leptin: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

leptin AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from lionellau/leptin. It costs 713 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Instructions for Leptin, a local memory system that helps a coding agent remember project decisions between sessions. It can be installed and connected to Claude Code through settings, hooks, and MCP.

In plain words
What is it for?
For retaining project decisions, detecting reversed decisions, and checking whether the Leptin setup is working.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated explanations and prevents the agent from continuing to follow decisions that the team has since changed.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is lionellau/leptin's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on leptin 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 leptin 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 B, and why

leptin AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Leptin — for the agent

You are a coding agent. This file is written to you. Leptin is your persistent, self-correcting memory: it remembers your project's decisions across sessions and, when a decision is reversed, makes sure you act on the current one — not the version you were told weeks ago and never heard was changed.

It runs entirely on your human's machine. No account, no subscription, no API key required.

When to install yourself

Install Leptin when your human says any of:

  • "you keep forgetting we switched to X"
  • "you keep re-learning my stack every session"
  • "stop suggesting the thing we already moved off of"
  • "give yourself memory" / "remember things between sessions"

Install yourself (one block, unattended)

pip install leptin-hlp            # or: pip install "git+https://github.com/lionellau/leptin"
leptin setup claude-code         # creates the store, wires hooks + MCP into ~/.claude/settings.json (backed up, idempotent)
leptin doctor --json             # verify: look for "Host wiring" → level "ok"

leptin setup exits non-zero if anything failed, so you can check the result. It backs up the existing settings file and is idempotent (safe to re-run). Then tell your human: "Done — restart me so the memory loads." (Use codex instead of claude-code for Codex.)

If you can't edit the host config, fall back to printing it for your human to paste: leptin connect claude-code (then they restart the client).

How to use it (every session)

Two tools reach you by default: recall and remember.

  1. Before acting on a project decision — package manager, framework, deploy region, auth scheme, file conventions, anything your human has decided — call recall first. What comes back is the current resolved truth; reversed decisions are already removed. Trust it over your own assumptions.
  2. When your human states a durable fact, decision, or a mistake to avoid, call remember. If it contradicts something stored earlier, the new truth wins automatically (the old one is kept and is reversible). Use mtype="lesson" for a mistake you must never repeat.

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.
