agent-orchestrator-ts: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-orchestrator-ts AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jleechanorg/agent-orchestrator-ts. It costs 4,518 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for coding agents working on a specific software project. It tells them how to add capabilities and when to send work to an AO worker, a separate task-running agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide agents handling general tasks, pull requests, or tracked work items in this repository. It also documents how to install the project's agent skill.
Why use it?
Without project-specific instructions, an agent may use the wrong development process or bypass the repository's preferred way of doing work.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is jleechanorg/agent-orchestrator-ts's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-orchestrator-ts 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 agent-orchestrator-ts 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

agent-orchestrator-ts 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 9d 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.

Agent Orchestrator — Agent & Contributor Guidelines

This file guides AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) working on this codebase.

Development Hierarchy — How to Add Capabilities

Before writing any code, ask: "Can I achieve this without changing core?"

Follow this order strictly:

1. Dispatch an AO Worker (default — almost always)

When given a task, dispatch an AO worker first — not claude -p, not manual investigation, not a one-off script. AO workers are the standard execution model for all work in this repo.

# General task
ao spawn "fix the rate limit handler in scm-github"

# On a specific PR
ao spawn --project agent-orchestrator --claim-pr <N>

# On a bead
ao spawn --project agent-orchestrator --bead bd-xxx

AO workers are general-purpose. They are not limited to claiming PRs — a worker can do any task. Only fall back to direct CLI (claude -p, claude --print) for quick one-liners, diagnostics, or when AO is genuinely unavailable.

AO usage skill: skills/agent-orchestrator/SKILL.md

  • bash scripts/setup.sh installs this repo skill into ~/.claude/skills/agent-orchestrator and ~/.codex/skills/agent-orchestrator.
  • Read it when you need the concrete AO command workflow instead of improvising session management.

2. Use Config First

Check whether agent-orchestrator.yaml already supports what you need:

  • reactions — add/override event reactions (ci-failed, changes-requested, agent-stuck, etc.)
  • agentRules — per-project or global instructions injected into agent system prompts
  • notificationRouting — control which notifiers receive which priority levels
  • defaults — set default runtime, agent, workspace, notifiers
  • projects[*].agentConfig — per-project model, permissions, environment

If the config surface can express the behavior, stop here. No code needed.

3. Make a New Plugin (existing plugin slot)

If config is not enough, implement a plugin using an existing slot:

  • runtime — how sessions run (tmux, docker, etc.)
  • agent — how to talk to an AI agent (claude-code, codex, cursor, opencode, etc.)
  • scm — source control operations (GitHub, GitLab, etc.)
  • tracker — issue tracking (GitHub Issues, Linear, etc.)
  • notifier — notifications (Slack, Discord, openclaw, webhook, etc.)
  • workspace — how worktrees are set up (worktree, docker-volume, etc.)

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.
