a11y-toolkit: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

a11y-toolkit AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from kinti/a11y-toolkit. It costs 489 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents and contributors working on an accessibility toolkit. The toolkit checks web content against WCAG 2.2, the web accessibility guidelines, and provides a Python library, command-line tool, and MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the toolkit so changes follow its conventions and preserve its tested behavior, including accessibility findings and language support.
Why use it?
It tells contributors about required tests, naming rules, release steps, and project guarantees before they change the code.

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

This is kinti/a11y-toolkit's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on a11y-toolkit 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 a11y-toolkit 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

a11y-toolkit 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md — working on a11y-toolkit

Rules for coding agents (and humans) contributing to this repository.

What this codebase is

A zero-dependency (stdlib-only) WCAG 2.2 accessibility engine + MCP server (32 tools) + CLI. Python 3.9+. The engine runs as an MCP server, a CLI (a11ytoolkit), and is vendored by a11y.es (production). Zero telemetry is a product promise — never add phone-home code.

Non-negotiable invariants (all pinned by tests — make test runs them)

  • python3 tests/test_solido.py — es/en message catalogs key-identical, every finding has _rem remediation, version files aligned, tool/prompt counts consistent across every surface, hostile-HTML fuzz never crashes.
  • python3 tests/test_naming.py — the public surface and the code are English-only: tool params, enums, dict keys, identifiers, string-key READS, phrase-table/JS placeholder consistency. Spanish lives ONLY in lang=es output content and comments.
  • python3 tests/test_contract.py — tool schema ↔ dispatcher ↔ function signature must agree mechanically.
  • Signal→criterion map and Understanding-URL coverage are pinned in test_solido.

Conventions

  • Release flow: make release V=X.Y.Z (atomic bump, fast-suite gate, single v-prefixed commit, tag, push — PyPI publishes the tag). No intermediate work commits; the working tree is picked up whole.
  • Internal/strategy material NEVER goes in this repo (pre-commit guard blocks it; drafts live outside). Public docs are English; CHANGELOG keeps history.
  • Bilingual output: every user-facing message exists in es AND en catalogs.
  • Finding emission: add(severity, 'X.Y.Z', 'signal_name') — a new signal automatically joins the signal→criterion map (test re-derives it); a new message key needs its _rem twin in both languages.

After changing anything

make test   # all suites; red means the invariant you touched is load-bearing

The accessibility rule applies to this repo too: it must audit clean.

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.
