exstruct AGENTS.md

A project guide for AI coding agents working on ExStruct, a codebase with a library, tests, sample workbooks, schemas, benchmarks, scripts, and documentation. It identifies where developer documentation and task work belong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when navigating ExStruct, adding or updating developer documentation, working with schemas or benchmarks, or planning multi-step and multi-agent changes.
Why use it?
It helps agents place information in the right directories and follow the project’s preferred workflow, including planning larger or architectural tasks before editing.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

exstruct 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.

ExStruct AI Agents Guide

0. Overview

This repository is organized around the following top-level directories:

exstruct/
|- src/           # Main library and implementation code
|- tests/         # Automated tests
|- sample/        # Sample workbooks and example inputs
|- schemas/       # JSON schemas and validation-related assets
|- scripts/       # Utility and maintenance scripts
|- benchmark/     # Benchmark code and performance measurements
|- docs/          # User-facing documentation
|- dev-docs/      # All developer-facing documentation
|- tasks/         # Temporary task notes and working files
|- drafts/        # Draft documents and work-in-progress materials
|- dist/          # Build artifacts and packaged outputs
`- site/          # Generated documentation site output

For internal development guidance, architecture notes, ADRs, specifications, and testing references, use dev-docs/ as the canonical location. Developer-facing documentation should be written there rather than scattered across the repository.

1. Workflow Design

1. Use Plan mode by default

  • Always start tasks with 3 or more steps, or tasks that affect architecture, in Plan mode
  • If things stop going well partway through, do not force it; stop immediately and replan
  • Use Plan mode not only for implementation, but also for verification steps
  • Write detailed specifications before implementation to reduce ambiguity

2. Multi-Agent Strategy

  • Actively use sub-agents to keep the main context window clean
  • Delegate research, investigation, and parallel analysis to sub-agents
  • For complex problems, use sub-agents to apply more compute resources
  • To keep execution focused, assign one task per sub-agent
  • Use explorer for read-heavy codebase exploration
  • Use worker for implementation and fixes
  • Use reviewer for reviews

3. Self-Improvement Loop

  • Whenever you receive a correction from the user, record that pattern in tasks/lessons.md
  • Write rules for yourself so you do not repeat the same mistake
  • Keep improving those rules thoroughly until the error rate goes down
  • At the start of each session, review the lessons relevant to the project

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.
