dotPilot: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

dotPilot AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from managedcode/dotPilot. It costs 9,540 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for the managedcode/dotPilot solution, a .NET desktop application that uses Uno Platform, NUnit tests, and browser-based UI tests. They explain the solution’s structure and how agents should work in it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying dotPilot or its projects, deciding which local instructions apply, or following the solution’s testing and governance workflow.
Why use it?
They give agents the project-specific rules, commands, boundaries, and instruction precedence needed to make safe changes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is managedcode/dotPilot's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on dotPilot 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 dotPilot configures →

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

dotPilot 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.

Purpose

This file defines how AI agents work in this solution.

  • Root AGENTS.md holds the global workflow, shared commands, cross-cutting rules, and global skill catalog.
  • In multi-project solutions, each project or module root MUST have its own local AGENTS.md.
  • Local AGENTS.md files add project-specific entry points, boundaries, commands, risks, and applicable skills.
  • dotPilot is a desktop control plane for agents in general. Coding agents are first-class, but repository governance, architecture, and planning must also support research, analysis, orchestration, operator, and mixed-provider agent flows.

Solution Topology

  • Solution root: . (DotPilot.slnx)
  • Projects or modules with local AGENTS.md files:
    • DotPilot
    • DotPilot.Core
    • DotPilot.Tests
    • DotPilot.UITests
  • Shared solution artifacts:
    • .editorconfig
    • Directory.Build.props
    • Directory.Packages.props
    • global.json
    • docs/Architecture.md
    • .codex/skills/mcaf-*

Rule Precedence

  1. Read the solution-root AGENTS.md first.
  2. Read the nearest local AGENTS.md for the area you will edit.
  3. Apply the stricter rule when both files speak to the same topic.
  4. Local AGENTS.md files may refine or tighten root rules, but they must not silently weaken them.
  5. If a local rule needs an exception, document it explicitly in the nearest local AGENTS.md, ADR, or feature doc.

Conversations (Self-Learning)

Learn the user's stable habits, preferences, and corrections. Record durable rules here instead of relying on chat history.

Before doing any non-trivial task, evaluate the latest user message. If it contains a durable rule, correction, preference, or workflow change, update AGENTS.md first. If it is only task-local scope, do not turn it into a lasting rule.

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.
