ephemeral-buffer-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ephemeral-buffer-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from k-rister/ephemeral-buffer-mcp. It costs 891 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project workflow instructions for contributors to a Python repository, including branches, pull requests, merges, dependencies, and local checks. A pull request is a proposed change submitted for review before it is merged.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage branches and focused commits, prepare pull requests, install the locked development environment, and run the project's checks.
Why use it?
It reduces accidental direct changes to the main branch and gives contributors a consistent way to validate and merge work.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is k-rister/ephemeral-buffer-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ephemeral-buffer-mcp 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 ephemeral-buffer-mcp 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

ephemeral-buffer-mcp 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 today.

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 and Contributor Guide

This file contains project-level guidance for any coding agent or contributor. It is intentionally independent of a particular editor, coding-agent product, MCP client, or operating environment.

Project workflow

  • Keep main protected. Make changes on a development branch and open a pull request; do not push directly to main.
  • Ensure the pull request CI checks pass before merging. The repository permits maintainer overrides for exceptional cases, but those are exceptions.
  • Preserve the linear history policy. When merging, use a rebase-style merge without squashing unless the repository owner explicitly chooses otherwise.
  • Remove merged development branches locally and remotely, then verify that the local checkout is clean and synchronized with origin/main.
  • Keep commits focused and explain behavior changes in the commit message.

Local validation

Create the supported development environment with the committed Python 3.12 development lock:

python3.12 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install --require-hashes -r requirements-dev-lock-py312.txt

Run the focused suite and application coverage with deterministic test embeddings:

EPHEMERAL_TEST_EMBEDDINGS=1 .venv/bin/python -m coverage run \
  --source=. --omit='test_*.py,benchmark_concurrency.py,benchmark_effectiveness.py,benchmark_latency.py,benchmark_relevance.py,benchmark_routing.py,benchmark_prefetch.py,benchmark_agent_ab.py,benchmark_agent_ab_fixtures.py,benchmark_agent_ab_repository_fixture.py,benchmark_agent_ab_baseline.py,run_codex_agent_ab.py,release_checks.py' \

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.
