AGENTS.md

ols AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from openshift/ols. It costs 1,030 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workspace guide for OpenShift Lightspeed, an AI assistant for managing and answering questions about OpenShift. It explains the related repositories and their roles.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides work on the backend, Kubernetes deployment tools, console interfaces, documentation retrieval data, agent-based features, sandboxing, alerts, and multicluster management.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent enough project context to find the correct repository and follow its local instructions when working across the product.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is openshift/ols's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ols 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 ols 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

ols 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 24d 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.

OpenShift Lightspeed — Workspace Guide for AI

Project Overview

OpenShift Lightspeed (OLS) is an AI-powered assistant for OpenShift. This workspace contains all repositories that make up the product. Each repo has its own AGENTS.md with repo-specific conventions — read it before working in that repo.

Repositories

Repo Purpose
lightspeed-service Core backend — FastAPI service, LLM integration, RAG
lightspeed-operator Kubernetes operator that deploys and manages the service
lightspeed-console OpenShift console plugin (frontend UI)
lightspeed-rag-content RAG corpus — OpenShift documentation for retrieval
lightspeed-agentic-operator Operator for the agentic (MCP/tool-calling) variant
lightspeed-agentic-console Console plugin for the agentic variant
lightspeed-agentic-sandbox Sandboxed execution environment for agentic actions
lightspeed-agentic-alerts-adapter Adapter bridging OpenShift alerts into the agentic system
lightspeed-hub Multicluster hub — manages spoke clusters, coordinates fleet-wide agentic operations
lightspeed-hub-ui Console UI for the multicluster hub
lightspeed-otel-collector Custom OpenTelemetry collector for OLS observability
lightspeed-team-harness Shared AI coding skills for the team
ols-load-generator Load testing tool for the OLS service

Cross-Repo Conventions

Jira

  • Project key: OLS on redhat.atlassian.net
  • All commit messages and PR titles start with OLS-XXXX:

Git Workflow

All repos use a fork-based workflow:

  1. Push to your fork, not origin
  2. PR against origin/main from <your-user>:<branch>
  3. Squash commits before pushing

Auto-Push Spec PRs

After brainstorming writes and commits a spec change, auto-push and open a PR if the diff only touches spec/docs files. The PR is labeled kind/design for easy filtering — a human merges it.

Spec-only pattern: .ai/spec/**, docs/superpowers/specs/**. Never include AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or any other file — changes to agent instructions or non-spec files always require human review.

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.
