kicad-mcp-pro: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

kicad-mcp-pro AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro. It costs 427 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for a KiCad MCP project. KiCad is software for designing circuit boards, and the file directs an agent to the project's architecture, testing, security, and compatibility guidance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route development work, choose the right tools, follow the repository's validation commands, and preserve rules for GitHub Actions and manufacturing controls.
Why use it?
It gives agents a single starting point and helps prevent unsafe edits, bypassed service boundaries, and hand-edits to generated files.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is oaslananka/kicad-mcp-pro's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on kicad-mcp-pro 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 kicad-mcp-pro configures →

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

kicad-mcp-pro 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 it actually says

Repository Agent Router

Use this file as a router, not as a duplicate engineering manual. Follow the canonical sources below and keep changes evidence-driven.

Start here

  • Architecture and dependency direction: ARCHITECTURE.md
  • Contribution and review contract: CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Security boundaries and reporting: SECURITY.md
  • Common local commands: Taskfile.yml
  • Agent profile/surface policy: docs/agents/progressive-disclosure.md
  • Tool-selection workflow: docs/tools-agent-workflow.md
  • Generated tool reference: docs/tools-reference.generated.md
  • KiCad compatibility contract: compatibility.yaml

Working rules

  1. Inspect the relevant architecture/service/adapter boundary before editing.
  2. Prefer existing domain services and adapter seams; do not bypass them with ad-hoc KiCad file rewriting.
  3. Add or change tests before production behaviour changes, then run the smallest relevant suite and the repository gates.
  4. Treat generated files as outputs. Use their documented generator/check command instead of hand-editing them.
  5. Preserve explicit GitHub Actions permissions, SHA-pinned Actions, path guards, and human-only manufacturing controls.
  6. Do not claim native KiCad, manufacturing, or live-model success without the repository's required evidence.

Validation

Use task verify for the normal local quality gate and task ci for the local CI equivalent when the pinned toolchain is available. For change-scoped validation, scripts/hook_pre_push.py maps touched files to the required checks.

For agent/profile changes also run pnpm run profiles:check, pnpm run toolsets:check, and pnpm run tool-contracts:check. For workflow changes run pnpm run workflows:policy, pnpm run workflows:lint, and pnpm run workflows:security.

Scope-specific instructions

More specific AGENTS.md files may exist under integrations. When working in such a subtree, follow the nearest file in addition to this root router. Repository-level security, architecture, and release constraints still apply.

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.
