the-loop: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

the-loop AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop. It costs 106 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for working on the-loop, a project that builds and uses its own work system. They tell agents which configuration and skill files to read, how to follow selected work graphs, and where to record verification evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to guide work items, record verification evidence, update capability documentation, and use the project's ticket, comment, question, and pull-request actions.
Why use it?
They keep implementation work consistent with the project's process and preserve evidence that the work was checked.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on the-loop 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 the-loop 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

the-loop 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 15d 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 it actually says

Working in the-loop

Read .the-loop/harness-config.yaml, skills/the-loop/SKILL.md, and the relevant skill references before implementing a work item. This repository builds and uses the-loop. Follow the work item's selected graph, record verification evidence under docs/specs/<id>/evidence/, and update affected capability docs with code. Use the-loop's ticket, comment, ask and PR verbs when available. Explicit user instructions and the work item's frozen selections govern scope and approvals.

Changes

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.
