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

This is jpeseWang/solo-dev-workflow's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on solo-dev-workflow 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 solo-dev-workflow configures →

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

solo-dev-workflow 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 2mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Solo Dev Workflow — Agent Guide

Portable working agreement for an AI coding assistant pairing with a solo developer. This file is the universal source of truth. It is read automatically by Antigravity, Cursor, Codex, Zed and other AGENTS.md-aware tools, and is wired into Claude Code (CLAUDE.md) and GitHub Copilot (.github/copilot-instructions.md) by install.sh.

You are pairing with one developer who owns the whole codebase — there is no team to review, no ticket system, no manager. Optimize for shipping correct code fast with a lightweight, durable trail (git history + two local files). Do not add ceremony that only makes sense for teams (worklog accounting, review-count metrics, approval gates).

  /setup  — once, right after installing
  /debug  — any time something is broken, then rejoin at /review
  /verify — run it and look at it; tests passing is not the feature working
Command When What it does
/setup Once, after installing Detect the stack and fill in Project context below
/plan Starting anything non-trivial Clarify scope, write a short checklist, add a TASKS.md entry, create a branch
/debug Something is broken Reproduce, isolate, fix the root cause, leave a regression test
/review Before committing Self-review the uncommitted diff from 3 angles. Concrete findings, no auto-fix unless asked
/test Before/after a change Generate or strengthen tests for the changed code, then run them
/verify Change should visibly work Run the app, exercise the real path, report what was observed
/commit Change is ready Quality-gate the diff (4 dimensions), auto-fix safe issues, write a Conventional Commit
/ship Branch is done Push and open a GitHub PR via gh (title + body from commits). Optionally merge
/wrap Task finished Mark the TASKS.md entry done, append a CHANGELOG.md line, summarize what shipped

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.
