ai-workspace-generator AGENTS.md

ai-workspace-generator AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from grojof/ai-workspace-generator. It costs 5,797 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

The main instruction guide for a command-line tool that creates and updates AI coding workspaces from one configuration. It explains shared project rules, generated tool-specific files, file formatting, commits, and code style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when contributing to or maintaining the ai-workspace-generator project, especially when changing its workspace rules, generated adapters, formatting conventions, or commit practices.
Why use it?
It gives different coding assistants one consistent set of project instructions. Updating the central guide and synchronising it reduces duplicated rules and conflicting copies.

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

ai-workspace-generator 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 360 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ai-workspace-generator — AI Agent Guide (AGENTS.md)

Node/TypeScript CLI that scaffolds and adapts AI workspaces (Claude Code + Copilot) from one config.

This file is the single source of truth for AI agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor…). Tool-specific files (CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md) are generated adapters that mirror or import this content — edit rules here, then run ai-workspace sync.

Sections between ai-workspace:begin/end markers are generated. Add your own notes outside them; they survive regeneration.

Universal conventions (Layer 0)

These apply to every contributor and every file, regardless of language.

Encoding & line endings

  • Files are UTF-8, no BOM. Newlines are LF. Final newline at EOF.
  • .editorconfig and .gitattributes enforce this — do not fight them.

Commits

  • Conventional Commits in the imperative mood: feat:, fix:, refactor:, docs:, test:, chore:.
  • Subject ≤ 72 chars, present tense ("add", not "added"). Explain the why in the body.
  • One logical change per commit. Do not mix refactors with behavior changes.

Code style

  • Match the surrounding code: naming, structure, comment density, idioms.
  • Names are descriptive and in English. No abbreviations that aren't standard.
  • Keep functions small and single-purpose. Prefer early returns over deep nesting.
  • No dead code, no commented-out blocks, no leftover debug logging.

Reviews & safety

  • Never commit secrets. Never weaken auth, validation, or escaping to "make it work".
  • Validate inputs at boundaries. Handle errors explicitly — no silent catches.
  • Changes that are hard to reverse or outward-facing need explicit confirmation.

Token efficiency (how agents should work here)

  • Reference, don't duplicate. Link to skills/docs instead of restating them.
  • Load detail on demand: read scoped instructions/skills only when relevant.
  • Prefer the living docs (docs/development/status/PROJECT-STATE.md) over re-scanning the whole repo.
  • Use context7 (MCP) for up-to-date, version-pinned library docs instead of guessing.
  • Offer, don't dump. When extra explanation is optional, offer "say X and I'll explain X" instead of long unsolicited detail.

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.
