go-micro: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

go-micro AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from micro/go-micro. It costs 418 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of repository instructions for coding agents working on the Go Micro project. It describes how to handle requested pull requests, including branches, checks, commits and GitHub submission.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating a focused branch, running build and test checks, reviewing changes, committing work, opening a GitHub pull request and setting it to merge automatically after required checks pass.
Why use it?
It makes the contribution process consistent and records the checks expected before a change is proposed. It also tells the agent how to prepare a pull request and enable automatic merging.

About the project

Go Micro is a Go framework and runtime for building AI agents, the surrounding tools, memory, planning, safeguards, workflows, services, and communication protocols that let an agent operate. Developers use it to create agents and services whose endpoints can be called as AI tools, and to coordinate them with durable flows. The catalogue entries provide instructions for working with Go Micro.

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

go-micro 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.

Repository agent instructions

These instructions apply to the entire repository.

Pull requests from Codex tasks

When a Codex task makes repository changes and the requested outcome is a PR:

  1. Keep the change focused on the assigned issue or prompt.

  2. Run the relevant verification commands and capture their results (go build ./..., go test ./..., golangci-lint run ./...).

  3. Check git status --short and review the diff before finishing.

  4. Create a uniquely-named branch under the codex/ prefix (do not work on master, and do not use a generic name like work):

    git switch -c codex/<issue-number>-<short-slug>
    
  5. Stage the intended files and commit on that branch.

  6. Open the pull request yourself with the GitHub CLI, which is installed in the environment and whose origin points at this repository, then enable auto-merge so GitHub merges it once the required CI checks pass:

    git push -u origin HEAD
    gh pr create --base master --label codex \
      --title "<concise title>" \
      --body "<summary of the change and testing, including 'Closes #<issue>'>"
    gh pr merge --squash --auto --delete-branch
    

The branch should start with codex/ and the PR should carry the codex label. Auto-merge waits for the required status checks (build, tests, golangci-lint) — never merge a PR manually before CI is green.

Do not just say that a PR was opened, and do not rely on the make_pr tool: in this environment make_pr only records the title/body and never pushes a branch or creates a PR. The task is not complete until gh pr create has opened a real pull request and printed its URL.

Changes

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.
