What is protoc-gen-psql AGENTS.md?

A set of instructions for protoc-gen-psql, a Go command-line tool that generates PostgreSQL database-definition files from Protocol Buffers message definitions. It also specifies the project’s required workflow and writing rules.

Developing, testing, planning, and documenting changes to the Go generator and its Protocol Buffers-to-PostgreSQL output.

It gives coding agents the project’s expected language, planning process, build details, and boundaries before they change the generator.

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	$0.03967	$0.03967
Opus 5.5	$0.01587	$0.01587
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00793	$0.00793

Security

Grade A, and why

protoc-gen-psql 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 16d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 335 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — protoc-gen-psql

Operational contract for AI agents (Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini) and human contributors. Source of truth for tooling, workflow, and out-of-scope items.

Tier: B (shared internal tool, no runtime SLA)
Type: 2 — Go CLI (protoc plugin binary)
Module: github.com/intrinsec/protoc-gen-psql
Purpose: generate PostgreSQL DDL files from protobuf message definitions
Go: go 1.27.3 directive, pinned exactly in CI (GO_VERSION). Tool versions pinned in Makefile + both CI files (make tools). Entry point main.go registers PSQLify() against protoc-gen-star. Build artifact: bin/protoc-gen-psql.

Language

Default agent response: English, even if user writes French. French response only when user explicitly asks French.

Caveman compression mandatory for all conversational responses (default level: full). Code blocks, commit messages, PR descriptions, security warnings, irreversible-action confirmations stay normal prose (Caveman auto-clarity rules). Do not disable Caveman unless user says "stop caveman" or "normal mode".

HARD RULE: all code, comments, identifiers, doc strings, commit messages, ADRs, technical docs in English — every project type, regardless of team spoken language. User-facing strings + UI copy exempt — match audience language.

Workflow Skills (mandatory)

Every agent session in this repo must load + apply these skill packs:

superpowers — process discipline (brainstorming, writing-plans, executing-plans, test-driven-development, systematic-debugging, verification-before-completion, requesting-code-review).
caveman — response compression (see Language section).

Pack missing? Install per iagen-dev INSTALL.md before work.

Session start gate

Before any response, clarification, repository inspection, shell command, or file edit: run superpowers:using-superpowers first, then run caveman so compression is active for every response. Use superpowers:using-superpowers to decide which additional skills apply, then follow the selected skill workflows.

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.
