AGENTS.md

maker-flow AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from LJTian/maker-flow. It costs 1,215 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for AI agents working in the maker-flow factory repository, including its language rules, entry points, six-step workflow, and file layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following the maker-flow workflow, loading the right instructions for each step, and keeping product code in the correct repository.
Why use it?
It tells agents which instructions and documents to follow, reducing mistakes such as editing the factory when work belongs in a separate product repository.

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

This is LJTian/maker-flow's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on maker-flow 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 maker-flow 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

maker-flow 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — factory (maker-flow tool repo)

English · 简体中文

Audience: AI agents working on this factory repo only.
For MVP product work, open a product repo (maker-flow new <name>) and use its AGENTS.md (from AGENTS.consumer.example.md).

Human intro: README.md · Quick start: docs/getting-started.md · Product repos: docs/consumer-project.md · i18n: docs/i18n.md

This repository is an agent playbook for shipping personal MVPs. Humans only provide requirements and approve gates.

Layout: parallel product repos — read consumer-project.md; use AGENTS.consumer.example.md in each MVP repo (maker-flow new <name>). Assembled MVPs MUST NOT be written into this factory repo.

Principle: heavy infrastructure, light logic. Prefer templates and skills over inventing scaffolding.

Language

  • Canonical contracts are the English .md files.
  • .zh-CN.md siblings are for humans only.
  • MUST NOT treat Chinese siblings as authoritative for steps, skills, or gates unless the human explicitly asks for Chinese-facing output.

Agent entry

  1. Read docs/workflow.md (state machine + hard gates).
  2. Load the skill for the current step from skills/ (start at skills/CATALOG.md).
  3. Use inputs from prompts/ (or user message equivalent).
  4. For step 4, open templates/CATALOG.md before matching.
  5. Write outputs to the paths defined by the skill.

Do not skip gates. Do not invent a new stack when templates/index.md has a match.

Six-step state machine

Step Actor Action Required reads Output
1 Human Provide requirement — requirement text
2 Agent Draft PRO skills/pro-generation.md, prompts/02-pro-draft.md, prompts/pro.template.md PRO markdown (no code)
3 Human Approve PRO — confirmed PRO → prompts/03-pro-confirmed.example.md or project pro.md (same shape as pro.template.md)
4 Agent Match template + assemble MVP skills/template-matching.md, skills/mvp-assembly.md, templates/index.md, prompts/04-assemble-mvp.md Product repo root (maker-flow new <name>)
5 Human Approve MVP skills/mvp-acceptance.md, prompts/05-accept-mvp.md, product pro.md pass/fail (+ agent evidence package)
6 Agent (on approve) Publish skills/deploy.md, prompts/06-publish.md, skills/publish-<target>.md public URL(s)

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.
