strix-halo-guide: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

strix-halo-guide AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from hogeheer499-commits/strix-halo-guide. It costs 2,053 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for agents working on an evidence-based setup and benchmark project for AMD Strix Halo and Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 local AI systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess new models, drivers, firmware, AI tools, regressions, fixes, reproducibility risks, and evidence needed for hardware recommendations.
Why use it?
It keeps technical updates tied to real setup, performance, compatibility, and buyer questions instead of unsupported benchmark claims.

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

strix-halo-guide 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 11d 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.

Core Project Lens

strix-halo-guide is primarily an evidence-backed AMD Strix Halo / Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 local-AI setup and benchmark guide.

The project now also has a vendor / partner / sponsor-facing direction: benchmark work should show how the guide reduces adoption friction for AMD Strix Halo / Ryzen AI MAX+ local-AI hardware.

When the user asks "is er nieuws?", "updates?", "wat moeten we testen?", or anything similar, evaluate updates through two layers:

  1. Technical value:

    • new models
    • new llama.cpp, Ollama, ROCm, Mesa, vLLM, driver, BIOS, or tooling changes
    • benchmark regressions or improvements
    • new blockers, fixes, or reproducibility risks
  2. Adoption / commercial value:

    • what buyer uncertainty does this remove?
    • what setup friction does this reduce?
    • what vendor/OEM/reviewer/product question does this answer?
    • what evidence would make someone more confident buying, recommending, supporting, or reviewing the hardware?
    • what missing hardware, firmware, driver support, vendor contact, or community data is needed to prove the next thing?

Higher t/s is useful, but it is not the only priority. Treat benchmarks as the proof layer and vendor/partner/sponsor docs as the leverage layer.

Documentation Style

  • Write in clear, professional English.
  • Keep the repo primarily useful to developers, buyers, and benchmark contributors.
  • Keep vendor-facing language credible, independent, and evidence-based.
  • Prefer links to existing evidence over duplicating long benchmark sections.
  • Use TODO placeholders for missing stats, contact details, quotes, traffic, sponsors, or evidence.
  • Preserve negative results, caveats, and failed paths.
  • Do not make the README feel like an advertisement.
  • Keep machine-specific workflow, local services, ports, account operations, and private maintainer procedures out of public docs.

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.
