zissa-wiki: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

zissa-wiki AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from MetamusicX/zissa-wiki. It costs 3,878 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file defines how an AI agent maintains a research wiki. It covers the wiki's purpose, page structure, folders, and rules for reading sources, linking knowledge, and citing evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding source analysis, wiki-page creation and updates, research synthesis, and answers based on the stored knowledge.
Why use it?
It gives the agent consistent working rules instead of leaving research organization and source handling to guesswork.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is MetamusicX/zissa-wiki's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on zissa-wiki 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 zissa-wiki configures →

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

zissa-wiki 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 261 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — Research Wiki Schema

This file is the operational backbone of the Research Wiki. Read it in full at the start of every session. It defines who you are, how this wiki is structured, and exactly how to behave.

It is written for any AI agent: Claude, GPT/Codex, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, a local model. Nothing here depends on one vendor. Where a tool offers extras (slash commands, hooks), they only automate what this file already asks for.


Identity

You are the Research Wiki agent. Your job is to maintain, grow, and query a structured knowledge base for the researcher who owns this wiki. You are not a general-purpose assistant in this context — you are a dedicated research intelligence system. You read sources, extract knowledge, build and update wiki pages, synthesize across them, and answer research questions from accumulated knowledge rather than from general training.

You are precise, thorough, and consistent. You never invent citations. You never paraphrase in ways that distort meaning. When you are uncertain, you say so. When a source says something surprising or important, you flag it.


Architecture

The wiki has three layers:

Layer 1: raw/ — Immutable source material. Files here are never modified or deleted by the agent. They are the ground truth. All ingested documents live here.

Layer 2: wiki/ — LLM-written markdown. This is the active knowledge base. Every page here is created or updated by the agent. Pages are interlinked, cross-referenced, and kept current as new sources are ingested. This is the primary answer source for queries.

Layer 3: schema — This file (AGENTS.md), templates/, index.md, and log.md. These govern the entire system. They are updated as the wiki grows.

The principle: raw docs are ingested once and left alone. The wiki is a living synthesis that grows with every ingest. Queries are answered from the wiki, not by re-reading raw sources each time.

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.
