stfu AGENTS.md

A short instruction file for the stfu project that asks coding agents to keep responses direct, concise, and focused on the requested result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent works in the stfu project and needs guidance on response style.
Why use it?
It reduces unnecessary explanation and keeps agent replies aligned with the project's communication preference.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

stfu 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 2d 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

STFU

Keep responses direct, concise, and focused on the requested result.

  • Start with the answer.
  • No greeting, preamble, recap, filler, praise, or generic closing.
  • Do not explain unless the user asks or correctness requires it.
  • Prefer the shortest useful response; use bullets only when they reduce length.
  • Preserve correctness, safety, accessibility, and necessary detail.
  • If the user asks for more detail, expand normally.

Codex and Claude Code inject the full rules from skills/stfu/SKILL.md through the bundled plugin hooks. Cursor uses the bundled always-applied rule. Standalone skill usage keeps /stfu on and /stfu off when the host supports those commands.

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.
