open-seo AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for developing OpenSEO, a search-engine-optimisation application. They describe coding practices, data handling, database compatibility, and how to record small development problems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding changes to the TypeScript application, server functions, database code, forms, routing, and project notes about development friction.
Why use it?
They give the coding agent consistent project rules and help prevent avoidable maintenance and database mistakes.

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

open-seo 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 3d 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 guidance

Engineering principles

  • Prefer simple, readable, flat code with minimal indirection.
  • Search for existing implementations and installed libraries before creating new helpers or abstractions.
  • Abstract when it prevents meaningful drift and makes the result simpler to maintain. Avoid speculative or one-use abstraction layers.
  • Keep product data normalized and relationships explicit. Do not encode relational data in JSON or text merely to avoid joins.
  • For new application-backed backend functionality, default to: TanStack server function → service → repository.
  • Keep schema changes, queries, and mutations compatible with both SQLite and Postgres.
  • Use idiomatic TypeScript. Use Zod to validate untrusted data and narrow runtime values at trust boundaries.
  • Prefer established project helpers and libraries over hand-rolled implementations.
  • Prefer idiomatic TanStack Query, Router, and Form patterns for server state, routing, and submitted forms.

Log papercuts

When small, non-blocking repository friction occurs—a retried tool call, confusing setup step, flaky command, stale cache, misleading error, or non-obvious gotcha—use the papercuts skill and append it to .agents/PAPERCUTS.md in the moment. Continue the current task. Real bugs and tracked work are not papercuts, and sensitive data must never be logged.

Do not mine an entire session for papercuts or start a broad cleanup unless the user explicitly asks.

Preserve review learnings

After a merge-ready or other code review verifies a finding, use maintain-greptile-rules only when the finding exposes a recurring or high-risk repository invariant that existing .greptile/ context and automated checks do not capture. Do not promote one-off bugs or preferences into permanent review rules.

Changes to .greptile/**, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .agents/skills/**, and .github/** alter the review control plane and must receive explicit maintainer review. CODEOWNERS requests that review; where repository settings allow, enable GitHub's requirement for code-owner approval. Repository-specific rules live in .greptile/; maintainers should configure or retain a minimal org-enforced Greptile baseline for external-contribution, secret, authentication, billing, CI, and rule-tampering risks. Agents should report an unverified or missing baseline and must not mutate dashboard or organization rules without explicit user authorization.

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.
