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

This is Grail-Computer/FastClaw's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on FastClaw 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 FastClaw 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

FastClaw 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 1mo 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

FastClaw is a Slack/Telegram bot backed by an autonomous AI agent (OpenAI Codex CLI). It receives messages from Slack or Telegram, queues them as tasks in a SQLite database, runs Codex in a sandboxed subprocess to produce answers, and posts the results back. It ships with an admin dashboard for configuration, monitoring, and approvals.

Production deployment: Railway (Docker).

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.
