Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

This is luizvb/aquiles-skill's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on aquiles-skill 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 aquiles-skill 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

aquiles-skill 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.

Aquiles Skill repository guidance

This repository packages a reusable agent skill. Keep this file small, durable, and repository-specific; put detailed workflow knowledge inside skills/aquiles/references/ and enforce repeatable checks in scripts/CI.

Source routing

Concern Source of truth
Skill activation and lifecycle skills/aquiles/SKILL.md
Phase / specialist detail skills/aquiles/references/*.md
2026 artifact requirements and sources skills/aquiles/references/artifact-standards.md
Generated product files skills/aquiles/assets/
Deterministic behavior skills/aquiles/scripts/ and scripts/validate.py
Installation install.sh
Public repository contract root README/community files and .github/

Editing rules

  • Preserve progressive disclosure: keep SKILL.md focused and link optional detail directly.
  • Keep only name and description in SKILL.md frontmatter.
  • Write imperative workflow steps with explicit inputs, outputs, owner, evidence, and gate.
  • Put reusable generated content in assets/; put repeated deterministic operations in scripts/.
  • Treat template headings, stable IDs, CLI flags, safe defaults, and overwrite behavior as compatibility surfaces.
  • Update artifact-standards.md when a material artifact contract changes; cite primary, maintained sources and record review date.
  • Do not make generated products inherit this repository's MIT license; licensing remains explicit opt-in.
  • Keep technical access distinct from mutation authorization for Git, GitHub, Vercel, domains, environment variables, billing, and destructive actions.
  • Never add live secrets, .env values, cookies, customer data, or private repository contents.

Required verification

Run before commit:

python3 scripts/validate.py

Also perform the change-specific check:

  • installer change: fresh isolated install from a clean clone;
  • template or bootstrap change: generate a disposable product and inspect every artifact;
  • workflow or safety change: forward-test representative prompts without remote mutation;
  • release-gate change: test allow, deny, missing-access, and mismatched-target cases;
  • documentation link change: verify links where network access is available.

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.
