wam: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

wam AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from elliottdehn/wam. It costs 597 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for WAM, a tool for working with characters, creatures, props, rigs, animations, and reference images. It also documents setup commands and rules for handling multiple views.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when preparing WAM, processing reference images, or creating and validating multi-image or multi-view assets.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents consistent setup instructions and prevents them from overlooking supplied reference images or using the wrong command interface.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

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

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

wam 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

WAM repository guidance

Use .agents/skills/wam/SKILL.md for character, creature, prop, rig, animation, reference-image, or .wam work.

Local setup

  • On Windows, run powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\Setup-WAM.ps1. On macOS and Linux, run ./setup-wam.sh. Both create the same .venv.
  • Use that virtual environment's interpreter explicitly afterwards: .\.venv\Scripts\python.exe on Windows, ./.venv/bin/python3 on macOS and Linux. Do not depend on whichever interpreter is first on PATH.
  • Commands below are written python3, which resolves on macOS and Linux both inside and outside the venv. Windows has no python3: use .\.venv\Scripts\python.exe or py -3 there.
  • Use python3 -m wam.codex_cli for agent work because it reserves stdout for deterministic JSON. python3 -m wam.cli remains the human-oriented command.

Multi-image and multi-view contract

  • Prepare every supplied reference with wam.codex_cli references; keep whole-object views, detail images, and palette images as separate named evidence.
  • Read every entry and crop group in references.json; do not summarize all references from a single contact sheet.
  • Compile with all relevant named or custom views. Read _views.json, then inspect every listed PNG individually before judging the combined sheet.
  • Unknown, empty, and duplicate view names are errors. Custom views use id:yaw[:pitch] in degrees.
  • Preserve the historical .gltf, viewer HTML, and sheet outputs when changing render behavior.

Colour

  • Colours are authored as sRGB hex and held internally as linear; wam/color.py owns both conversions and is the only module that should.
  • Colour enters through parser._hex_color (and edits._color) and leaves through render.write_png / png_bytes. A new consumer that wants sRGB encodes at its own edge; a new exporter that wants linear writes the value it already has.
  • tests/test_colorspace.py holds the guarantee that whatever hex an author writes is what an importer receives.

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.
