Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is lbk-open/super-spec's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on super-spec 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 super-spec 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

super-spec 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 12d 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.

SuperSpec Repository Guide

SuperSpec delivers portable Agent Skills (SKILL.md) from one source for Claude Code, Codex, Pi and OpenCode. This is a prompt-first toolkit, not an application server or runtime workflow engine. Correctness includes valid manifests, complete links, coherent prompt contracts and honest evidence, not live agent behavior proof.

Validation

./scripts/validate.sh
node --test --test-name-pattern='^contract:flags:' scripts/tests/workflow-contracts.test.mjs
claude plugin validate .
ls skills | grep -c '^ss-'

The validator runs all repository static prompt tests. In a delivery workflow, the owner runs selected tests only and the retained verifier owns full validation AFTER independent review. Node is required for repository tests, not prompt execution. Optional native plugin validation is explicitly disclosed when unavailable. Installation/discovery tests alter local agent configuration; run only with consent.

Source and manifests

One skill = one ss-* directory = one SKILL.md, with exactly name and description frontmatter. Keep portable descriptions (at most 1024 characters), no host-specific fields/model overrides. Shared references live in ss-references; guardrails in ss-guardrails. Install all 20 skills side by side: sibling links must survive copying.

Keep the five JSON manifests valid: package.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .codex-plugin/plugin.json, and .agents/plugins/marketplace.json. The package and both plugin versions stay aligned; Pi's ./skills declaration and local marketplace paths remain intact. The local package name is super-spec; do not claim registry/public availability from metadata. Installation uses this checkout, not an assumed published destination.

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.
