What is Director AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for Director, a local-first system that records live applications and turns captured moments into presentations. They define its production terms, required commands, approval rules, and security practices.

Use them when changing Director's TypeScript SDK, capture workflow, MCP or A2A adapters, presentation outputs, or release packaging. They explain terms such as storyboard, scene, shot, and final cut.

They give contributors a shared model of the system and prevent adapters from duplicating the core SDK's behavior. They also make required checks and handling of secrets explicit.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00651	$0.00651
Opus 5.5	$0.00260	$0.00260
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00130	$0.00130

Security

Grade A, and why

Director 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.

Agent Contribution Guide

This file is for future agents working in this repository.

Purpose

Director is a local-first, AI-first system for creating live-application presentations. The package and repository slug are ai-recorder; the CLI command is director. Director exposes a TypeScript SDK, a local MCP server, and an A2A-shaped adapter. The SDK is the source of truth; adapters should call SDK operations instead of duplicating behavior.

Use movie/director nomenclature consistently:

Director: the production system and operator.
Storyboard: the versioned production plan.
Scene: a grouped chapter of related shots.
Shot: one captured app moment.
Stage Direction: a browser action such as goto, click, fill, press, waitForText, or capture.
Camera Rig: capture backend, usually Playwright.
Dailies: raw screenshots, recordings, diagnostics, and timing data.
Final Cut: rendered MP4.
Pitch Deck: editable PPTX.

Commands

Run these before handing work back:

npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run build

Run these for release or packaging work:

npm audit --audit-level=moderate
npm run pack:dry

Use the development CLI from the repo root:

npm run director -- check examples/basic/storyboard.yaml

Approval Gates

shoot and premiere operate a browser and write production artifacts, so they require approval. Do not bypass approval in agent workflows unless the user explicitly configures trusted local automation with DIRECTOR_APPROVED=1 or passes --approved.

Agents may scout, draft, and check storyboards without approval.

No-Secret Rules

Never commit:

Real API keys, client secrets, passwords, bearer tokens, or session material.
Private URLs, tailnet domains, tenant/customer names, or production credentials.
.env files, raw transcripts, screenshots, videos, generated decks, or local demo bridge scripts.
Anything under .director/.

Use placeholder env var names in docs and examples. Keep generated/private demos in .director/local-demos/ or another ignored dot directory.

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.
