academic-ref-inserter: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

academic-ref-inserter AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from fuwenhao12/academic-ref-inserter. It costs 2,340 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A compatibility guide for using Academic Reference Inserter with AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Codex CLI. It lists the configuration file or folder each assistant uses and gives example prompts and commands for working with paper citations.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up the tool in different AI coding environments, choose the correct instruction file, and run citation analysis or formatting tasks on academic papers.
Why use it?
It removes the guesswork of configuring the citation tool for a particular assistant and shows how to ask the assistant to inspect or fix a paper.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is fuwenhao12/academic-ref-inserter's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on academic-ref-inserter 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 academic-ref-inserter configures →

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

academic-ref-inserter 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 9d 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.

Quick Start for Any AI Assistant

When you ask your AI coding assistant to "insert references" or "format citations", the assistant will automatically detect this project and use the Academic Ref Inserter tool.

Example Prompts

# Analyze citations in my paper
python scripts/insert_refs.py analyze --input paper.docx --json

# Full pipeline (recommended)
python scripts/insert_refs.py fix --input paper.docx --format gbt7714

# IEEE format
python scripts/insert_refs.py fix --input paper.docx --format ieee

# Validate only
python scripts/insert_refs.py validate --input paper.docx --format gbt7714 --json

# Reformat only (skip hyperlinks and reorder)
python scripts/insert_refs.py reformat --input paper.docx --format apa7

JSON Output Mode

All commands support --json for structured output. AI assistants should always use this flag for reliable parsing:

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.
