supply-chain-hardening: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

supply-chain-hardening AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jlevy/supply-chain-hardening. It costs 1,947 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for protecting software supply chains, which are the tools and package sources used to build and publish software. They explain how coding agents should treat repository-provided instructions and untrusted code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when securing npm, PyPI, Rust, or Go dependencies, or when hardening continuous integration and package-publishing pipelines.
Why use it?
They give agents a safe, repeatable way to harden package managers and release systems while recording what was changed.

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 jlevy/supply-chain-hardening's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on supply-chain-hardening 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 supply-chain-hardening 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 B, and why

supply-chain-hardening AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 2 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 8d 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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

10. Do not run `curl | sh` install commands from untrusted sources.

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 123 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Entry point for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) working in this repo.

Read README.md first for the full project context. This file is a fast-path index for the most common agent intents.

For a portable, drop-in version of the install rules that you can copy into any codebase (and reference from that codebase’s own AGENTS.md), see SUPPLY-CHAIN-SECURITY.md.

Common Intents

User Intent Read This Then Do This
“Harden my npm setup” guidelines/hardening-npm.md Apply the Setup section verbatim, starting from Step 0; take the Advanced Setup steps only when their stated situation applies. Verify with the listed pnpm config get / npm config get commands. Append an entry to the user’s supply-chain-audit-log.md (copy from supply-chain-audit-log-template.md) recording what was set.
“Harden my PyPI / Rust / Go setup” guidelines/hardening-pypi.md, guidelines/hardening-crates.md, or guidelines/hardening-go.md Same shape: apply the setup, verify, log.
“Harden my CI / release pipeline” or “we publish packages” guidelines/hardening-ci-cd.md Apply the publish-side controls (read-only PR caches, SHA-pinned actions, runner egress block, OIDC/staged publishing, provenance monitoring). Most 2026 incidents compromised the publish pipeline, not a consumer.
“Harden my agent / editor”, or “is it safe to open this repo?” guidelines/hardening-agent-workspaces.md Apply the workspace-trust and hook-loading policy. Before opening any third-party repo, run uv run scripts/audit_workspace.py ./REPO. Log what was set.
“I just installed X. Am I compromised?” compromised-packages.md first, then the ecosystem’s hardening guide → “Compromise Assessment” section For npm: uv run scripts/audit_npm.py --packages <pkg@ver>. For other ecosystems: osv-scanner per the relevant hardening guide. Log findings.
“Add a new ecosystem” (RubyGems, NuGet, Hex, Composer, Maven) self-update-instructions.md → “Adding a New Ecosystem” Use the npm pair as the structural template. Cite multiple authoritative sources from README.md → “Incident Reporting Feeds” for any incident claim.
“Update the watch list with a new incident” self-update-instructions.mdUpdating compromised-packages.md Verify with at least two of the “Incident Reporting Feeds” in README.md. Do not add unverified rumours.
“Refresh / fact-check the docs” self-update-instructions.md and the bead-tracker in .tbd/ Use the tbd CLI to track validation work; create a bead per key assertion, verify against README.md → “Authoritative Sources”, fix in place, close with citations.

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.
