attractor-guided-engineering-template AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for the Entropy-Cloud Attractor-Guided Engineering template. They explain the project’s purpose, its two audiences, and how the repository and installer are organised.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the Mission Driver application or installing the template into another project, especially when routing tasks, updating documentation, or handling the installer’s generated files.
Why use it?
They give an agent the context needed to change the right files and follow the project’s workflow. They also clarify which files are the live project and which are reusable template files.

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

attractor-guided-engineering-template 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 2d 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.

Project Intent

mission-driver (self-hosting AGE workspace) uses a lightweight Attractor-Guided Engineering workflow for AI-assisted application development.

This repository is for an application-layer product, not a framework-core project.

The repo is the source of truth. Chat is only a temporary working surface.

Dual-Audience Repo

This repository serves two audiences:

  1. As a real project — it develops tools/mission-driver/ (a Node.js Flow DSL engine + Vue 3 monitor dashboard) using its own AGE workflow. The repo dogfoods its own methodology.
  2. As a template — consumers run ./install-age.sh /path/to/target "Project Name" from a clone of this repo. The installer copies a curated file set listed in install-age.manifest (sourcing fill-in files from template/ and shared methodology guides from repo root) into a new project root, then auto-creates the mission-driver shim, .env, missions/base.json, docs/logs/{year}/, and .gitignore.

Files at the repo root and under docs/ are the REAL PROJECT versions (filled in for mission-driver development). Pristine template versions of fill-in files live under template/. For the manual fallback flow (no bash), see template/START-HERE-after-copy.md; for the primary automated flow, run ./install-age.sh and read its NEXT STEPS output.

In-Tree Tool

tools/mission-driver/ is a real, in-tree Node.js tool — NOT a scaffold example. It is the engine that automates this repo's own AGE loop. Read tools/mission-driver/CONTEXT.md for the 30-second overview. It is attached as subdirectory context when you read files under tools/mission-driver/.

Before writing non-trivial code, agents must first understand:

  • docs/context/project-context.md
  • docs/context/ai-autonomy-policy.md
  • docs/context/codebase-map.md
  • the requirement or owner doc (under docs/requirements/ or docs/design/) that describes the work's intended behavior — current work-in-progress is read from unfinished plans in docs/plans/, not from a field in project-context.md
  • the relevant raw inputs under docs/input/ when requirement meaning depends on source material

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.
