What is plugins AGENTS.md?

A repository instruction file for agents working on NotePlan plugins. It points to the project's layout, documentation, skills, logging tools, and rules that must always be followed.

Use it as the starting point for work in this repository, especially when reading plugin logs, choosing a skill, or following its documentation and non-negotiable conventions.

It gives coding agents the project-specific context they need before changing files or debugging plugins.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00797	$0.00797
Opus 5.5	$0.00319	$0.00319
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00159	$0.00159
Haiku 4.5	$0.00080	$0.00080

Security

Grade A, and why

plugins 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 4d 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.

Agent instructions (NotePlan plugins)

Hub for AI agents working in this repository. Read this first; follow links for depth. Do not duplicate these rules into chat replies.

Layout

Path	Role
`agents/skills/`	On-demand workflows (read the matching `SKILL.md` when relevant)
`agents/docs/`	Canonical conventions and reference
`.cursor/rules/`	Cursor always-on short rules (point here for full text)
`.cursor/agents/`	Cursor specialized subagents
`scripts/nplog/`	Log tool: `README.md` (usage), `AGENTS.md` (maintainer / parser)

Root docs/ is generated helper API HTML -- not agent instructions.

Skills (use when relevant)

nplog -- read NotePlan plugin logs via nplog --json. Never grep the raw log. After an x-callback, use --follow --wait-idle 5.
debugging-freezes -- freezes, hangs, infinite loops, JSContext stalls.

Cursor also loads these from .cursor/skills/ (SKILL.md file symlinks into agents/skills/). Claude Code: same under .claude/skills/. Specialized Dashboard debugging: .cursor/agents/dashboard-log-debugger.md.

Docs (canonical conventions)

programming.md -- imports, domain facts, style, helpers, testing, settings path, changelog
react-html.md -- React memoization, Promise polyfills, DynamicDialog, theme CSS variables
writing-style.md -- plain ASCII punctuation, Markdown lists, raw markdown for deliverables

Non-negotiables (always)

Static import only -- no require, no dynamic imports (Rollup).
Do not npm run build plugins; leave builds to the programmer. React/ WebView plugins need performRollup then npc (npc alone does not refresh requiredFiles/ bundles) -- see agents/docs/programming.md.
Do not commit or push unless the user explicitly asks.
Never grep the raw NotePlan log -- use the nplog skill.
Prefer npx flow for typecheck. Save flow check as indented JSON at /tmp/flow-check-now.json. Always pass --no-watch to jest. Jest/__tests__ keep // @flow; after editing those files, run Flow (focus-check or full check) -- jest alone misses missing-local-annot and similar.
Wrap React context/child callbacks in useCallback; memoize AppContext with useMemo (see react-html doc).

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.
