AGENTS.md

pdf-it AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from mrslbt/pdf-it. It costs 1,527 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for pdf-it-mcp, a server and coding-agent skill that turns Markdown into designed PDF files. They describe its source structure, PDF templates, tools, and design rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing PDF generation, templates, typography, colors, Markdown processing, or the server's tools and build checks.
Why use it?
They give agents the project's source of truth and prevent inconsistent styling, outdated rendering methods, or changes in the wrong part of the codebase.

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

This is mrslbt/pdf-it's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on pdf-it 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 pdf-it 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

pdf-it 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.

What this project is

pdf-it-mcp is an MCP server + Claude Code skill that converts markdown into designed PDFs. v2.0.0 is a native renderer: @react-pdf/renderer + remark, no Chrome, no Puppeteer, no external runtime at render time. Fonts are embedded.

Two templates ship: research-report (cover + auto-TOC + footer) and plain (body only). Two tools: generate_pdf, list_templates.

Source of truth

src/templates/design-tokens.ts is the single source for colors, type sizes, leadings, mm/pt conversion, and cover positioning. Every component reads from this file. Do not hardcode design values anywhere else.

If a component needs a value not yet in design-tokens.ts, add it to design-tokens.ts first, then read it from the component. No exceptions.

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.
