Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is kotobuki09/instructree's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on instructree 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 instructree 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

instructree 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

Contributor instructions

  • Keep Instructree dependency-free at runtime.
  • Use Node.js built-ins and support Node.js 20 or newer.
  • Add or update a focused node:test case for every behavior change.
  • Preserve deterministic output: sort discovered paths and diagnostics.
  • Describe heuristic findings as possible conflicts, never as proven agent behavior.
  • Run npm test and npm run check before submitting a change.

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.
