PlanVisualizer AGENTS.md

A set of project instructions for PlanVisualizer that tells AI coding agents how to start work, plan changes, connect parts, and build the project. It applies across different AI coding assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting agent sessions, creating or checking project files, defining the project constitution, and following the project's blueprint, connection, and architecture phases.
Why use it?
It gives agents a shared way to work before they change code. This reduces missing files, unclear project rules, and disconnected implementation steps.

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

PlanVisualizer 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 731 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — AI Agent Operating Standards

This file defines the operational principles, architecture, and collaboration standards for all AI agents working on this project. It is platform-agnostic and applies equally whether the agent is Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), OpenCode, or any other AI coding assistant. Read this file in full at the start of every session, before any code is written or tools are built.

Platform note: This file is named AGENTS.md universally. The companion project constitution file is named PROJECT.md regardless of platform. If your AI tool requires a platform-specific filename (e.g., gemini.md for Antigravity, CLAUDE.md for Claude Code), create a symlink or copy pointing to PROJECT.md — do not maintain separate content.


🟢 Protocol 0: Initialization (Mandatory)

Before any code is written or tools are built:

  1. Verify all project files exist — Create any that are missing. The full file list and purpose of each is defined in the 📂 File & Deliverable Structure table at the end of this document.
  2. Initialize PROJECT.md — Ensure the Project Constitution is populated with data schemas, behavioral rules, architectural invariants, user profile (§5), and design system (§6).
  3. Halt Execution — No code or scripts may be written until:
  • All Discovery Questions in PROJECT.md are answered (see Phase 1)
  • The Data Schema in PROJECT.md is confirmed
  • task_plan.md has an approved Blueprint

🏗️ Phase 1: B — Blueprint (Vision & Logic)

Discovery: At project start, ask the user the following 5 questions:

  • North Star: What is the singular desired outcome?
  • Integrations: Which external services are needed? Are credentials ready?
  • Source of Truth: Where does the primary data live?
  • Delivery Payload: How and where should the final result be delivered?
  • Behavioral Rules: How should the system act? (tone, logic constraints, “Do Not” rules)

Data-First Rule: Define the JSON Data Schema (input/output shapes) before any coding begins. Coding only starts once the payload shape is confirmed.

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.
