copilot: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

copilot AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from navikt/copilot. It costs 2,057 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for coding agents working in navikt/copilot, a monorepo containing several related applications and services. A monorepo keeps multiple projects in one repository, and these instructions explain its structure, commands, and conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working in the repository, locating its web apps and Go services, running checks, tests, builds, or making changes that affect one or several projects.
Why use it?
It gives agents the repository context and standard checks they need, while encouraging small, focused changes and avoiding unnecessary terminal output.

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

This is navikt/copilot's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on copilot 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 copilot 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

copilot 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 5d 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.

AGENTS.md for navikt/copilot

Minimal guide for agents working in this repository.

What this repo is

Monorepo for Nav's Copilot ecosystem:

  • apps/my-copilot (Next.js/TypeScript web app)
  • apps/copilot-api (Go backend API)
  • apps/copilot-cli (Go CLI gateway for nav-pilot)
  • apps/copilot-survey (Go survey backend)
  • apps/copilot-metrics (Go metrics job)
  • apps/copilot-adoption (Go adoption scan job)
  • apps/mcp-onboarding (Go MCP reference server)
  • apps/mcp-registry (Go MCP registry API)
  • cli/nav-pilot (Go developer CLI)

SECURITY.md has the security model and trust boundaries.

Efficiency rule

Keep tool output small. Run targeted commands, do not dump whole files or full build logs into context, and reach for deterministic tools (rg, git, gh) before asking the model to guess.

rtk is an optional CLI proxy that filters terminal output before it reaches the model. Use it if you want to (rtk git status). Nothing here requires or assumes it, and public controlled measurement has not reproduced its advertised savings (JetBrains study).

Standard commands

From repo root:

mise check
mise test
mise build
mise all

After editing an app, run mise check in that app's directory. Run mise all when the change reaches across the repo.

Conventions

  • PR bodies may be in Norwegian, but issue-closing references must use GitHub's English keywords: Closes #NNN / Fixes #NNN. Lukker #NNN does not link or auto-close anything, and three months of shipped-but-open issues in this repo trace back to exactly that. Verify with the PR's closingIssuesReferences when it matters.

  • Issue titles use <scope>: <short description> (nav-pilot:, my-copilot:, copilot-api:, copilot-survey:, copilot-metrics:, copilot-adoption:, mcp-onboarding:, mcp-registry:, kostnadsinnsikt:, verdi:, dispatch:, benchmark:, harness:, observability:, security:, or PRD:). Leave Conventional Commit prefixes (feat:, fix:, chore:) for commits and PRs; issue type belongs in labels. Write issues in Norwegian (following apps/my-copilot/ORDBOK.md) or English, and do not mix languages within the same issue.

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.
