ai-research-arm: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

ai-research-arm AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from guzus/ai-research-arm. It costs 2,365 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Agent instructions for AI Research Arm, a system that runs scheduled research workflows from sources such as RSS feeds, arXiv and community sites. They direct agents to the full operating guide and distinguish runnable features from boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding the correct project documentation, understanding scheduled research jobs and selecting the permitted execution path for each supported source.
Why use it?
They help an agent choose the approved workflow and research adapter instead of using an incompatible or unregistered route.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PreToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; reads ~/.codex paths.

This is guzus/ai-research-arm's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on ai-research-arm 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 ai-research-arm 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

ai-research-arm AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Agents working in this repo: read CLAUDE.md — it is the full operating guide (pipeline architecture, workflows, output locations, authentication, and the load-bearing rules). This file is a short pointer plus the few genuinely agent-specific notes.

New to the repo and not operating the live pipeline? Start with README.md — its Quickstart runs with no accounts, and it documents the License and the runnable-vs-not boundary.

Agent-specific notes

  • Langfuse research pilot and RSI: follow docs/research-observability.md. Capture attempts before transcript overwrite, keep Langfuse keys in separate reporting jobs, and treat missing telemetry as unknown. Retain RSI candidates only after frozen matched evaluation and reserved-case transfer; trace installation alone does not demonstrate improvement.

  • Scheduled model workflows use the Claude-harness .github/actions/agent-run directly or, for RSS, community, arXiv, Bluesky, wiki, Korean translation, and Aradio, the trusted .github/actions/agent-dispatch. RSS/community/Bluesky reference research-editorial; arXiv/wiki reference research-editorial-secondary. Since 2026-11-05 all strict routes use Cursor Grok 4.6 Fast after canary 41962718497 passed. Claude executions hit a weekly-limit HTTP 429 before doing work; OpenCode canary 41962723359 failed before its GLM probe, so OpenCode recovery remains unverified. All strict routes temporarily share Cursor. Restore research-editorial to opencode-glm-5p3-flash only after its registered editorial canary passes. Host-checkout agent-run remains capability-incompatible. Direct Claude workflows may still use anthropics/claude-code-action@v1; when they do, pass the model via claude_args, never as a separate model: input:

    # Correct (v1)
    claude_args: "--model claude-sonnet-5-5"
    
    # Wrong (do not use a separate model input here)
    model: <versioned-model-name>

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.
