NeuroAPI: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

NeuroAPI AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from neurogen-dev/NeuroAPI. It costs 509 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

安全 instructions for NeuroAPI's Windows and macOS installer scripts, which connect Codex CLI and Claude Code to an AI API. They define how credentials and installer-owned configuration must be handled.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing installer or uninstaller scripts, checking secret storage, preserving compatibility, or validating generated configuration.
Why use it?
They help prevent API keys from being exposed and avoid overwriting unrelated user settings during installation or removal.

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

This is neurogen-dev/NeuroAPI's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on NeuroAPI 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 NeuroAPI configures →

About the project

NeuroAPI is an AI API service that provides access to OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, image-generation, and video-generation models through one account. It is for users of Codex CLI and Claude Code who want to connect those tools through NeuroAPI on Windows or macOS. The catalogue instruction helps install and configure those clients for the service.

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

NeuroAPI 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 23d 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

NeuroAPI Agents repository guidance

  • This branch is the public, auditable installer for NeuroAPI integrations with Codex CLI and Claude Code.

  • Never accept API keys through command-line arguments, persist them as plaintext, or print them outside the dedicated credential helpers.

  • Windows secrets must stay DPAPI-protected for the current user. macOS secrets must stay in the current user's login Keychain.

  • Do not overwrite unrelated Codex, Claude Code, shell, or PATH configuration. Update and uninstall only files marked as installer-owned.

  • Keep Windows PowerShell 5.1 compatibility and macOS system Bash compatibility.

  • Validate script syntax, generated TOML/JSON, idempotency, secret handling, and uninstall boundaries before publishing.

  • Codex CLI uses a user-level profile-v2 file, https://codex.neuroapi.host/v1, and WebSocket by default; the optional Codex Desktop setup uses the same host with HTTP/SSE. Publish installers only after authenticated catalog and transport checks.

  • Managed Codex CLI uses verified hosted web_search = "live", plugins = false and remote_plugin = false: API-key startup must not sync plugin catalogs. Standalone user-configured MCP remains independent. Multi-agent namespace, goals, apps and browser use stay disabled in the CLI profile until independently verified. Do not advertise standalone web-search support. Desktop edits only remote_plugin, preserving existing plugins and other feature preferences; document optional manual plugin disabling.

  • The validated Codex catalog default_model is authoritative for setup and launch on both platforms, including Desktop; never hardcode a preferred model or infer the default from list order.

  • Managed launchers fetch and validate fresh key-scoped catalogs into private per-launch snapshots; never fall back to stale/bundled lists or accept executable server settings. Claude Code's base URL is https://claude.neuroapi.host; Claude Desktop gateway is configured separately in its UI. Keep ordinary keys, preserve unrelated configuration, and document managed-policy/explicit-override boundaries.

  • Claude client-settings v2 is opt-in via X-NeuroAPI-Client-Settings-Version: 2; accept only the three reviewed limit/hint env keys with canonical bounded decimal strings (or hint 1), retain the 4096 output fallback for old servers. --doctor performs no generation; --doctor-generate explicitly opts into one bounded HTTP probe with no retries, secret-free output and no claim of WebSocket/tool compatibility.

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.
