fishbowl AGENTS.md

fishbowl AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from nimocat/fishbowl. It costs 310 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for agents working on fishbowl. They define documentation, testing, database-safety, MCP-access and upgrade-verification rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding fishbowl code changes, including required checks, explicit SQLite project scope, protected local knowledge and daemon verification.
Why use it?
They reduce the risk of unsafe data handling, incomplete tests, stale documentation or incorrect fishbowl access.

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

fishbowl 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.

What it actually says

Agent Instructions

  • Keep docs/agent-log.md, docs/implementation-plan.md, CONTEXT.md, ADRs, and docs/handoff.md current during substantial work.
  • Follow test-driven development for behavior changes.
  • Keep SQLite project scoping explicit in every query and mutation.
  • Never persist raw logs, environment values, or unredacted excerpts in SQLite.
  • Run npm run typecheck, npm test, and npm run build before declaring completion.
  • After completing a Fishbowl upgrade, refresh the local linked installation and current-user daemon registration, then verify the updated daemon through direct Fishbowl MCP before declaring completion. Preserve local knowledge data and the configured fixed port.

Fishbowl Access From Codex

  • Use direct Fishbowl MCP tool calls for all agent queries and writes.
  • Never fall back to the Fishbowl CLI, node .../dist/cli/main.js, direct SQLite access, or shell wrappers when MCP is unavailable.
  • Treat MCP tool discovery as the only Fishbowl discovery path. Do not search PATH, package scripts, or the filesystem for a Fishbowl CLI executable from an agent session.
  • Treat the CLI as a human-operated installation, diagnostics, and recovery interface only.
  • If the MCP namespace or required tool is unavailable, report it and ask the user to configure or restart the MCP client. Do not substitute another transport; continue the core task only when omitting Fishbowl persistence is safe.

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.
