In plain words

It gives coding agents the project's required standards and known constraints before they change the code.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is jadmadi/thermal's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on thermal 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 thermal configures →

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 B, and why

thermal AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 today.

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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

* The `.github/workflows/release.yml` workflow triggers on `push: tags: ["v*"]`. It installs `upx` (`sudo apt-get install -y upx`) and runs GoReleaser (`goreleaser/goreleaser-action@v6`) to cross-compile across 5 OS/Arch

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.
