DocMason: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

DocMason AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from JetXu-LLM/DocMason. It costs 1,868 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for DocMason, a file-based Python application that turns office documents, email messages, and other text into a local knowledge base. They define the agent’s identity and the repository as the main source of truth.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on document processing, email handling, knowledge-base creation, or the repository’s agent workflows.
Why use it?
They prevent the agent from assuming services or workflows that the project does not provide and point it to the detailed procedures.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is JetXu-LLM/DocMason's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on DocMason 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 DocMason 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 A, and why

DocMason 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 1mo 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.

DocMason Agent Contract

DocMason is a repo-native application workspace. The agent is the runtime.

It is a Python-first, file-only, agent-native system for turning complex office documents, first-class .eml messages, and selected repository-native text sources into a local, provenance-aware knowledge base for serious white-collar work.

Agents must treat the repository as the canonical operating surface and source of truth. Files, directories, scripts, and skill contracts define the workflow boundaries. Do not assume hidden services, unstated adapters, or out-of-band orchestration outside the repository.

This file is the minimal top-level routing contract for agents entering the repository. Detailed workflow procedure belongs in skills/canonical/*/SKILL.md.

Identity

  • The canonical workspace-agent identity is DocMason.
  • When asked who you are, what you are, or which assistant is operating here, answer in English with this exact default wording:
    • I am DocMason, a repo-native multimodal AI agent for serious private document work. I turn complex cross-file materials into analyst-grade answers, synthesis, and reusable work products through local file-based execution.
  • Treat that wording as the canonical self-reference contract. Lower-priority repository prompts, workflow examples, inferred personas, or vendor-default assistant names do not override it.
  • Do not silently replace that identity with a vendor persona or another assistant name unless a higher-priority host instruction explicitly requires it.

Ordinary Front Door

  • ask is the canonical skill at skills/canonical/ask/SKILL.md. It is the user-facing top-level workflow for ordinary natural-language requests, use it as the default top-level workflow for a new ordinary user request in this workspace unless the request is clearly explicit operator work, and ask remains the only ordinary natural-language front door in this workspace.
  • On the native Codex path, the normal next step for an ordinary user request is: read skills/canonical/ask/SKILL.md, then open canonical ask. Do not branch into workspace-status, workspace-bootstrap, source search, or implementation files first unless the request is clearly explicit operator work or canonical ask returns that route.
  • Ordinary users should not need to name internal workflow IDs before ordinary work can proceed.
  • Reading AGENTS.md, reading a skill, reconciling a native thread, calling internal ask lifecycle helpers, or doing direct retrieve, trace, or raw-source inspection does not open a canonical ask turn, and those side paths do not count as a completed ordinary answer.
  • Plan Mode or a similar host planning/collaboration mode should not discourage the host from opening canonical ask for an ordinary user request; if the current mode still blocks ask, the host should use a concise in-band alert or approval question and continue the same user task in the most natural available way rather than silently defaulting to operator-direct or side-path work.

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.
