AGENTS.md

lola AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from LobsterTrap/lola. It costs 1,209 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of working instructions for Lola, a tool that stores and installs AI instructions and skills across coding assistants. It also describes the repository's coding, testing, dependency, and commit rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the Lola project, running its Python or Go checks, adding command-line commands, or following its repository workflow.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project context needed to make changes consistently and check them with the expected tools. It also records rules for avoiding secrets and keeping new command-line features tested.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is LobsterTrap/lola's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on lola 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 lola 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

lola 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 1mo 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.

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.
