math-research-harness: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

math-research-harness AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from haruhisa-enomoto/math-research-harness. It costs 2,489 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a fictional mathematical research project, including how to begin sessions and find the right project records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to classify tasks, read the relevant steering and thread records, handle literature or computations, and communicate durable findings.
Why use it?
They prevent research work from relying on the wrong scope, missing evidence, or unnecessary project files.

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

This is haruhisa-enomoto/math-research-harness's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on math-research-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

math-research-harness 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 13d 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 — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Session contract

This repository supports owner-directed mathematical research. Infer scope and authorization from ordinary conversation. Do not ask the owner to operate the harness as a configuration system. The sample thread and files explicitly marked as tutorial or fictional examples demonstrate record shape only; they are not canonical mathematical state.

Boot

Read this file first and classify the task.

  • Meta or repository work needs no mathematical thread state.
  • For mathematical work, read STEERING.md and the relevant threads/<thread>/LEDGER.md. Read docs/PROJECT-FOUNDATIONS.md only when the ledger cites it, the task spans several threads, or one of its shared conventions is genuinely load-bearing; use it then without rederiving its contents or presenting them as new.
  • If the thread has RESEARCH-QUESTIONS.md, it runs the question-driven variant in docs/RESEARCH-MODES.md: read that document and the question list whole before choosing work, and follow docs/RECORDS.md's list rules. Ordinary QUESTIONS.md files are catalogs or general question lists; their presence does not select a research mode or trigger the hooks.
  • Read threads/INDEX.md only when the thread is unclear or the task concerns the thread directory.
  • Follow ledger citations only as the task needs them. Do not load every note or claim by default.
  • For literature work, also read docs/LITERATURE.md.
  • For a manuscript citation, attribution, or related-literature audit, also read docs/CITATION-AUDIT.md. “Do citation audit for ” invokes its full scope, including missing precedents and proof-method credit.
  • For backend-dependent work, a durable computation, or a counterexample, read docs/COMPUTATIONS.md.
  • For collaboration with agents lacking repository access, read docs/COLLABORATION.md.
  • Read docs/CAMPAIGN-CONTRACT.md before an exact full-resolution campaign.
  • Read docs/REPORTS.md before producing a substantial owner-facing report.
  • Before drafting or revising a live research-paper manuscript, use write-research-paper (or polish-math-prose when polishing prose and proof presentation or repairing post-polish math-audit findings) and read docs/PAPER-WRITING.md for this repository's local overlay.
  • Before supervising a first-reader review, read docs/FIRST-READER-REVIEW.md; the isolated reader loads the portable protocol through read-research-paper.
  • Before supervising a skeptical-editor review, read docs/SKEPTICAL-EDITOR-REVIEW.md; the isolated editor loads the portable protocol through read-research-paper.

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.
