AGENTS.md

mind-vault AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from infohata/mind-vault. It costs 3,177 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository guidance for AI coding assistants working on mind-vault, a collection of reusable agent skills, agent definitions, rules, and documentation. It explains the project structure, commands, workflow, and installation methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing mind-vault, including its skills, agents, rules, documentation, or plugin setup. It also describes the available installation workflows and git practices.
Why use it?
It gives agents shared context and working rules for a repository that has no normal application build or test process.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions subagents.

This is infohata/mind-vault's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on mind-vault 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 mind-vault configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/kestas/projects/mind-vault/....

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

mind-vault 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 1mo 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.

AGENTS.md - Coding Guidelines for mind-vault

This guide is for agentic coding assistants (Claude Code, OpenCode, Grok Build) working in this repository.

Project Overview

mind-vault is a centralized configuration, skills, and rules repository for AI agents. It contains:

  • skills/ - Reusable agent skills (SKILL.md files)
  • agents/ - Custom agent definitions (AGENT.md files)
  • rules/ - Shared behavioral rules (RULE.md files)
  • docs/ - Analysis and pattern documentation
  • .claude-plugin/ - Claude Code plugin manifests (additive CC install channel; see below)
  • .grok/ - Grok Build project config + native agents/skills symlinks (see docs/guides/GROK_BUILD.md)

This is not a typical application - there are no tests, build steps, or runtime execution. Focus is on clarity, completeness, and reusability.

Distribution — two channels. mind-vault installs into agent hosts via per-host symlink scripts (scripts/setup-*-symlinks.sh, including setup-grok-symlinks.sh for Grok Build) or, on Claude Code only, as a native plugin (/plugin marketplace add infohata/mind-vault → /plugin install mv@mind-vault). The two coexist but pick one per machine (both = double-load). On the plugin channel, commands/ entries namespace under mv: (type /mv:wrap), while skill triggers are unaffected (description-invoked). rules/, docs/rules/, and the statusline stay script-wired on both channels.

Commands & Workflow

Git Workflow

CRITICAL: All git operations follow rules/RULE_git-safety.md

Key requirements:

  • Work on feature branches only (never commit to main or the release branch)
  • Commit freely on feature branches — the PR is the human review gate, not each commit
  • Never merge into main or the release branch — the human merges on GitHub
  • Use --force-with-lease (never plain --force); never bypass hooks with --no-verify

See rules/RULE_git-safety.md for full details.

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.
