OpenHack AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for OpenHack, a security-scanning command-line tool with an interactive text interface. They define what belongs in the repository and how its command-line options should work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing OpenHack scanner features, command-line options, interactive behavior, documentation, tests, or product plans.
Why use it?
They prevent scanner code, hosted-service code, and command-line behavior from being mixed together. They also keep documentation, tests, and plans consistent with the project's interface.

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

OpenHack 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 yesterday.

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

OpenHack Scanner Guidance

Repository scope

  • This is the public OpenHack repository. Keep it focused on the scanner/CLI and its interactive TUI.
  • Do not add hosted-service implementations or private deployment artifacts here, including HTTP service wrappers, cloud task definitions, account identifiers, or service-specific Dockerfiles.
  • The AI pentest HTTP service and its deployment configuration belong in the separate sibling ../openhack_pentest_service/ directory.

CLI contract

  • Running openhack with no flags always opens the interactive OpenHack security agent.
  • All other CLI entry points and non-interactive behaviors use flags on the openhack command.
  • Do not introduce or recommend command-style subcommands such as openhack doctor or openhack demo. Express proposed CLI functionality as flags, while functionality that belongs inside the interactive agent should remain part of that agent experience.
  • Tailor documentation, examples, product plans, tests, and user-facing copy to this contract.
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.
