aif-handoff: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

aif-handoff AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from lee-to/aif-handoff. It costs 3,633 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project map for an autonomous task-management system with a Kanban board and AI subagents. A monorepo is one repository containing multiple related packages and applications.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on task workflows, agent adapters, the API, database, React interface, state machine, and tests.
Why use it?
It shows the system's workflow stages, technology choices, package layout, and available AI runtimes so changes fit the existing design.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents.

This is lee-to/aif-handoff's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on aif-handoff 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 aif-handoff 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

aif-handoff 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 22d 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.

Project Overview

Autonomous task management system with Kanban board and AI subagents. Tasks flow through stages automatically (Backlog → Planning → Plan Ready → Implementing → Review → Done), each handled by runtime-resolved workflows (Claude adapter first). Skills-mode tasks (useSubagents=false) can optionally insert Improve after Planning and Verify before Review.

Tech Stack

  • Language: TypeScript (ES2022, ESNext modules)
  • Monorepo: Turborepo (npm workspaces)
  • API: Hono + WebSocket
  • Runtime Abstraction: @aif/runtime workspace (runtime/provider contracts + registry)
  • Database: SQLite (better-sqlite3 + drizzle-orm)
  • Frontend: React 19 + Vite + TailwindCSS 4
  • Runtime: Pluggable adapter system (@aif/runtime) — built-in Claude (Agent SDK) + Codex (SDK/CLI/API) + OpenRouter (API) adapters
  • Agent: Runtime-neutral coordinator + node-cron
  • Testing: Vitest

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.
