Project instructions for software-controlled-skills, defining how coding agents should index the project and carry out tasks. They cover implementation, testing, documentation, refactoring, and audits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working in that project to find relevant indexes, follow task workflows, run permitted changes, and update indexes after editing files.
Why use it?
They give the agent project-specific rules, reducing accidental changes to architecture, security, deployment, or other protected areas.

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

software-controlled-skills 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 8d 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.

Project Agent Rules

  1. Use project-indexing for first-time project indexing, full rebuild, or index audit.
  2. Use software-task-creation when converting a user request into an executable task prompt.
  3. Use controlled-software-task-execution for implementation, bugfix, test, CI, docs, refactor, and audit tasks.
  4. Before task execution, check docs/ai-index/ and read task-relevant indexes.
  5. Do not full re-index on every task. Use lightweight index health checks.
  6. After task execution, incrementally update relevant indexes and INDEX_CHANGELOG.md when files change.
  7. Do not add dependencies unless explicitly allowed.
  8. Do not modify architecture, API contracts, database schema, auth/security, signing, permissions, CI, deployment, or production config unless explicitly allowed.
  9. Do not modify platform identity files such as Bundle ID, applicationId, appid, signing config, entitlements, keystore, provisioning, or certificates unless explicitly allowed.
  10. Do not weaken lint, typecheck, build, test, CI, or release checks.
  11. Stop and report when the task becomes high-risk or conflicts with indexes/project rules.
  12. Complete only the current task and stop after the completion report.
  13. After any execution task, output the fixed completion summary required by controlled-software-task-execution.
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.
