source-faithful-summary-skill: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

source-faithful-summary-skill AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Kinneyzhang/source-faithful-summary-skill. It costs 389 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for producing summaries that stay faithful to their source, especially for talks, tutorials, interviews, and practical workflows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Mapping source sections, extracting concepts and failure modes, tracing action or argument chains, and checking that the final summary does not drift from the original.
Why use it?
They reduce unsupported interpretation and keep the summary focused on the source’s evidence, decisions, constraints, and main argument.

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

source-faithful-summary-skill 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md — Source-Faithful Summary Skill

Use this project as an instruction pack for source-faithful summarization.

Core behavior

Before writing a summary, do not jump straight into prose. First build intermediate artifacts:

  1. Source type classification.
  2. Source map with timestamps or section references.
  3. Named concepts and their roles.
  4. Failure modes, tensions, or default workflow being rejected.
  5. Action chain or argument chain.
  6. Decision-model map.
  7. Main-thread audit.
  8. Reverse-summary audit.

Then write the final summary.

Optimization target

Prioritize:

source fidelity > elegant argument
attention weight > concept density
evidence > vibes
decision model > isolated tips

Practical/workflow material

For workflows, demos, engineering talks, tutorials, and practical interviews, use this extraction chain:

failure mode → underlying constraint → speaker/author judgment → concrete action → tradeoff/limit

Rules

  • Do not turn the source into a general concept essay unless explicitly asked.
  • Do not let support concepts steal the spine.
  • Preserve concrete examples and named concepts that control later decisions.
  • Mark external analysis separately from source summary.
  • If transcript/source quality is limited, say so explicitly.
  • If the user provides critique from a knowledgeable reader/viewer/listener, audit the method; do not merely patch one paragraph.

Files

  • Read SKILL.md for the canonical workflow.
  • Use templates/source-map.md to structure extraction.
  • Use templates/summary-outline.md for final prose.

Long sources

For sources longer than ~50k characters, longer than ~60 minutes, or multi-speaker/panel transcripts, use templates/long-source-plan.md before summarizing. State chunking/sampling strategy, chapter coverage, recurrence checks, speaker coverage, and evidence budget.

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.
