operator-etl: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

operator-etl AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from khaosans/operator-etl. It costs 1,026 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for coding agents working on Operator ETL, a system that processes FOIA requests and public comments. It explains which checks and project guides to follow for different kinds of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work in the repository, choosing the right task guide, or continuing work across multiple sessions. It covers verification, local demos, Google Cloud deployment, and adding new data sources.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from skipping required verification or reading project guidance in the wrong order. It also makes the rules for local testing, cloud deployment, and extensions explicit.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is khaosans/operator-etl's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on operator-etl 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 operator-etl 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

operator-etl 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 1mo 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.

Agent instructions — Operator ETL

You are operating on Operator ETL — agentic data intake for FOIA and public comments.

Human adopters: docs/QUICKSTART.md → ./scripts/verify.sh


Fast verify (do this first)

Before loading OKF or task skills:

  1. Run ./scripts/verify.sh (or make verify)
  2. Confirm output contains OPERATOR_ETL_VERIFY=PASS
  3. Report exit code + demo metrics (silver=10, quarantined=2, status=complete)

Optional: ./scripts/verify.sh --json for machine-readable result.

Skill: skills/operator-verify/SKILL.md · Full guide: docs/QUICKSTART.md

Human wiki (after verify): docs/index.md (published: https://khaosans.github.io/operator-etl/)

Only after verify passes → continue below.


Load order (extended work)

  1. Read this file fully.
  2. Read okf/index.md — progressive disclosure of the OKF bundle.
  3. Open the skill that matches the task:
  1. Follow linked OKF concepts (okf/playbooks/, okf/models/, okf/decisions/) before improvising.

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.
