tiding AGENTS.md

tiding AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from iXanadu/tiding. It costs 1,919 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for tiding, a memory service for AI agents built with FastAPI and vector search. They define where the public backlog, decisions, lessons, and completed work should be recorded.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining the backlog, recording project memory, triaging defects, and checking repository content for private names, paths, hosts, or other sensitive details.
Why use it?
Work can become inconsistent when tasks, decisions, and security details are stored in different places. The instructions establish sources of truth and rules for keeping public repository content safe.

Getting it into your agent

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

tiding AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 3d 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 — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Tiding

Public repository — treat anything committed here as permanent and world-readable. Use placeholders for hosts, domains, personal paths and internal names, and run scripts/repo-hygiene-check.sh before committing (it must report denylist enforced; without a local .hygiene-denylist it does not check names).

Generic semantic memory service for AI agents. FastAPI + pgvector + in-process sentence-transformers embeddings.

Sources of Truth

  • BACKLOG.md (repo root) — the single source of truth for OPEN work. Lean ledger, open items only, written as if public (no completed items, no vuln detail, no PII/topology/client names). Standard: docs/backlog-standard.md. READ IT EVERY SESSION.
  • Journal → engram memory (scope=project): completed-item stories (fix/<id>), decisions (decision/*), lessons (lesson/*, scope=shared), long item detail (backlog/<ID>), open-vuln repro detail (vuln/<ID> until shipped). Memory-first; no state files.

The Backlog — READ EVERY SESSION, SWEEP EVERY WRAPUP

BACKLOG.md is force-loaded each run. Triage every defect on discovery: BLOCKING (breaks build / wrong-or-harmful output / destroys data → fix now) vs DEGRADING (still does its job → add a ledger line and keep moving). If it's not in the ledger, it's not tracked. When idle, pull the top OPEN item. Done = delete the line in the same commit as the fix — never accumulate FIXED sections; the story goes to memory. Repo hygiene: scripts/repo-hygiene-check.sh must stay clean (assume-public doctrine).

Project Structure

  • server/ — FastAPI app (config, db, embeddings, auth, routers, services)
    • server/services/ — memory_service.py (all CRUD), principal_service.py (identity/auth)
    • server/routers/ — memory.py, admin.py, principals.py
    • server/auth.py — PrincipalAuthMiddleware (two-mode: enrichment vs enforcement)
    • server/dependencies.py — auth helpers (get_current_principal, require_admin, check_namespace_access)
  • integrations/homeassistant/ — Pyscript client + Blueprint for HA voice assistants
  • integrations/claude-code/ — MCP bridge (engram-mcp) for Claude Code
  • scripts/ — install/start/restart/uninstall + migrate_ha_memory
  • launchd/ + systemd/ — Service templates
  • tests/ — 400+ server tests (API, auth, admin, embeddings, e2e, memory_service, principal_service, permissions, bootstrap, seats/registry, inbox/wake, channels-rip); plus 340+ MCP-bridge tests under integrations/claude-code/tests/
  • docs/ — Getting-started, messaging, multi-provider, backlog standard, design/ (architecture, credentials); docs/archive/ holds superseded-era docs

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.
