opencow GEMINI.md

opencow GEMINI.md is an instructions file for Gemini CLI from OpenCowAI/opencow. It costs 422 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of opencow AGENTS.md, Apache-2.0.

Instructions for using a code-review knowledge graph, a searchable map of code entities and their relationships, before inspecting repository files directly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search code concepts, assess the impact of changes, find callers and imports, identify related tests, review changes, and inspect the system architecture.
Why use it?
The graph can show architecture, callers, dependencies, affected code paths, and test coverage before an agent reads large amounts of source code.

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

opencow GEMINI.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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to opencow AGENTS.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

MCP Tools: code-review-graph

IMPORTANT: This project has a knowledge graph. ALWAYS use the code-review-graph MCP tools BEFORE using Grep/Glob/Read to explore the codebase. The graph is faster, cheaper (fewer tokens), and gives you structural context (callers, dependents, test coverage) that file scanning cannot.

When to use graph tools FIRST

  • Exploring code: semantic_search_nodes or query_graph instead of Grep
  • Understanding impact: get_impact_radius instead of manually tracing imports
  • Code review: detect_changes + get_review_context instead of reading entire files
  • Finding relationships: query_graph with callers_of/callees_of/imports_of/tests_for
  • Architecture questions: get_architecture_overview + list_communities

Fall back to Grep/Glob/Read only when the graph doesn't cover what you need.

Key Tools

Tool Use when
detect_changes Reviewing code changes — gives risk-scored analysis
get_review_context Need source snippets for review — token-efficient
get_impact_radius Understanding blast radius of a change
get_affected_flows Finding which execution paths are impacted
query_graph Tracing callers, callees, imports, tests, dependencies
semantic_search_nodes Finding functions/classes by name or keyword
get_architecture_overview Understanding high-level codebase structure
refactor_tool Planning renames, finding dead code

Workflow

  1. The graph auto-updates on file changes (via hooks).
  2. Use detect_changes for code review.
  3. Use get_affected_flows to understand impact.
  4. Use query_graph pattern="tests_for" to check coverage.
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.
