What is intelligent-code-agents AGENTS.md?

Installation instructions for Intelligent Code Agents, a tool that places skills and supporting files into coding-agent home directories such as ~/.codex or ~/.claude.

They help install the tool with its bootstrap script or local build, select targets such as Codex or Cursor, and launch it.

They explain the available installation targets and verified setup methods so the agent tools are installed in the intended location.

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	$0.00626	$0.00626
Opus 5.5	$0.00250	$0.00250
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00125	$0.00125

Security

Grade C, and why

intelligent-code-agents AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 114 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ICA Integration Guide

ICA installs SKILL.md assets and supporting defaults into agent home directories.

Terminology

Agent home: tool-specific runtime directory (for example ~/.claude, ~/.codex)
ICA_HOME: optional env var pointing to an agent home

Install Targets

claude -> ~/.claude
codex -> ~/.codex
cursor -> ~/.cursor
gemini -> ~/.gemini
antigravity -> ~/.antigravity

Install Methods

1) Verified bootstrap (recommended)

Bootstrap downloads the latest source artifact (ica-<tag>-source.tar.gz) and verifies it against SHA256SUMS.txt.

macOS/Linux:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intelligentcode-ai/intelligent-code-agents/main/scripts/bootstrap/install.sh | bash

Windows PowerShell:

iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intelligentcode-ai/intelligent-code-agents/main/scripts/bootstrap/install.ps1 -UseBasicParsing | iex

Then run:

ica install
ica launch --open=true

2) Local CLI build + run

npm ci
npm run build:quick
node dist/src/installer-cli/index.js install --yes --targets=codex --scope=user --mode=symlink

Discovery + Multi-target

Best-effort discovery is built into CLI and dashboard.

Explicit list example:

node dist/src/installer-cli/index.js install --yes \
  --targets=claude,codex,cursor \
  --scope=user \
  --mode=symlink

Project-only Install

node dist/src/installer-cli/index.js install --yes \
  --targets=codex \
  --scope=project \
  --project-path=/path/to/project \
  --mode=symlink

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.
