tempest AGENTS.md

A repository instruction file explaining how to work on tempest, a software factory that ships shared build workflows as portable AI-agent skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying tempest, its skills, manifests, installer, scripts, or tests, especially before committing or pushing changes.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents and contributors the project’s structure, cross-agent compatibility rules, skill-writing conventions, and validation requirements in one place.

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

tempest 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 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.

What this repo is

tempest is a software factory: a set of opinionated build workflows — plan → build → review → test → ship → reflect — shipped as portable Agent Skills that run identically on Claude Code and pi. The skills are the product; the manifests and installer are thin wiring around one shared source tree. It contains no personal data.

Golden rules

  1. One source, two harnesses. Every skill is authored once under plugins/tempest/skills/<name>/SKILL.md following the Agent Skills standard. Never fork a skill per harness. If a harness needs something different, express it in the install wiring, not in duplicated content.
  2. The conformance gate is law. ./scripts/validate.sh must pass before any commit; ./tests/run.sh before any push. CI runs both.
  3. Skill description = trigger, not summary. Start every skill description with "Use when…" and describe when to invoke, never the workflow. A description that summarizes the steps makes agents follow the summary instead of reading the skill body. (The gate enforces the "Use when" prefix.)
  4. Commands are portable or they don't ship. A commands/<verb>.md must use only the arg subset both harnesses share ($ARGUMENTS, $1$9) and carry a description. Pi-only (${1:-def}, ${@:N}) and Claude-only (allowed-tools, model) syntax is flagged by the gate.
  5. No hardcoded user, home, or project paths. Default to ~/.claude/…, ~/.pi/…, ~/.agents/… (resolve per user) or read from settings. A grep for /home/ in tracked files returns nothing.

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.

tempest AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository mtthsnc/tempest (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,009 tokens to every session, about $0.0050 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
