What is clicky AGENTS.md?

Repository-specific instructions for Clicky, a macOS menu-bar app that captures voice and screen context, sends it to AI services, and returns text, speech, and cursor guidance.

Use them when changing the SwiftUI and AppKit interface, voice capture, transcription, AI streaming, text-to-speech, cursor overlays, or the Cloudflare API proxy.

They explain the app's unusual menu-bar design, voice pipeline, AI connections, security boundary, and main architectural choices.

How farzaa/clicky configures Codex and OpenCode

About the project

Clicky is an open-source macOS AI teaching companion that sits beside the cursor, sees the screen, speaks with the user, and points to on-screen elements. Developers use the project to run, inspect, and extend the application. The catalogue entries are instructions for working with this codebase through coding agents.

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	$0.02959	$0.02959
Opus 5.5	$0.01184	$0.01184
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00592	$0.00592

Security

Grade C, and why

clicky AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

Clicky - Agent Instructions

Overview

macOS menu bar companion app. Lives entirely in the macOS status bar (no dock icon, no main window). Clicking the menu bar icon opens a custom floating panel with companion voice controls. Uses push-to-talk (ctrl+option) to capture voice input, transcribes it via AssemblyAI streaming, and sends the transcript + a screenshot of the user's screen to Claude. Claude responds with text (streamed via SSE) and voice (ElevenLabs TTS). A blue cursor overlay can fly to and point at UI elements Claude references on any connected monitor.

All API keys live on a Cloudflare Worker proxy — nothing sensitive ships in the app.

Architecture

App Type: Menu bar-only (LSUIElement=true), no dock icon or main window
Framework: SwiftUI (macOS native) with AppKit bridging for menu bar panel and cursor overlay
Pattern: MVVM with @StateObject / @Published state management
AI Chat: Claude (Sonnet 4.6 default, Opus 4.6 optional) via Cloudflare Worker proxy with SSE streaming
Speech-to-Text: AssemblyAI real-time streaming (u3-rt-pro model) via websocket, with OpenAI and Apple Speech as fallbacks
Text-to-Speech: ElevenLabs (eleven_flash_v2_5 model) via Cloudflare Worker proxy
Screen Capture: ScreenCaptureKit (macOS 14.2+), multi-monitor support
Voice Input: Push-to-talk via AVAudioEngine + pluggable transcription-provider layer. System-wide keyboard shortcut via listen-only CGEvent tap.
Element Pointing: Claude embeds [POINT:x,y:label:screenN] tags in responses. The overlay parses these, maps coordinates to the correct monitor, and animates the blue cursor along a bezier arc to the target.
Concurrency: @MainActor isolation, async/await throughout
Analytics: PostHog via ClickyAnalytics.swift

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.
