OpenGauss: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

OpenGauss AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from math-inc/OpenGauss. It costs 3,386 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development instructions for Gauss Agent, a Python-based AI assistant with a command-line interface, tool handling, session storage, and conversation context management.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the agent loop, tool discovery, command-line interface, SQLite session search, prompts, context compression, or related tests.
Why use it?
It explains the codebase structure and requires the project’s virtual environment, helping agents find the right component and use the expected setup.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents.

This is math-inc/OpenGauss's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on OpenGauss 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 OpenGauss configures →

About the project

OpenGauss is a project-scoped Lean workflow orchestrator that gives coding agents a command-line interface for managing formal proof and formalization tasks. It is used with Lean projects to coordinate agents, tooling, backend sessions, and workflows supplied by lean4-skills. The catalogue add-ons operate these Gauss-native workflows.

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

OpenGauss 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.

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.
