duragent: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

duragent AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from giosakti/duragent. It costs 788 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project context for Duragent, a self-contained runtime for AI agents whose sessions can continue after crashes or disconnections. It describes its command-line, web, messaging, memory, scheduling, tool, and agent-file concepts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on Duragent’s sessions, gateways, tools, skills, memory, context handling, or sandbox. It is also a reference for the YAML and Markdown files that define agents.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the vocabulary and operating model of the project before code changes begin. That helps preserve durable sessions and keep features in the correct layer.

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

This is giosakti/duragent's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on duragent 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 duragent 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

duragent 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 2mo 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 — Project Context for AI Agents

Project Overview

Duragent — A durable, self-contained runtime for AI agents.

Sessions survive crashes. Agents are just files. One binary, zero dependencies.

Use it as a personal AI assistant, or as the foundation for agent-powered products.

Key Concepts

Concept Description
Session Durable conversation context; survives crashes/disconnects; attach/detach like tmux
on_disconnect continue (agent keeps working) or pause (waits for reconnect)
Core gateways CLI, HTTP REST, SSE — built into Duragent
Platform gateways Telegram, Discord — subprocess plugins via Gateway Protocol
Tools bash, CLI tools, web search/fetch, scheduled tasks, background processes
Skills Modular Markdown-based capabilities with frontmatter metadata
Memory Per-agent recall/remember/reflect + shared world knowledge
Context management Token budgeting, history truncation, priority-based rendering
Sandbox Trust mode (no isolation)
Duragent Format YAML + Markdown agent definitions

Planned

  • Sandbox isolation: bubblewrap (Linux), Docker (cross-platform)
  • MCP tool integration
  • Structured logging / metrics (OpenTelemetry)

See Project Status for the full roadmap.

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.
