What is openapi-to-cli AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction document for openapi-to-cli, a TypeScript command-line program that turns OpenAPI descriptions into commands at run time. It records the project's commands, rules, and required workflow for coding agents.

Guiding development, testing, building, and use of cached API specifications in the openapi-to-cli project.

It gives coding agents a single reference for how this repository works and which checks must be run before changes are accepted.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01056	$0.01056
Opus 5.5	$0.00422	$0.00422
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00211	$0.00211

Security

Grade A, and why

openapi-to-cli 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 2mo 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

openapi-to-cli (ocli) - agent brief

ocli is a TypeScript CLI that turns OpenAPI/Swagger specs into runtime commands. No code generation: every invocation loads a cached spec and builds the command tree on the fly. Profiles live in .ocli/profiles.ini, cached specs under .ocli/specs/. Tests are the specification of behavior; README.md is the public contract.

This file is the canonical top-level brief for every coding agent (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, others). CLAUDE.md is a symlink to it. Detailed rules live in .cursor/rules/*.mdc and their mirrors in .claude/rules/*.md; Codex receives the Cursor side through the hook bridge in .codex/ (see the last section).

Commands

npm ci                                   # install
npm test                                 # full Jest suite
npx jest tests/<module>.test.ts -t "<title>"   # one test
npm run build                            # tsc, must be clean
bash tests/fixtures/download.sh          # large real-spec fixtures (GitHub, Box); their suites skip when absent

Workflow that must not be skipped

Failing test first. A bug gets a reproduction test, a feature gets a behavior test, in tests/<module>.test.ts. Run it alone and confirm it fails for the right reason before touching src/.
Minimal change at the lowest layer. Pure (bm25.ts, command-args.ts) -> I/O wrappers (config.ts, profile-store.ts, openapi-loader.ts) -> transform (openapi-to-commands.ts, command-search.ts) -> entry (cli.ts, the only module that talks to yargs, axios, process). Lower layers never import upper ones.
Green everywhere. npm test passes in full and npm run build is clean before the work is called done.
README for anything a user can observe. Flags, command names, profile fields, .ocli/ layout, search behavior, supported spec features, authentication and header handling (which requests carry credentials, and to which hosts), spec loading and caching, --help text, error messages, exit codes. A change counts even when it adds no flag. examples/skill-ocli-api.md and skills/ocli-api/SKILL.md stay aligned with the documented agent workflow.
Rules Sync. Any change to a rule file is mirrored between .claude/rules/ and .cursor/rules/ in the same commit, and the index in .codex/rules.md plus the rule list below are refreshed when a rule is added, renamed, or removed.

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.
