groundhog-day AGENTS.md

groundhog-day AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from DUBSOpenHub/groundhog-day. It costs 900 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A working guide for AI agents contributing to Groundhog Day, a standalone Bash program that watches local Copilot skills and syncs changes to GitHub.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the Groundhog Day script, installer, launch-agent files, or related documentation. It also identifies the checks to run after changes.
Why use it?
It explains the project structure, file ownership, design decisions, and checks needed to change the code without breaking its watcher, sync, or scheduled health-check behavior.

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

groundhog-day 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 4d 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.

This file tells any AI agent how to work effectively on the Groundhog Day codebase.


Architecture

Groundhog Day is a standalone bash daemon that watches ~/.copilot/skills/ and auto-syncs changes to a GitHub repository. It is NOT a Copilot CLI skill — it's infrastructure that protects skills.

~/bin/groundhog                          ← main script (bash)
├── watch mode (fswatch → rsync → git)   ← real-time file watcher
├── sync (rsync + git add/commit/push)   ← core sync logic
├── checkup (13-point diagnostic)        ← daily health check at 6 AM
└── status (quick health check)          ← manual status

~/Library/LaunchAgents/
├── com.dubsopenhub.groundhog.plist           ← keeps watcher alive
└── com.dubsopenhub.groundhog.checkup.plist   ← nightly checkup at 6 AM

File Ownership Map

File Purpose Change Rules
groundhog Main script All logic lives here. Test with groundhog checkup after changes.
install.sh One-line installer Must stay idempotent. Re-running should not break existing installs.
com.dubsopenhub.groundhog.plist LaunchAgent (watcher) KeepAlive=true. Update home dir paths if changing user support.
com.dubsopenhub.groundhog.checkup.plist LaunchAgent (nightly) Runs at 6 AM. No KeepAlive — runs once and exits.
README.md Documentation Keep GIFs, keep the tone. Don't remove the Bill Murray energy.

Key Design Decisions

1. No external dependencies beyond standard tools

Groundhog Day uses only: bash, fswatch, rsync, git, python3 (stdlib only). No pip packages. No node modules. This is intentional — it must survive on a fresh machine with just Homebrew basics.

2. Single file architecture

Everything lives in one bash script. No splitting into modules. This keeps installation trivial (cp one file) and debugging simple (cat one file).

3. Lock file for concurrency

/tmp/groundhog.lock is a directory-based lock (atomic on all filesystems). mkdir succeeds or fails atomically. Always release with trap ... RETURN.

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.
