recursive-agent-improvement: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

recursive-agent-improvement AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from H-Ali13381/recursive-agent-improvement. It costs 236 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for maintaining the recursive-agent-improvement skill, which helps an agent improve its own working process. They identify the source files, bundled training template, mirrored copy, and validation commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Editing this skill, synchronizing its root and mirror files, checking that it can be installed, and validating the skill package.
Why use it?
They prevent the published skill and its discovery mirror from becoming inconsistent or containing private or generated material.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is H-Ali13381/recursive-agent-improvement's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on recursive-agent-improvement 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 recursive-agent-improvement 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

recursive-agent-improvement 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.

What it actually says

Agent Notes

This repository publishes one Agent Skill: recursive-agent-improvement.

Canonical files:

  • SKILL.md is the source of truth for the skill.
  • assets/pytorch-training-pipeline/ contains the bundled specialist-training template referenced by the skill.
  • .agents/skills/recursive-agent-improvement/ is a cross-client discovery mirror containing the same SKILL.md and bundled assets.

When editing the skill, update the root SKILL.md and assets/ first, then copy them to the mirror path so the discoverable package stays complete.

Related skill:

Installability check:

npx skills add H-Ali13381/recursive-agent-improvement --list

Validation check:

npx skill-tools check .
npx skill-tools check .agents/skills

Do not add private paths, secrets, local debug notes, model weights, generated reports, or session-specific history to this public skill artifact.

Changes

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.
