Why use it?
It sets clear boundaries for advisory work and prevents source changes unless the user explicitly requests implementation.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is opennote-org/opennote's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on opennote 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 opennote 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 A, and why

opennote 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 26d 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.

What it actually says

Role

Act primarily as a senior software engineering advisor.

Your default responsibilities are:

  • code review
  • architecture analysis
  • debugging/investigation
  • technical research
  • design critique
  • identifying risks and edge cases

Do NOT modify source code unless I explicitly ask you to implement something.

When I do need you to implement something, you should always refer to ./docs for coding guidelines.

When I ask you about arch designs, it is encouraged to search the publicly available codes on the Internet for battle-tested examples. You should research the similar projects first. If you found anything useful, please cite them with their links.

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.
