knocoph: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

knocoph AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jagonzalr/knocoph. It costs 1,184 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of knocoph copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

Repository instructions for developing Knocoph, a local service that turns a codebase into a searchable graph of its code and relationships. They set expectations for Node.js, TypeScript, and straightforward code design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when proposing or changing Knocoph code, especially when deciding how to structure TypeScript, retrieve code context, and keep implementations readable.
Why use it?
They give an agent consistent project context and coding rules, reducing repeated file reading and avoiding unnecessary complexity.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

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

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to jagonzalr/knocoph. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

knocoph 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 7d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to knocoph copilot-instructions.md — 60 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Knocoph

This file defines expectations and constraints for AI-assisted development in this repository. Follow these guidelines when proposing or modifying code.

What

A local MCP knowledge codebase graph.

Why

Implementing a local MCP server that transforms a codebase into a persistent graph representation allows for deterministic reasoning, reduced token consumption, and near-instant context retrieval, effectively mitigating the issues of context bloat and token expenditure that plague traditional file-reading approaches.

How

We use Node v24.13.1 for development. If needed, run nvm use 24.13.1.

All code is written in Typescript with a focus on simplicity and readability. Any developer should be able to understand the codebase without prior context.

Code guidelines:

  • Prefer explicit, boring solutions over clever abstractions
  • Avoid premature generalization
  • Optimize for readability over minimal LOC

Design principles:

  • KISS: implement the simplest solution that works today
  • DRY: remove duplication only when it meaningfully improves readability or maintenance
  • YAGNI: do not introduce abstractions, configuration, or extensibility for speculative future needs

When in doubt, prefer duplication over premature abstraction.

We write unit and integration tests for all new behavior and edge cases. We aim for at least 80% coverage, but correctness and edge cases matter more than the number itself.

After writing tests or verifying code changes, always run tests with: npm run test:ci

After code changes, always validate formatting and linting:

  • npm run prettier — run to keep consistent formatting across developers
  • npm run lint — must pass with no errors or warnings

Using Knocoph (Code Knowledge Graph)

This project is indexed with Knocoph. A persistent code knowledge graph is available via MCP tools. Use graph tools first — before reading files. This gives faster, more accurate structural answers and uses far fewer context tokens.

Rule: graph before files

Changes

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.
