jarvis: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

jarvis AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from omnigentx/jarvis. It costs 8,157 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of repository instructions for Jarvis, an open-source AI assistant in a monorepo, which is one repository containing several related parts. It defines its real-time event system, code organization, and development rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Working on the Python backend, real-time status updates, server-sent events, WebSocket connections, authentication failures, reconnection behavior, tests, and service structure.
Why use it?
It gives agents shared expectations for reliable streaming, error handling, and modular code. It also requires clarification when a request is unclear.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PostToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code.

This is omnigentx/jarvis's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on jarvis 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 jarvis configures →

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

jarvis AGENTS.md scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Jarvis AI Assistant — Repository Guidelines

  • Repo: Open-source monorepo (omnigentx/jarvis)
  • Core runtime: fast-agent (Python, git submodule at backend/fast-agent)
  • Always reference files repo-root relative (e.g. backend/routes/chat.py:187); never absolute paths.

Core Principles

  1. Realtime monitoring — SSE, WebSocket, or equivalent push protocol. Absolutely no polling. All agent status, tool execution progress, and activity events must stream to clients in real-time via services/activity_stream.py (ActivityStreamManager) and services/sse_progress.py (ProgressManager).

  2. Production-ready code — Every feature must handle edge cases: connection drops, auth failures, SSE reconnection with exponential backoff, timeout handling, graceful degradation. No TODO placeholders or "happy path only" implementations.

  3. Clarification before implementation — When requirements are ambiguous, always present specific questions with options to the user before writing code. Prefer numbered questions that are actionable.

  4. Clean architecture — Code must be modular, well-separated, and easy to extend:

    • Keep files under ~500 LOC; split when exceeding.
    • Extract reusable composables/services; avoid copy-paste.
    • Use clear naming that reflects domain concepts (not generic names).
    • Every component should have a single responsibility.
  5. fast-agent best practices — This project is built on fast-agent. Always:

    • Reference official docs before implementing agent features: Tool Runner, Prompting, Instructions
    • Use ToolRunnerHooks for monitoring and progress tracking (see services/spawn_progress_bridge.py for the pattern).
    • Persist runtime-created agents through services/agent_definitions.py (SQLite). Replaces the legacy file-based agent cards.
    • Understand the session/history model via services/session_service.py.
    • Never bypass fast-agent's built-in capabilities; extend through hooks, not monkey-patching.

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.
