veridge AGENTS.md

A project instruction file for coding agents working on Veridge, a tool that builds a searchable map of a software project for people and AI assistants. It sets the project’s design rules, setup steps, tests, and code layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying Veridge, running its checks, adding tests, or deciding where new code belongs.
Why use it?
It gives agents the project context and constraints they need before making changes, reducing the risk of broken tests, extra dependencies, or unwanted edits to source files.

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

veridge 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 yesterday.

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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md — working on Veridge

Veridge builds an always-fresh, low-token graph of a whole project (files + symbols + areas + decisions + git sessions), ranks it with PageRank, and serves token-budgeted slices to AI assistants and humans. The core has zero runtime dependencies (Python standard library only).

Setup & checks

pip install -e ".[dev,mcp,treesitter]"
ruff check veridge tests      # must pass
pytest -q                     # must pass

Every change must keep ruff and pytest green, and add/adjust tests for behaviour changes.

Design principles (do not break)

read-only on the user's sources · zero-deps core (any new dependency goes behind an optional extra, never in the core) · low-token (queries return structure, never file contents) · ranked (relevance from the graph, not raw counts) · deterministic (nodes and edges are sorted on serialization → reproducible graph.json). No LLM builds the graph.

Layout

  • model.py — typed nodes/edges + indexed adjacency (O(degree) queries)
  • walk.py / ignore.py / classify.py — file enumeration and typing
  • parse_python.py (stdlib ast) + treesitter.py (optional extra) — symbols, imports, calls
  • parse_docs.py — references (links / wikilinks / prose paths) + decision ids
  • indexer.py — assembles the graph; sessions.py — git history
  • rank.py (PageRank) · budget.py (token cost) · query.py (map / find / neighbors / focus / impact / tour / why)
  • freshness.py (manifest + anti-drift gate) · store.py (.veridge/) · watch.py · export.py · integrate.py
  • viewer.py + ui/template.html — offline canvas graph · cli.py · mcp_server.py

README.md (usage), ROADMAP.md (plan & what's intentionally out of scope), CONTRIBUTING.md (PR guidance), docs/graph-format.md (the graph.json schema).

Changes

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.

veridge AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository galimar/veridge (1 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 511 tokens to every session, about $0.0026 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
