ilana: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ilana AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Ferousco-dev/ilana. It costs 1,735 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for installing and contributing to Ìlànà, a documented software-engineering process made of instructions, shell scripts, and Python code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing Ìlànà across coding agents, checking that the installation worked, and following the repository’s contribution rules.
Why use it?
It tells coding agents which installation steps to follow and where the shared skill files are linked, reducing setup mistakes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Ferousco-dev/ilana's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ilana 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 ilana configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is ln -s ../../.ilana-src/skill .claude/skills/ilana.

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

ilana 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 1mo 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.

AGENTS.md

This file has two audiences. Find yours.

  • You were pointed at this repository and asked to install it. Read section 1, then stop.
  • You are working on this repository as a contributor. Skip to section 2.

1. INSTALLING ÌLÀNÀ

Ìlànà is a software engineering process definition. It is documentation, shell and Python. It has no build step and no runtime dependencies.

What you are installing: the skill/ directory. Everything else in this repository is scaffolding around it.

The install, in full

Run these. Substitute nothing.

git clone https://github.com/Ferousco-dev/ilana.git ~/.ilana-src
~/.ilana-src/bin/ilana install --link --all
~/.ilana-src/bin/ilana doctor

install --link --all creates symlinks from every coding-agent skills directory it finds on this machine to ~/.ilana-src/skill. Because they are symlinks to one directory, a later git -C ~/.ilana-src pull updates every agent at once.

doctor prints what it installed and where. Show the user that output. It is how they know it worked.

About the ilana command

install --link --all already links the command into ~/.local/bin. If that directory is not on the user's PATH, the installer says so and prints the exact line for their shell.

Relay that line to the user. Do not edit their shell profile yourself without asking.

Only ilana update, ilana doctor and the shell shortcuts need the command. The skill and the slash commands work regardless, and the command always works by full path:

~/.ilana-src/bin/ilana doctor

To put it somewhere already on PATH: ILANA_BIN=/usr/local/bin ~/.ilana-src/bin/ilana install --link --all. To skip it: add --no-cli.

Some sandboxes and some Windows setups will not follow them.

~/.ilana-src/bin/ilana install --copy --all

Updates then require ilana update rather than a bare git pull.

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.
