memorax-code: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

memorax-code AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from memorax-ai/memorax-code. It costs 1,280 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository-specific working rules that guide a coding agent through safe changes, architecture decisions, hooks, sessions, scope, data, and user-facing boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working on the MemoraX Code repository, especially before changing architecture, agent behavior, documentation, or lifecycle and migration code.
Why use it?
It reduces accidental edits, ignored local changes, unsafe tests, and conflicts between current code and outdated generated notes.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: UserPromptSubmit hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is memorax-ai/memorax-code's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on memorax-code 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 memorax-code configures →

About the project

MemoraX Code is a shared memory layer for AI coding agents that stores and recalls repository knowledge, engineering lessons, and working preferences across sessions. It helps developers avoid repeating context when working with Codex, Claude Code, and other supported agents. The catalogue entries provide hooks, instructions, skills, and a plugin for using MemoraX Code.

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

memorax-code 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 28d 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MemoraX Code Agent Guide

These are mandatory working rules for coding agents. Use CONTRIBUTING.md for development and verification procedures and ARCHITECTURE.md for system boundaries. Current user instructions, live source, and executable tests take precedence over memory.

1. Start Safely

  • Run git status --short --branch; confirm the intended worktree and preserve unrelated tracked, untracked, and staged changes.
  • Read nearby implementation and tests. Keep changes focused; do not mix unrelated formatting, renaming, dependencies, or lockfile rewrites, or run broad auto-fix commands without need.
  • Use English for source identifiers, comments, docstrings, and canonical documentation. Synchronize both README files when shared content changes.
  • Treat .repo_memory/ as Git-ignored retrieval guidance, not code authority; never publish it.

2. Architecture Routing

Read ARCHITECTURE.md before changing module or test placement, entrypoints, control/data flow, state or authority, packaging/materialization, or cross-package or cross-capability dependencies. Preserve its boundaries; intentional changes must update the architecture and affected executable contracts in the same change.

3. Hook, Session, and Scope Invariants

  • Version and client-qualify Hook commands. Validate required session, turn, and prompt correlation at HTTP ingress; incomplete, conflicting, unknown, or client-inapplicable identities fail closed.
  • Automatic writeback uses only the matching client's native content authority. Hook/plugin text is never a fallback outside Trae's validated UserPromptSubmit/Stop primary-authority exception. Trace, latest-turn guesses, and another client's format are never fallbacks.
  • Include the client in session, turn metadata, trace, and operational identity. Equal native IDs across clients must stay isolated.
  • For a fixed Base User ID, pin each live session to its workspace and repository scope. Linked worktrees may share repository scope; unrelated repositories and genuine non-Git workspaces keep separate local identity. Only the documented malformed/incomplete direct-.git exception may use local-folder scope, then upgrade in-session to verified Git scope for the same Base User ID and canonical workspace root; discard pending fallback writeback on upgrade. Other missing, unreadable, malformed, or conflicting scope authority must not silently fall back or rebind. A changed Base User ID requires a new binding; existing Turn metadata must still pass scope validation.
  • Derive repository identity read-only, without executing Git. Preserve path canonicalization, Git marker validation, symlink/junction containment, and fail-closed behavior.
  • For completed content, consume matching turn metadata only after local writeback enqueue acceptance. Rejection, missing content, interruption, and concurrent replacement require explicit retention or discard reasons.
  • Use versioned private authority for Backend connection, token, PID, Hook generation, and lifecycle records. Cross-process read/modify/write needs bounded locking or equivalent version validation, not only in-memory queues.
  • Keep the Backend on loopback by default; external binding requires explicit opt-in and authentication.

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.
