What is source-agents AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for a TypeScript command-line project with a text-based interface. They document its folders, commands, code style, and testing expectations.

Use them when editing the project, especially when finding source files, installing dependencies, running type checks, building the command-line tool, or checking contribution conventions.

They give coding agents the project-specific rules they need to make changes that fit the existing codebase and pass its checks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00582	$0.00582
Opus 5.5	$0.00233	$0.00233
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00116	$0.00116

Security

Grade A, and why

source-agents 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 2mo 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 Guidelines

Project Structure & Modules

Source lives in src/ with ESM TypeScript.
- CLI entry: src/cli.tsx → built to dist/cli.js.
- UI: src/components/ (Ink + React).
- Logic: src/services/ (scanner, analyzer, executor).
- Helpers: src/utils/, shared types in src/types/.
Build output in dist/ (committed artifacts are not expected).

Build, Test, and Dev

Install: bun install
Dev TUI: bun run dev --root ~/projects (use --auto, --dry-run, --exclude as needed).
Type‑check: bun run type-check
Build: bun run build (emits ESM to dist/).
Start built CLI: node dist/cli.js --help
CI runs type‑check, build, and a smoke CLI help check.

Coding Style & Naming

TypeScript strict, ESM imports, 2‑space indent.
Components: PascalCase files (ResultsTable.tsx, ActionMenu.tsx).
Services/Utils/Types: lowercase filenames (scanner.ts, paths.ts, index.ts).
Use camelCase for variables/functions, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for constants, named exports preferred.
Keep functions small and pure in services/; UI logic stays in components/.

Testing Guidelines

No formal test suite yet; contributions welcome.
Prefer Vitest for unit tests; place tests under src/**/__tests__ with *.test.ts.
Target high‑value coverage for services/ (scanner/analyzer/executor). Aim for 80%+ on touched files.
Add lightweight CLI smoke tests if feasible.

Commit & Pull Requests

Use Conventional Commits: feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:, chore:.
Scope clearly and write imperative, present‑tense summaries (≤72 chars).
PRs should include: summary, motivation, screenshots or sample CLI output, steps to verify, and linked issues.
Keep diffs focused; update README or this file if behavior changes.

Security & Configuration

Requires Node 18+ and Bun 1.1+. ESM only.
Use --dry-run for potentially destructive actions; limit scans with --root.
Default excludes: node_modules, .git, dist, common build caches. Add extras via --exclude.

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.
