What is project-factory AGENTS.md?

Project-specific instructions for a multi-tool coding-agent plugin that explains its framework differences, required documents, and handoff process.

Use them when working on the Project Factory repository. They direct agents to the current project state, capability plan, requirements, framework documentation, and maintenance steps for synchronized skill references.

They tell agents which local sources to read before making substantial changes and warn that the project's framework APIs and structure may differ from familiar versions.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00508	$0.00508
Opus 5.5	$0.00203	$0.00203
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00102	$0.00102
Haiku 4.5	$0.00051	$0.00051

Security

Grade A, and why

project-factory 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 2mo 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

This is NOT the Next.js you know

This version has breaking changes — APIs, conventions, and file structure may all differ from your training data. Read the relevant guide in node_modules/next/dist/docs/ before writing any code. Heed deprecation notices.

This repo is a multi-tool plugin (Claude Code · Cursor · Codex · Copilot), with AGENTS.md + the project-factory skill as the portable core. See docs/portability.md and the README for install per tool.

Maintaining the skill: skills/project-factory/ is self-contained — its references/ holds generated mirrors of the canonical orchestration docs (MASTER-PROMPT.md, LOOP.md, checklists/quality-gates.md, commands/{init,onboard}.md). After editing any of those, run node scripts/sync-skill-refs.mjs to refresh the mirrors. --check fails if they are stale (wire it into CI if you add one).

Use docs/requirements.md to understand the requirements for the project.

Project Handoff Protocol

Before planning or implementing any substantive change, read:

docs/current-state.md for the latest persistent handoff and next-step guidance.
docs/mvp-capability-plan.md for the MVP change sequence and capability scope.
openspec/project.md and the relevant files under openspec/specs/ for current accepted behavior.
docs/adr/ for accepted architecture decisions.

Keep docs/current-state.md current when a meaningful milestone happens, especially when:

an OpenSpec change is created, implemented, validated, or archived;
a capability moves from planned to implemented;
setup instructions, validation expectations, or known blockers change;
architectural decisions are accepted or replaced.

docs/current-state.md is a handoff aid, not the source of truth. If it conflicts with code, OpenSpec specs, ADRs, or tests, verify the repo state and update the handoff file.

Write last update date/time and the current phase of the project in the file (use Kyiv time zone). Example:

- **Date and time:** 2026-04-29 16:40:00

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.
