codex-sidecar AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Codex agents working on codex-sidecar, a shared execution layer that lets other tools call Codex safely.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide work on the sidecar’s CLI, MCP tools, integrations, safety behavior, and development workflow.
Why use it?
It gives agents the project’s purpose, repository structure, language rules, and engineering constraints in one place.

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

codex-sidecar 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 yesterday.

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.

Project Purpose

codex-sidecar は、kitepon.dev の AI 開発基盤群から Codex を sidecar agent として安全に呼び出すための共通実行レイヤー。

単なる codex review CLI ではなく、Throughline / Caveat / Latticeなどの 現役プロジェクトと接続できる「AI 作業OS」の部品として設計する。Claude Code が主で動く環境に、 Codex の別視点、反対意見、レビュー、調査、限定的な修正能力を差し込む。

同時に、汎用ツールとしても成立させる。設計は「generic core」と 「kitepon.dev ecosystem overlay」の二層に分ける。generic core は他の リポジトリでも単体で使える CLI/MCP/安全実行基盤、overlay はユーザーの MCP/OAuth/hook/memory/cost 系プロジェクトに強く刺さる preset / safety profile / context adapter とする。

重要な前提:

  • Claude が主導し、Codex は sidecar / second opinion として呼ばれる。
  • 呼び出し元は人間だけでなく、MCP server、hook、memory tool、cost optimizer になり得る。
  • 結果は人間向け文章だけでなく、他ツールが再利用できる machine-readable JSON として返す。
  • このrepoは単独でinstall、設定、診断、復旧、更新、releaseできる。dotagentsは 公開contractを統合するが、製品内部の状態や運用判断を所有しない。

対象 workflow と MCP tool:

  • CLI workflow review / MCP tool codex_review: diff / branch / patch の読み取り専用レビュー
  • CLI workflow explore / MCP tool codex_explore: コードベース調査とファイル参照つき回答
  • CLI workflow work / MCP tool codex_work: isolated git worktree 上での小さな修正
  • CLI workflow opinion / MCP tool codex_opinion: 設計案への反対意見、見落とし、代替案の提示
  • CLI workflow risk-check / MCP tool codex_risk_check: OAuth / MCP / secrets / Docker / hooks / CI などの重点リスク確認
  • CLI workflow auditor / MCP tool codex_auditor: primary tool-use auditor 用の pass / missingTools 判定
  • CLI workflow generate / MCP tool codex_generate: caller所有schemaによる任意の構造化JSON生成

製品管理用CLIはdiagnosticsfactory-diagnosticsfactory-errorsauth-statusauth-recoverと、耐久work用のwork-start / work-result / work-cancel / work-recover / work-auth-recoverを持つ。現在の全入口は docs/USAGE.mdを正とする。

非目的:

  • 画像生成 API 課金の回避
  • Codex App Server を一般 OpenAI API gateway として使うこと
  • active working tree を Codex に自由編集させること
  • approval prompt や危険操作を隠すこと

Repository Shape

  • packages/core/: config loading, safety policy, App Server/session handling, worktree isolation, normalized results
  • packages/cli/: codex-sidecar review|explore|work|opinion|risk-check|auditor
  • packages/mcp/: Claude Code などの MCP client から呼ぶ codex_review / codex_explore / codex_work / codex_opinion / codex_risk_check / codex_auditor
  • docs/: 設計判断、protocol 方針、safety model
  • examples/: consuming repo 側に置く .codex-sidecar.yml の例

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.
