nostr-auth-agents: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

nostr-auth-agents AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from dyegolara/nostr-auth-agents. It costs 1,119 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for using a Nostr authentication tool to sign in to websites or APIs without publishing messages or moving funds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a service provides a Nostr challenge or asks for a signed authentication event.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a defined sign-in process and helps prevent using the tool for unrelated Nostr actions.

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

nostr-auth-agents 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 9d 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.

AGENTS.md — nostr-auth for coding agents

What this tool does

nostr_auth.js signs "Sign in with Nostr" events (NIP-07 style) for LLM agents. It takes a challenge or an event template from a site/API, signs a kind-22242 event with a secp256k1 (BIP-340 schnorr) key derived from a local master secret, and optionally sends the signature to the service callback — no wallet, no browser extension, and nothing published.

When to run it

Run this tool when:

  • A site presents "Sign in with Nostr" (or asks for window.nostr.signEvent)
  • An API hands back a challenge (string) or an event template to sign
  • The task requires proving a Nostr identity, not publishing notes or paying

Do NOT run to publish kind-1, talk to relays for anything other than the callback, or move funds. This is authentication only.

Quick invocation

node nostr_auth.js nip07 --challenge "<hex>" --domain <domain> \
  --callback "<verification-url>"

Variants by case:

Case Command
Classic challenge string (kind-22242) nip07 --challenge "<hex>" --relay "<url>" --callback "<url>"
Full event template nip07 '{"kind":...,"tags":[...],"content":""}'
Inspect the derived identity (getPublicKey) nip07 pubkey --domain <domain>
Sign without submitting add --dry-run
  1. Obtain the challenge or template from the page/API (attribute, QR, HTML, JSON response).
  2. Dry-run first: nostr_auth.js nip07 --challenge "<hex>" --dry-run --json to inspect the event, pubkey and callback before submitting.
  3. Submit: --callback <url>. JSON output with the server verdict.

With --json the output is parseable (jq). Progress logs go to stderr.

Exit codes

Code Meaning
0 Server responded {"status":"OK"} or the operation completed
1 Client-side error (invalid event, invalid key, network)
2 Usage error (no arguments, unknown option)
3 Server responded {"status":"ERROR","reason":"..."}
4 Non-200 or non-JSON callback response

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.
