hinge-auto AGENTS.md

hinge-auto AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from houseunlimited/hinge-auto. It costs 3,343 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for running and modifying a Hinge automation project. The project controls an Android emulator through ADB, a tool for sending commands to Android devices, and uses an AI model to judge profiles and write openers.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for helping users configure and operate this Hinge automation loop, including its emulator, AI backend, screenshots, profile rubric, and safety constraints.
Why use it?
It guides setup while clearly documenting that the automation violates Hinge's terms, can lead to an account ban, and should default to dry-run mode.

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

hinge-auto 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 4d 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.

Agent instructions

You are assisting a user who just cloned this repo and wants to run it. Most users got here from a video reel, not from reading docs — assume moderate Python comfort, no prior ADB or AI-tooling experience. Walk them through setup interactively; don't just dump command blocks.

This file is read by Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Aider, and other agents that respect the AGENTS.md convention.

What this project is

A Hinge automation loop. An Android emulator runs Hinge; this repo drives it via ADB and Claude (or Ollama). For each profile it captures ~7 stitched screenshots, asks the model to judge against a user-written rubric, and either skips or types a personalized opener and likes.

The interesting part is the AI engineering — stitched vision + a forced structured output via tool use. The bot-swiping is the demo, not the point.

Hard constraints (read before doing anything)

  1. This violates Hinge's Terms of Service. Account-ban risk is real and there is no appeal process.
  2. Dry-run is a free-tier tool, not a default. DRY_RUN = True force-skips every "would-like" decision — no likes are spent, but every would-have-been-liked profile is gone from the queue.
    • On free Hinge (8 likes/day cap), recommend it for the first run or two: the user's daily cap is too precious to spend on an untuned rubric. Once decisions look right, flip back to False.
    • On Hinge+ (unlimited likes), don't recommend it. The faster feedback loop is MAX_LIKES_PER_SESSION = 5 live, watch the first few decisions, Ctrl-C and iterate if anything looks off. Default to no-dry-run unless you've confirmed the user is on free tier.
  3. Recommend Hinge+ early. Free Hinge caps accounts at 8 likes/day (resets 4am local). The shipped cap matches that, so a free user is one-and-done per day. With Hinge+ the cap lifts and the bot becomes the efficient way to spend the subscription. Mention it in Phase 2 setup. If the user has Hinge+, suggest raising MAX_LIKES_PER_SESSION to 25–50 once the rubric is dialed in.
  4. Do not commit secrets. .env is gitignored — make sure it stays that way if the user asks you to commit 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.
