apple-pim: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

apple-pim AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from omarshahine/apple-pim. It costs 5,739 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for an Apple macOS personal-information tool that works with Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and Mail.app. It covers setup, Swift command-line tools, and connections to Claude Code and OpenClaw.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when setting up, building, testing, or evaluating the Apple PIM project, including its Swift programs and MCP server. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to call external services.
Why use it?
It gives an agent the project structure, commands, and access rules needed to work on the tool without guessing how its macOS integrations are arranged.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is omarshahine/apple-pim's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on apple-pim 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 apple-pim 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 C, and why

apple-pim AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

Apple PIM Plugin

macOS PIM (Personal Information Management) tools for Calendar, Reminders, Contacts, and Mail.app. Works with Claude Code (via MCP) and OpenClaw (via native tool registration). Both adapters share a common lib/ layer that delegates to native Swift CLIs using EventKit, Contacts framework, and JXA.

Quick Commands

# Initial setup
./setup.sh

# Swift CLIs
cd swift
swift build -c release
swift test

# MCP server
cd mcp-server
npm install
npm test
npm run build

# Agent evals (from repo root)
npm run eval

Architecture

Handler logic, schemas, and sanitization live in lib/ (shared). The MCP server and OpenClaw plugin are thin adapters. All access control, filtering, and default resolution is handled by the Swift CLIs via the shared PIMConfig library:

Claude Code  <--MCP-->  mcp-server/server.js  ---+
                                                  +--> lib/ (handlers, schemas, sanitize)
OpenClaw  <--tools-->  openclaw/src/index.ts  ---+           |
                                                        Swift CLIs (EventKit / Contacts / JXA)
                                                             |
                                                        PIMConfig (~/.config/apple-pim/)

Each Swift CLI is a standalone binary that reads from macOS frameworks, validates access via PIMConfig, and writes JSON to stdout.

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.
