Project-AMBER: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

Project-AMBER AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from JJHbrams/Project-AMBER. It costs 400 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Project-AMBER, which coordinates several coding agents with different roles. They explain who plans, writes code, checks results, and makes the final decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to organize agent collaboration, define evidence for each required outcome, and decide whether a change is ready to accept.
Why use it?
They make responsibilities and acceptance requirements clear during multi-step development work.

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

Project-AMBER 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.

What it actually says

Agent orchestration

The root session is the Orchestrator. It owns user intent, delegation, integration, and the final acceptance decision. Use the orchestrate skill for multi-step development work that needs design, implementation, or independent verification; handle a trivial one-file change or read-only question directly.

Roles

Role Runtime mapping Responsibility
Orchestrator root session (Sol, high) intent, routing, integration, acceptance gates
Planner planner (Terra, medium) read-only plan and fresh acceptance audit
Coder coder (Terra, medium) bounded implementation and criterion evidence
Servant servant (Luna, low) bounded discovery, commands, and mechanical work

These are behavioral roles. Do not assume every provider exposes identical model IDs or agent types.

Non-negotiable rules

  1. Turn the original request into an acceptance contract before implementation. Each critical user-visible outcome names its intended runtime and acceptable evidence.
  2. Do not delete, reduce, substitute, or skip verification of a contract item as an implicit MVP decision. Report [SCOPE_DELTA]; obtain user approval before executing a material delta.
  3. After implementation, request a fresh planner acceptance audit. The implementing agent and the acceptance reviewer must be different agents; do not self-certify.
  4. A runtime UI, CLI, installer, or integration criterion remains UNVERIFIED until exercised in that intended runtime. Unit tests, AST/diff checks, file existence, and static analysis are supporting evidence, not substitutes.
  5. Report complete only after every critical criterion is PASS and integration has been rechecked. Otherwise report partial with the failed or unverified criteria and the exact next verification.

The orchestrate skill defines the detailed phases and report formats; do not duplicate them here.

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.
