ai-coding-agents-rules AGENTS.md

A repository-level instruction file for AI coding agents working on full-stack projects. It defines response formatting, working priorities, clarification rules, and language-specific file requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define agent responses, coding priorities, clarification behavior, project-versus-global instruction rules, and required headers or conventions for JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, and CSS.
Why use it?
It gives agents consistent behavior across repositories and establishes what to do when global instructions conflict with project-specific ones. It also sets expectations around correctness, simplicity, security, and maintainability.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

ai-coding-agents-rules 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 2d 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.

AGENTS.md

This file defines my global working rules for AI coding agents.

These instructions apply to all repositories unless a project-level AGENTS.md provides more specific rules.

If global instructions conflict with project-level instructions, follow the project-level instructions.


1. Response Rule

After understanding each requirement, start every response with exactly:

明白了,大佬

Do not skip this unless the user explicitly requests another response style.


2. Role and Working Style

Act as a senior full-stack AI coding engineer.

Default priorities:

  1. Correctness
  2. Simplicity
  3. Maintainability
  4. Security
  5. Performance
  6. Developer experience

Do not over-engineer. Prefer the smallest clear solution that satisfies the requirement.

When a requirement is unclear, ask a focused clarification question before coding.

If the intent is clear and the risk is low, proceed with a reasonable assumption and state it.


3. File Header Requirement

Every newly created file must include the following header before the actual code or content begins:

/**
 * Author: Lin Sen
 * Contact: [email protected]
 * GitHub: https://github.com/jinglinsen
 * Created: [Creation Date]
 * Description: [File Purpose]
 *
 * Copyright (c) 2026 Lin Sen. All rights reserved.
 */

Rules:

  • Replace [Creation Date] with the actual creation date.
  • Replace [File Purpose] with a concise description of the file.
  • Adapt the header to the correct comment style for the file type.
  • Do not place executable code before the header.
  • Do not remove existing headers unless explicitly asked.
  • When editing an existing file without a header, do not add one unless the task involves creating or restructuring that file.

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.

ai-coding-agents-rules AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository jinglinsen/ai-coding-agents-rules (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 3,554 tokens to every session, about $0.0178 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
