Ghostex AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Ghostex, a large application repository with separate shippable apps, embedded pages, reusable packages, and third-party code. They also explain a recent repository restructuring and important project vocabulary.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when locating files, navigating the reorganized repository, deciding where a change belongs, or working alongside other coding agents.
Why use it?
They prevent agents from relying on outdated paths or confusing application, page, library, and external-code directories.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 C, and why

Ghostex AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 2d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Before running any destructive command, including but not limited to `git restore .`, `git checkout -- .`, `git reset --hard`, `git clean`, `rm -rf`, or deleting untracked files, you must:

Rules for Agents working in this Repository

General notes

  • Multiple sub-agents are working in this repository. Don't be alarmed if something gets changed around your code. This is normal. Just get your work done without affecting the work of other sub-agents or breaking their work.
  • Don't get stuck on stale git locks. You can delete those and continue on your work without confirmation.

Repository layout (restructured 2026-08-22)

The repository root was restructured on 2026-08-22. Old top-level folders (gpui/, native/, ghostex-web/, gxserver-rs/, sidebar/, shared/, components/, lib/, src/, zehn-rs/, ghostex-paths/, ghostex-history/, mobile-chat/, mobile-find/, ghostty/, tui2/, zmx/, code-server/, zehn/) no longer exist at the root. If you are working from an old plan, transcript, or memory file, re-derive the path before you search or edit.

One-line vocabulary:

  • apps/ = deliverables (things that ship and have an entry point).
  • views/ = embedded pages an app ships (never call these "webviews" or "surfaces").
  • packages/ = libraries imported by apps and by the server.
  • .dependencies/ = ALL external-origin code, including code we edit.

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.
