compound-engineering-pi: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

compound-engineering-pi AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi. It costs 486 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for a TypeScript command-line tool that converts Claude Code plugins for other agent platforms.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides work on target providers, conversion logic, provider-specific types, tests, and OpenCode output files.
Why use it?
It gives contributors shared rules for branching, safety, testing, file locations, and adding a new platform target.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is gvkhosla/compound-engineering-pi's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on compound-engineering-pi 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 compound-engineering-pi 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

compound-engineering-pi 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.

Agent Instructions

This repository contains a Bun/TypeScript CLI that converts Claude Code plugins into other agent platform formats.

Working Agreement

  • Branching: Create a feature branch for any non-trivial change. If already on the correct branch for the task, keep using it; do not create additional branches or worktrees unless explicitly requested.
  • Safety: Do not delete or overwrite user data. Avoid destructive commands.
  • Testing: Run bun test after changes that affect parsing, conversion, or output.
  • Output Paths: Keep OpenCode output at opencode.json and .opencode/{agents,skills,plugins}.
  • ASCII-first: Use ASCII unless the file already contains Unicode.

Adding a New Target Provider (e.g., Codex)

Use this checklist when introducing a new target provider:

  1. Define the target entry

    • Add a new handler in src/targets/index.ts with implemented: false until complete.
    • Use a dedicated writer module (e.g., src/targets/codex.ts).
  2. Define types and mapping

    • Add provider-specific types under src/types/.
    • Implement conversion logic in src/converters/ (from Claude → provider).
    • Keep mappings explicit: tools, permissions, hooks/events, model naming.
  3. Wire the CLI

    • Ensure convert and install support --to <provider> and --also.
    • Keep behavior consistent with OpenCode (write to a clean provider root).
  4. Tests (required)

    • Extend fixtures in tests/fixtures/sample-plugin.
    • Add spec coverage for mappings in tests/converter.test.ts.
    • Add a writer test for the new provider output tree.
    • Add a CLI test for the provider (similar to tests/cli.test.ts).
  5. Docs

    • Update README with the new --to option and output locations.

When to Add a Provider

Add a new provider when at least one of these is true:

  • A real user/workflow needs it now.
  • The target format is stable and documented.
  • There’s a clear mapping for tools/permissions/hooks.
  • You can write fixtures + tests that validate the mapping.

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.
