project-status AGENTS.md

project-status AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Openly-Useful/project-status. It costs 590 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file that tells a coding agent how to work on the project, including its design direction, build process, and handoff requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide prototype changes, preserve required files, run the correct build and tests, and document lasting project-specific decisions.
Why use it?
It keeps the agent's work aligned with the project's agreed design and technical rules. It also records decisions so important instructions are not lost between tasks.

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

project-status 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 3d 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.

Prototype Instructions

Run the local server yourself and open the preview in the browser available to this environment. Do not give the user server-start instructions when you can run it.

Before making substantial visual changes, use the Product Design plugin's get-context skill when the visual source is unclear or no longer matches the current goal. When the user gives durable prototype-specific design feedback, preferences, or decisions, record them in AGENTS.md.

When implementing from a selected generated mock, treat that image as the source of truth for layout, component anatomy, density, spacing, color, typography, visible content, and hierarchy.

Build app UI in src/. Keep .openai/hosting.json, worker/index.js, scripts/prepare-sites-build.mjs, and tests/sites-worker.test.mjs intact so the same local prototype can be handed to Sites. Before a Sites handoff, run npm run build and npm run test:sites; the build must leave dist/client/index.html, dist/server/index.js, and dist/.openai/hosting.json.

Product direction

  • Visual source of truth: the owner-approved “Design 2” project-status mock at 1440 × 1024. Keep the local source asset outside public artifacts and do not record owner home-directory paths here.
  • Build a light-first project-status home with a token-driven dark theme; both themes share one component and semantic-color system.
  • Keep one concise home snapshot, then open Readiness, Evidence, Monitoring, Runs, Blockers, Source, and Install in accessible drawers with stable deep links.
  • Support mouse, keyboard, command palette, URL/hash navigation, and AI wrappers without model-specific behavior in the core.
  • Keep weighted readiness, evidence validity, live health, and delivery activity as separate state models.
  • Show source commit, manifest digest, audit ID, and timestamps prominently. Browser refresh is not monitoring.
  • Use Grafana-style overview-to-drilldown and context-preserving links plus Linear-style command navigation, without copying either product's visual identity or dense panel chrome.
  • The canonical portable skill is required; MCP is an optional read-only/live-data companion and must not be required for static or filesystem use.
  • Keep the home intentionally sparse. Lead with one visually dominant overall percentage and one wide weighted-work bar directly beneath it.
  • Build the overall bar automatically from manifest tasks: each task is a proportional segment, boundaries remain visible, and status uses semantic fill/pattern plus accessible labels.
  • Show only the task totals and a few assessment signals under the bar (complete, active, blocked, remaining, freshness). Keep detailed phases, evidence, monitoring, runs, provenance, and critical path inside drilldowns.
  • Put subsection summaries in a quiet second tier with strong hover/focus elevation and one decisive metric each. Avoid logs, tables, dense provenance strips, and multi-panel telemetry on Home.

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.
