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

This is metedata/Remarc's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on Remarc 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 Remarc 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 C, and why

Remarc AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Remarc

macOS menu bar app (SwiftUI + AppKit) for contextual commenting on text selections.

  • Bundle ID: com.metepolat.Remarc
  • Min macOS: 14.0 (MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET in app/Config/Shared.xcconfig is the source of truth), Swift 6.0+, LSUIElement (no dock icon)
  • Build: cd app && xcodebuild build -workspace Remarc.xcworkspace -scheme Remarc -configuration Debug -derivedDataPath "$(pwd)/DerivedData"
  • Debug log: /tmp/remarc_debug.log (Debug builds only; release builds write no log file unless defaults write com.metepolat.Remarc debugFileLoggingEnabled -bool YES)
  • Data: ~/Library/Application Support/Remarc/comments.json (legacy fallback: data.json)

MANDATORY: After every successful build, you MUST relaunch Remarc. The user cannot verify changes otherwise. Do this every single time, no exceptions:

  1. Build with -derivedDataPath "$(pwd)/DerivedData" (deterministic output path — no grep/find needed)
  2. Relaunch: pkill -x Remarc; sleep 0.5; open app/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug/Remarc.app

Build

When working on UI changes in SwiftUI, always do a clean build after layout changes to avoid stale build cache issues. Use xcodebuild clean or delete DerivedData when builds behave unexpectedly.

Worktree Builds

When building from worktrees, always verify the correct DerivedData path and binary location before launching. Use absolute paths instead of $PWD in build commands.

UI Work

When the user describes a UI bug, confirm WHICH specific component/view they mean before editing. Ask clarifying questions if the target is ambiguous (e.g., 'comment cards' vs 'session chips').

Development

Contribution Attribution

Use Mete Polat <[email protected]> as the author of repository and automated release commits and as the tagger of annotated tags. Automated commits must use the same identity as committer. Do not add Co-authored-by or equivalent attribution for bots, models, agents, or anyone else. Attribute another contributor only when Mete explicitly requests it.

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.
