What is agentic-controller AGENTS.md?

Repository guidance for a Kubernetes controller that manages AI-agent workloads. Kubernetes is software for running and coordinating containers, while controllers continuously make the cluster match declared resource definitions.

Use it when editing custom resources, controllers, reconciliation logic, architecture decisions, or generated Go code.

It points agents to the project glossary, architecture decisions, Go code locations, and required regeneration steps, reducing incorrect changes to the controller.

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	$0.01130	$0.01130
Opus 5.5	$0.00452	$0.00452
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00226	$0.00226
Haiku 4.5	$0.00113	$0.00113

Security

Grade A, and why

agentic-controller 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.

Agentic Controller — Agent Instructions

All agent-facing guidance for this repository. Read this file first.

What this project is

A Kubernetes controller for managing AI agent workloads. Defines CRDs (Agent, AgentRun, AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowRun, SkillCard, SkillCollection, Gateway) and controllers for composing and executing agent workloads via Agent Sandbox.

Key documents

CONTEXT.md — Domain glossary. Canonical definitions for all project-specific terms. Consult before using any domain term.
docs/adr/ — Architecture Decision Records. Read before proposing changes that contradict existing decisions.

How to work in this repo

Go code

This is a controller-runtime project. Follow standard controller-runtime patterns:

CRD types live in api/v1alpha1/
Controllers live in internal/controller/
Use sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime for reconciliation
Use kubebuilder markers for CRD generation
Run make to regenerate code after modifying type files

ADRs

ADRs are living documents. Preserve the original context and decision, but amend an accepted ADR in place when implementation or context changes. Each amendment must be a dated Update (YYYY-MM-DD): ... note, and the header's Last updated field must be kept current. Do not silently rewrite history. Create a new ADR that supersedes the old one only for a full reversal or incompatible replacement of the decision. See docs/adr/README.md for the convention, template, and reconciliation log.

Use the grill-with-docs skill when stress-testing a design decision. It will challenge the plan against the existing domain model in CONTEXT.md and create ADRs as decisions crystallise.

Commits

Write concise commit messages that describe what changed and why
One logical change per commit
Reference issue numbers when applicable

Submitting a PR

Two repo conventions are enforced by CI (.github/workflows/pr-checks.yml) and are easy to miss. Use the submit-pr skill for the full workflow.

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.
