switchbot-mcp AGENTS.md

Repository rules for AI agents working on SwitchBot MCP, a server that connects AI tools to SwitchBot devices. They cover communication language, commit messages, GitHub issues, action versions, skills, and file-management practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when editing the project, handling GitHub issues, changing GitHub Actions, creating or updating skills, or preparing commits.
Why use it?
They provide project-specific working rules so code, documentation, commits, and skills follow the repository’s expected process.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

switchbot-mcp 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 2d 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 defines repository-level operating rules for AI agents working in this project.

Communication

  • Use English for chat interactions, repository files, and documentation by default.

General Rules

  • Use Conventional Commits for commit messages in English (no non-ASCII characters). If uncertain, inspect recent commit history first.
  • If a user writes #{number}, treat it as a GitHub Issue number and use gh when issue operations are needed.
  • For GitHub Actions, always use the latest major version of actions/*.
  • In Codex, refer to ai-rules/ (symlink to ~/.config/ai/rules) when rule context is needed.

Skills Policy

  • Store Codex skills directly under ./skills/ (one-level depth).
  • Store user-created skills directly under ./skills/ (one-level depth).
  • Store Claude skills directly under ./skills/ (one-level depth).
  • Treat each SKILL.md as a living document: update when new findings, deprecations, or version changes are confirmed.
  • When updating a skill, edit the chezmoi-managed source in this repository, not deployed copies like ~/.agents/skills/** or ~/.config/ai/skills/**.
  • After changing chezmoi-managed files, run chezmoi apply to synchronize actual files.
  • For skill maintenance work, following $chezmoi-ops is recommended.

Git / Workflow Rules

  • Keep workflows as git-light as possible while preserving safe repository inspection.
  • Read-only Git commands such as git status, git diff, git log, branch inspection, and git fetch are allowed and should be used to establish repository state before mutations.
  • Do not create commits, push branches, open pull requests, or merge changes for review-, diagnosis-, or explanation-only tasks.
  • For implementation and delivery tasks, create commits on a dedicated feature branch when needed. Pushes, pull requests, and merges require explicit user authorization or an explicitly requested delivery workflow; never push directly to the default or another protected branch.
  • Exception: if chezmoi-managed source files are changed, the chezmoi workflow may require automatic git add/commit/push when necessary unless the user explicitly opts out; this exception never authorizes a direct push to the default or another protected branch.
  • Prefer chezmoi apply / chezmoi update over direct git operations for synchronization.

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.
