shua-labs: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

shua-labs AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from jmenzies722/shua-labs. It costs 471 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for AI agents working on Shua Labs, an independent AI lab that builds software, systems, and companies in public. It covers the site's brand, project structure, content locations, and required checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Shua Labs pages, components, project content, styles, or routes, and when verifying tests, type checks, linting, and the production build.
Why use it?
It keeps changes consistent with the project's dark visual style, content organization, architecture, and rule against invented customers or social links. It also defines the tests and build checks required before claiming work is complete.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is jmenzies722/shua-labs's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on shua-labs 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 shua-labs 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

shua-labs 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 5d 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

Agents

How cloud agents work in this repo — the public lab surface for Shua Labs.

What Shua Labs is

An independent AI lab building software, systems, and companies in public. Not a single SaaS product. The website is the canonical public home; social distributes; GitHub proves.

Brand constraints

Read docs/BRAND.md before changing UI.

Hard rules:

  • Light Notion-like monochrome (#ffffff / #37352f), DM Sans / IBM Plex Mono — no chroma, no dark neon lab look
  • Soft panels and list rows; no background grids or glowing accents
  • Content lives in content/ — do not scatter project data through JSX
  • Mark placeholders explicitly; empty is honest

Architecture

  • App Router routes: / /work /build /build/[slug] /research /research/[slug] /about
  • Typed content: content/{types,projects,build-log,research,social}.ts
  • Layout chrome: components/layout/
  • Homepage sections: components/sections/
  • Design tokens: app/globals.css + tailwind.config.ts

Testing requirements

Before claiming done:

npm test
npm run typecheck
npm run lint
npm run build

Inspect every required route. Respect prefers-reduced-motion. Do not invent customers or live YouTube/Instagram URLs.

Bus

GitHub is the bus. Issues, PRs, and comments are the handoff channel.

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.
