cov-loupe: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

cov-loupe AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from keithrbennett/cov-loupe. It costs 3,651 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Canonical repository guidance for AI coding agents working on cov-loupe, a tool for collecting code-coverage results and project facts. It explains the project mission, command use, environment expectations, and Ruby practices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running cov-loupe commands, investigating coverage, following the project’s shell and Ruby conventions, and updating the shared agent guidance when needed.
Why use it?
It tells agents how to obtain accurate results through the project’s tools and how to keep their work transparent and limited to the request.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is keithrbennett/cov-loupe's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on cov-loupe 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 cov-loupe configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/user/.cache/rubocop_cache/....

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

cov-loupe 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 4d 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.

AGENTS.md – Codex Cloud Guide

Project overview in README

This file provides guidance to Codex, Claude Code (claude.ai/code), Gemini CLI, and any related agents when working with this repository. Treat it as the canonical reference for workflows, tooling, and expectations; update it directly whenever new agent instructions are required.

Mission

  • Pull accurate coverage data and project facts for users by driving cov-loupe tools rather than computing it from scratch or analyzing the SimpleCov-generated coverage.json file directly.
  • Keep workflow transparent: explain what you did, why it matters, and what the user should consider next.
  • Leave the repository tidy; only touch files that advance the request. If you find other opportunities for improvement along the way, mention them in the form of a prompt the user can use later.

Running External Commands

  • When running shell commands on this project, use a Bash login shell where possible: run commands via bash -lc '' (or the platform’s equivalent) rather than relying on the default shell.
  • If practical, use workdir features of the agent rather than relying on cd in the command string

Environment & Execution

Prefer project‑local tools and scripts (for example, bin/ scripts, package.json scripts, Makefile targets) instead of ad‑hoc one‑off commands when building, testing, or running the project.

  • Prefer rg/rg --files for searches; switch only if ripgrep is unavailable.
  • Sandbox: workspace write access; network is restricted. Request escalation (with_escalated_permissions + short justification) only when indispensable.
  • Approval mode is on-request: retry failed-but-needed commands with escalation rather than asking the user manually.
  • Planning tool: skip for trivial chores; otherwise create a multi-step plan and keep it updated as you work (max one in_progress step).
  • When moving or renaming tracked files, use git mv (or git mv -k) instead of plain mv so history stays intact.

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.
