qstack AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for qstack, a project that emphasizes simple implementations and incremental development. They describe how to manage dependencies, modules, compatibility, and duplicated templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when planning or implementing qstack changes, especially around architecture, dependencies, migrations, public APIs, and shared templates.
Why use it?
They help prevent unnecessary abstractions and configuration while reducing the risk of breaking existing interfaces or files.

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

qstack 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 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.

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

AGENTS.md

  • Prefer the simplest implementation that fully satisfies current requirements. Avoid speculative abstractions, configuration, and indirection.

  • Build incrementally in working end-to-end layers. Keep the product functional after each meaningful change.

  • Remove obsolete internal paths instead of adding compatibility layers. Before breaking public APIs, persisted data, file formats, or integrations, explicitly assess compatibility and migration requirements.

  • Keep concerns clearly separated, but introduce new modules only when they create a meaningful boundary.

  • Check existing dependencies, documentation, and types before implementing functionality yourself or adding another package.

  • Prefer established, well-maintained libraries when they reduce total complexity or improve reliability.

  • Choose designs that meet present needs without creating known architectural dead ends. Do not build unused future capabilities.

  • skills/qstack-plan-to-html/template/v1/ and qstack/compound_engineering/plans/.template/v1/ are byte-identical by contract, apart from the fonts/OFL-*.txt licences. /qstack-plan-to-html never overwrites an existing copy, so a change to either directory means the same change to both. scripts/validate-template-sync checks this in CI.

  • Every branch that lands on main owns one version claim and one topmost CHANGELOG.md entry. Run scripts/qstack-version prepare --bump <level> before shipping, where <level> is major, minor, patch, or micro. Rerunning the command must converge on the existing claim unless another open pull request or existing sibling worktree already owns it.

  • version.txt uses MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO and is the release source of truth. Do not hand-edit it after the initial migration. The prepare command writes it atomically. Pull request titles keep Conventional Commit syntax; CI prefixes them with the version from version.txt.

  • Use micro for docs and tiny internal changes, patch for fixes and small additions, minor for substantial new capability, and major for breaking public changes. The identifier is monotonic release ordering, not a strict promise that every patch contains only fixes.

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.
