung neuer Funktionen nach dem Red-Green-Refactor-Ablauf.
Why use it?
Sie verhindert, dass Code und Projektdokumentation auseinanderlaufen oder Änderungen ohne passende Tests entstehen. Der Ablauf macht zuerst die gewünschte Funktion als fehlgeschlagenen Test sichtbar, bevor sie umgesetzt und überarbeitet wird.

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

l123 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 149 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — L123 project guide

Session-level conventions for working on L123 (a Lotus 1-2-3 R3.4a for DOS TUI clone). Living document — edit freely as conventions emerge.

Canonical docs — read these before making decisions

  • docs/SPEC.md — what L123 is. Scope, modes, menu tree, authenticity contract.
  • docs/PLAN.md — implementation milestones, risk register, test strategy.
  • docs/MENU.md — complete menu tree; source of truth for l123-menu.

If code and doc disagree, fix the doc first, then write code to match.


How we develop: red / green / refactor (strict TDD)

Test-first, always. Every change to shipping code follows this loop:

1. Red

Write the failing test(s) that describe the behavior you want. Run them. They must fail for the right reason — not a compile error, not a panic from unrelated setup. cargo test -p <crate> shows a clean failure in the new test, pointing at the behavior being specified.

If you can't figure out what the test should assert, the behavior isn't specified enough yet. Re-read SPEC, or write the acceptance transcript first, then come back.

2. Green

Write the minimum code to make the tests pass. No refactoring, no extra features, no speculative abstractions, no helpers you "might need later." If a test is green before you meant it to be, delete the extra code until only the test's claim is covered.

3. Refactor

Now, and only now, clean up. Re-run tests after every small refactor step. Never refactor with red tests. Clippy must stay clean: cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings.

Exceptions (be honest — they should be rare)

  • Pure docs/comment changes.
  • Throwaway spikes — must be marked WIP: spike and deleted before landing. Any code you keep must have tests written before it.

Test tiers

Every feature lands with tests at one or more of:

  1. Unit tests — colocated with source (#[cfg(test)] mod tests). Pure-function tests; no ratatui, no IronCalc.
  2. Engine integration tests — crates/l123-engine/src/ironcalc_adapter.rs under #[cfg(test)]. Drive the Engine trait against real IronCalc.
  3. Acceptance transcripts — tests/acceptance/*.tsv, run by crates/l123-ui/tests/acceptance.rs. Keystrokes in, on-screen state out. Every item in SPEC §20 "Authenticity Contract" gets ≥1 transcript before the claim can be called done.

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.
