PiLoT AGENTS.md

PiLoT AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from nudt-sawlab/PiLoT. It costs 1,239 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to PiLoT, a system that estimates a drone camera's position by comparing a query image with a location-linked 3D map.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up PiLoT, running demos, changing camera localization or rendering, working with 3D map data, or building its CUDA extension.
Why use it?
It explains the two-process feedback loop, repository layout, required environment, and specialized rendering and GPU components.

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

PiLoT 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.

What this repo does

PiLoT localizes a UAV camera from a query image + a geo-referenced 3D map. Two processes run in parallel (main.py):

  1. Render worker — renders color + depth from the current pose estimate.
  2. Localization worker — refines pose via dense feature alignment (PixLoc).

Closed loop: localization output → next render pose → next frame.

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.
