AGENTS.md

dismech AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from monarch-initiative/dismech. It costs 262 tokens per session, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

Repository instructions for working on monarch-initiative/dismech, a project that records disease mechanisms and related evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting work in the repository, understanding its scope and data model, and regenerating reference caches safely.
Why use it?
They explain which project guidance to read and how to handle generated reference files, so an agent does not edit cached files incorrectly or miss the project’s design decisions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is monarch-initiative/dismech's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on dismech 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 dismech 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

dismech 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.

What it actually says

Note that this repo is mostly geared around Claude Code.

You MUST read the full contents of @CLAUDE.md

Use the locally installed TypeSafe skill at .claude/skills/typesafe-ai/SKILL.md when working on AI-powered features in this project, following its live-documentation guidance for integrations.

For Codex and any other agent: never create or hand-edit references_cache/*.md. Regenerate cache files with just fetch-reference <ID> instead.

For Codex and any other agent: cache/dataset_accessions.json is retired and deleted. Never read, recreate, refresh, or restore it. If an old PR carries it, keep its deletion when resolving conflicts; do not merge its contents. Dataset accessions are verified by fetching them into references_cache/ (just verify-datasets <file>, which writes references_cache/GEO_<ID>.md); commit that file instead. The shared blob was a single sorted JSON file that every verifier run rewrote in full, so it collided between concurrent curation PRs.

For the rationale behind project scope, schema, ontology, BioLink/KGX, and evidence decisions, consult the decision register at docs/explanation/design-decisions.md.

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.
