devussy AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Devussy, a project that stores progress, phase tasks, and handoff notes in Markdown files. It uses stable HTML comments called anchors to identify the sections agents may read or update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reading and updating progress logs, next-task lists, phase plans, phase results, and handoff status safely.
Why use it?
Anchors let agents update only the intended section of a planning file without disturbing other notes. The guide defines the required markers and their purposes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

devussy AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured 2d 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.

This file provides guidance to agents when working with code in this repository.

๐Ÿ”— CRITICAL: Anchor-Based Context Management

โš ๏ธ READ THIS FIRST - This is the most important pattern in this project.

Devussy uses stable HTML comment anchors for efficient context management and safe file updates. All agents MUST use anchors when reading/writing devplan, phase, and handoff files.

Required Anchors

File Anchor Purpose
devplan.md <!-- PROGRESS_LOG_START --> / <!-- PROGRESS_LOG_END --> Track completed work
devplan.md <!-- NEXT_TASK_GROUP_START --> / <!-- NEXT_TASK_GROUP_END --> Current 3-5 tasks to execute
phase*.md <!-- PHASE_TASKS_START --> / <!-- PHASE_TASKS_END --> Phase-specific tasks
phase*.md <!-- PHASE_PROGRESS_START --> / <!-- PHASE_PROGRESS_END --> Outcomes and blockers
handoff_prompt.md <!-- QUICK_STATUS_START --> / <!-- QUICK_STATUS_END --> Status snapshot
handoff_prompt.md <!-- HANDOFF_NOTES_START --> / <!-- HANDOFF_NOTES_END --> Agent handoff notes

How to Use Anchors

Reading (CORRECT):

Read devplan.md lines between <!-- NEXT_TASK_GROUP_START --> and <!-- NEXT_TASK_GROUP_END -->
# Result: ~100 tokens loaded

Reading (WRONG):

Read entire devplan.md
# Result: ~3000 tokens wasted

Writing: Always use safe_write_devplan() from src/file_manager.py:

  • Creates .bak backup before writing
  • Validates anchors exist in new content
  • Refuses to overwrite if anchors missing (writes to .tmp instead)

Token Budget

File Section ~Tokens When to Read
handoff.md Progress Log ~200 Start of session
devplan.md NEXT_TASK_GROUP ~100 Every turn
devplan.md PROGRESS_LOG ~100 If needed
phase*.md PHASE_TASKS ~80 When working on phase

Target: Stay under 500 tokens per turn by reading ONLY anchored sections.

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.
