What is GPaste AGENTS.md?

A repository guide for working on Keruspe/GPaste, a clipboard manager for Linux. It documents the build commands, code conventions, D-Bus interfaces, and optional features.

Use it when building, configuring, or changing GPaste with Meson and Ninja, or when working on its GNOME, encryption, database, or keyring features.

It gives coding agents the project rules and build details they need, including which missing dependencies can silently disable features.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.08088	$0.08088
Opus 5.5	$0.03235	$0.03235
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01618	$0.01618
Haiku 4.5	$0.00809	$0.00809

Security

Grade A, and why

GPaste 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 10d 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.

Build

GPaste uses Meson + Ninja:

meson setup build
ninja -C build

The build directory is build, not builddir.

Build options (meson setup build -Doption=value, or meson configure build). The feature ones default to auto: enabled when the dependency is found, skipped otherwise, so a build silently loses a feature if its dependency is missing — pass enabled to make that fatal.

Option	Type	Default	Description
`encryption`	feature	auto	libsodium-based history encryption (`G_PASTE_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION`)
`sqlite`	feature	auto	SQLite storage backends, needs SQLite ≥ 3.35 (`G_PASTE_ENABLE_SQLITE`)
`libsecret`	feature	auto	passphrase in the keyring, only with `encryption`: `enabled` without it is a configure error, `auto` then disabled (`G_PASTE_ENABLE_LIBSECRET`)
`pwquality`	feature	auto	password strength rating: the passphrase of an encrypted history, and a new password item (`G_PASTE_ENABLE_PWQUALITY`)
`gnome-shell`	bool	true	GNOME Shell extension + mutter clipboard backend, needing `introspection` (`G_PASTE_ENABLE_GNOME_SHELL`); the overview's search provider is installed either way
`introspection`	bool	true	Generate GIR data
`vapi`	bool	true	Generate Vala bindings (errors out without `introspection`)
`systemd`	bool	true	systemd user units, which the D-Bus service files name (`SystemdService=`) only when installed
`bash-completion`, `zsh-completion`, `fish-completion`	bool	true	Shell completions

Four string options — dbus-services-dir, dbus-interfaces-dir, control-center-keybindings-dir and systemd-user-unit-dir — override install paths that are otherwise queried from dbus-1 (the first two), gnome-keybindings and systemd via pkg-config. Setting them is how a packager avoids pulling those in as build dependencies; they are still required at runtime.

Changes

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.
