subagent-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

subagent-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Heretyc/subagent-mcp. It costs 3,142 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions that define how work on the Heretyc/subagent-mcp project must be planned, reviewed, and approved. They make the project board the main record of planning and status, subject to the documented alignment rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when contributing to that repository, especially for checking project status, preparing plans, requesting required human choices, and keeping the README premise aligned with the project.
Why use it?
They give agents a fixed process for handling changes and human decisions instead of allowing each agent to invent its own workflow. They also define terms such as repository work, human review, and project premise.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is Heretyc/subagent-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on subagent-mcp 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 subagent-mcp 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

subagent-mcp 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 10d 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.

Repository Agent Instructions

Standing repository rules

  • Every PR requires a GitHub issue, filed and linked before the PR opens. Reuse a suitable existing issue when it already captures the work; otherwise create one first. Issue linkage is required independently of project-board membership or board field completeness.
  • Code MUST align with the repo Spec docs, and Spec MUST align with the README Core Premise at all times. The Premise is always the tie-breaker; if in doubt, raise a structured question with the human.
  • An ordinary contribution requires no project-board access, project attachment, board fields, board sweep, board HR-queue drain, or board-specific approval. Normal code review, required checks, and security gates apply in full.

Conditional routing: project board

For explicit project-board requests only - board planning, board status, board maintenance, or board management - load repo-skills/project-board/SKILL.md from a source checkout of this repository. The board procedures and their canonical home live there. That path exists only in the repository itself and is not part of any published package, so check that the file is present before loading it. If it is absent, state that the board skill is unavailable in this environment and stop; do not substitute another source or act on remembered board rules. Do not load it for ordinary contributions, and never load it unconditionally.

Content Policy - No Historical Framing (Standing, Unskippable)

Repo content states only the current objective truth. This rule is always in effect, at maximum strength, and applies to every tracked file.

  • No historical context or origin stories. Do not narrate how a system, methodology, or decision came to be.
  • No allusions to previous versions, iterations, sessions, or rejected designs (no "v1/v2/v3", no "Approach A/B", no "the old system").
  • No "formerly / replaces / superseded / was / updated from / previously" meta-framing about the repo's own design.
  • No changelog narration in docs, and no dated "as of , N tasks complete" journaling.
  • Git history is the sole record of how anything changed; never restate that history in prose.
  • Do not include AI attribution or co-author lines in PRs, commits, manifests, docs, or generated project metadata.

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.
