industry-research: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

industry-research AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from geekjourneyx/industry-research. It costs 1,429 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an industry-research tool: a Go command-line program that turns broad questions about industries, companies, or business opportunities into research workspaces and reports.

In plain words
What is it for?
They guide work on the Codex skill, the Go research CLI, its research paths, and the review agents used to check research quality.
Why use it?
They explain how the repository is structured and set an evidence rule: search results and model responses are leads until checked against sources or other evidence.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is geekjourneyx/industry-research's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on industry-research 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 industry-research 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

industry-research 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.

What This Is

This repository contains a Codex skill and a Go CLI for industry research.

The system takes a fuzzy industry, sector, company, or business-opportunity question and turns it into a structured research workspace and report. The core quality standard is evidence discipline: search results and model answers are only leads until they are verified against sources, operating traces, or cross-source checks.

The specialized restaurant, retail, supply-chain, and chain-brand path uses operating-trace verification instead of narrative-only market analysis.

Current Architecture

The current execution center is researcher, a Go CLI in researcher/.

SKILL.md is still the Codex entry point. It routes the request, chooses depth and domain, calls researcher, then uses the four agent role files as review and challenge layers.

The older pure prompt-only pipeline remains useful as a fallback and review model, but it is no longer the primary architecture.

Main Components

Component Path Role
Skill entry SKILL.md Codex-facing orchestration contract
CLI researcher/ Builds workspaces, provider calls, trace planning, evidence ledger, confidence, validation
Engagement Manager agents/engagement-manager.md Reviews claim graph and trace plan
Blue Team agents/blue-team.md Reviews support evidence and upside thesis
Red Team agents/red-team.md Searches for missing traces, conflicts, and over-claimed evidence
Chief Arbitrator agents/chief-arbitrator.md Checks consistency among confidence, evidence, and final report
Validator scripts/validate_report.py Validates report shape and researcher workspace artifacts

Primary Flow

  1. User asks for /industry-research or an equivalent industry research task.
  2. SKILL.md determines language, depth, and domain.
  3. The skill calls:
researcher run "<question>" --domain <domain> --depth <brief|standard|comprehensive> --workspace-root <workspace_root>

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.
