AGENTS.md

nbp-skillforge AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from nbpadilha/nbp-skillforge. It costs 524 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for nbp-skillforge, a tool that assembles agent skill files from reusable text blocks and checks that generated files match their recipes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing skill recipes or reusable blocks, building generated skills, checking for drift, or running the project tests.
Why use it?
They prevent edits to generated files from being lost and require tests, consistency checks, and documentation updates before finishing.

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

This is nbpadilha/nbp-skillforge's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on nbp-skillforge 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 nbp-skillforge 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

nbp-skillforge 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

AGENTS.md

Guidance for AI agents (and humans) working in this repo. Public and intentionally short.

What this is

nbp-skillforge composes portable agent skills (SKILL.md / slash-command files) from reusable bricks, with a drift-gate. A recipe points to bricks; forge build assembles the final self-contained file; forge check fails if any generated file drifted from its recipe.

The one rule that matters

Never hand-edit generated output. Files under the configured out/ directory carry a GENERATED banner — they are build artifacts. To change one, edit the recipe (recipes/<name>.md) or the brick (bricks/<path>.md) it includes, then run forge build. Composition lives in the recipe; bricks do not include other bricks (enforced at build) — except inside a fenced code block (``` / ~~~), where an include directive is never expanded or enforced, so a brick can safely document the include syntax as a fenced example.

Before you finish a change

  • node --test is green (zero-dep node:test suite).
  • node bin/cli.mjs check --root examples reports in sync (the drift-gate; also runs in CI).
  • Docs updated in the same change: README.md, SPEC.md, CHANGELOG.md when behavior changes.

Conventions

  • Zero runtime dependencies. Adding one needs a strong, explicit reason.
  • Node ≥ 18, ESM. Source in src/ (engine + lifecycle + hooks), CLI in bin/cli.mjs.
  • Output is vendor-neutral — no proprietary pointer syntax leaks into generated files.
  • Destructive operations are soft by default (recoverable in _archive/).
  • Conventional Commits: feat / fix / docs / refactor / test / chore.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup details and SPEC.md for the format. To adopt nbp-skillforge in your project autonomously, hand an agent AGENTS-SETUP.md — an end-to-end setup runbook with execution gates.

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.
