What is dotrepo AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for dotrepo, an open metadata format and toolchain for describing software repositories, their ownership, documentation, and build information.

Use it when working on the dotrepo schema, Rust tools, MCP server, language server, public repository index, or related documentation.

They identify the authoritative project documents and explain the commands and concepts coding agents should follow.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.02486	$0.02486
Opus 5.5	$0.00994	$0.00994
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00497	$0.00497
Haiku 4.5	$0.00249	$0.00249

Security

Grade A, and why

dotrepo 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Repository guidance for coding agents. CLAUDE.md points here; keep instructions in this file rather than duplicating them across tool-specific files.

Project and documentation authority

dotrepo is an open repository metadata protocol, a Rust reference toolchain, and a Git-backed public overlay index at index/repos/<host>/<owner>/<repo>/. It exposes repository facts with evidence, trust, conflicts, and age through local .repo files, JSON, and MCP. Native adoption is optional for index coverage.

ROADMAP.md: strategy, active execution order, and milestone gates
CHANGELOG.md: release history

rfcs/README.md: design records, implementation scope, and deferred proposals

Code and tested contracts outrank prose. Use version-matched docs for installed binaries; this checkout includes safeguards absent from the pinned stable release. Do not describe implementation completion or operator traffic as consumer proof.

Workflow routing

Check the actual branch and HEAD before choosing work. Relative guides describe this checkout; the workflow status distinguishes public interfaces, local experiments and evidence. A folder name does not identify a release or the latest draft. Read the owning roadmap before using an older pilot or archived packet as a task list.

Task	Start here
Discover, shortlist and reach a preliminary decision	Decision workflow; `scripts/repodigest_selection.py`, `scripts/repodigest_service.py`
Assess explicit requirements or reuse source-bound findings	Requirement semantics, source cache; `scripts/repodigest_requirements.py`
Derive publisher setup and updates from existing sources	Maintainer workflow; `scripts/publisher_workflow.py`

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.
