sre-skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

sre-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from nik-kale/sre-skills. It costs 208 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for site reliability engineering, the work of keeping software services reliable in production. It explains which operational skill to use for incidents, deployments, Kubernetes, monitoring, and runbooks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate production incidents, prepare deployments, troubleshoot Kubernetes, set up metrics and logs, or write operational runbooks.
Why use it?
It helps an agent choose the right operational workflow instead of treating every production problem as a general coding task.

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

sre-skills 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.

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.
