shipproof: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

shipproof AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from kingggg5/shipproof. It costs 1,028 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for ShipProof, a dependency-free checker that scans AI-written code for production risks and can enforce resource and capacity limits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing scanner rules, tests, capacity checks, distribution adapters, or verification steps for the command-line tool, GitHub Action, pre-commit hook, or MCP server.
Why use it?
They define the project's safety boundaries and the evidence required before a scanner rule or other change is considered complete.

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

This is kingggg5/shipproof's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on shipproof 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 shipproof 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

shipproof 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.

AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI coding agents (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and others) working in this repository.

What this repository is

ShipProof is a zero-dependency production gate for AI-written code: a static scanner (skills/audit-production-readiness/scripts/scan_repo.py), a resource-budget gate, a capacity model with k6 generation, and thin distribution adapters (npm CLI in lib/, GitHub Action, pre-commit hook, MCP server). Read README.md for the product contract and CONTRIBUTING.md before changing anything.

Non-negotiable rules

  • The default workflow stays read-only, offline, and dependency-free. Never add telemetry, network calls, install scripts, or dependency downloads to the default path.
  • Never copy rules or guidance from Semgrep or any license-restricted source. Build detectors from primary sources (CWE, OWASP, framework docs, real CVEs) with your own implementation and fixtures.
  • Every scanner rule needs a stable SPxxx ID, positive and negative tests, a CWE/control mapping, remediation text, and a false-positive analysis. Update both README rule tables when rules change — a structure test enforces this.
  • Exit codes are a contract: 0 pass, 1 gate failure, 2 invalid or unavailable evidence. Do not change them casually.

Verify before declaring done

npm run check        # lint + full test suite + pack check + packed-artifact smoke test
python skills/audit-production-readiness/scripts/scan_repo.py . --fail-on high

Both must pass with zero findings at the high gate. If your change adds findings in test fixtures, obfuscate the vulnerable literal (string concatenation) instead of weakening the gate.

Where things live

  • Scanner rules and engines: skills/audit-production-readiness/scripts/scan_repo.py (RULES tuple, RULE_EXPLANATIONS, regex + Python AST engines).
  • Node CLI, policy parser, evidence adapters, MCP server: lib/*.mjs.
  • Compatibility contract: fixtures/golden-contract/ + fixtures/expected-golden-scan.json — identical findings and fingerprints through direct Python, the Node CLI, and SARIF. Update the expectation deliberately when a detection change is intended.
  • Tests: tests/ (Python) and tests/node/ (Node). Both run in CI across Python 3.10/3.11/3.12/3.13/3.14 and Node 20/22/24.

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.
