openSUSE-packaging-skill: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

openSUSE-packaging-skill AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from openSUSE/openSUSE-packaging-skill. It costs 1,682 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository instruction file for contributors and coding agents working on an openSUSE packaging project. It records contribution rules, privacy limits, scripts, and checks to run before pushing changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing this repository, especially before committing or pushing. It explains which files contain user-facing, runtime, and contributor guidance.
Why use it?
It prevents contributors from rediscovering project conventions and helps keep public commits and documentation free of private identifiers and assistant-attribution text.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is openSUSE/openSUSE-packaging-skill's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on openSUSE-packaging-skill 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 openSUSE-packaging-skill configures →

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

openSUSE-packaging-skill 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 21d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Contributing to this repository

For whoever changes this repository, human or agent. The division of labour:

  • README.md — for someone deciding whether to install the skill.
  • skills/opensuse-packaging/SKILL.md — for the agent at run time. Loaded on every trigger, so it is byte-capped and routes rather than explains.
  • AGENTS.md (this file) — conventions that would otherwise be rediscovered.

Ground rules

  • Everything here is public. No personal identifiers — not yours, not anyone else's: no forge or build-service usernames, e-mail addresses, real maintainer names, local home paths, or build hostnames. Write generically (<your-obs-account>, "the maintainer"). Public record ids — boo#, sr#, CVE numbers, package names — are fine. check-skills.py enforces this; if one reaches the tip commit, amend and force-push with --force-with-lease rather than adding a scrub commit on top.
  • No tool or assistant attribution anywhere: no Co-authored-by/Assisted-by trailers, no generated-with footers, no AI authorship claims in commits, PRs, docs or code comments.
  • Verify against upstream, not memory. A rule worth writing down is worth checking first. Field experience is a hypothesis: most of it turns out to be already documented, already wrong, or true only of the one case that produced it.
  • Conventional Commits, with the why in the body. The diff shows what changed; the message must say what it was for, and what you verified.
  • Own words. Do not paste upstream documentation; state the rule and cite the source.

Token budget

SKILL.md is injected whole on every trigger, so its size is a correctness property rather than a matter of taste. The references are read one section at a time and must stay readable that way.

  • Budgets live in tests/test-skill-budget.sh and are enforced in CI. Adding to SKILL.md means trading something out of it.
  • State a rule once, in the file that owns the topic. Elsewhere write a pointer: references/<file>.md "<Section>", which is literally the argument list for scripts/refsection.py. tests/test-doc-lint.sh resolves every pointer, so a renamed section breaks the build instead of rotting.
  • Never tell anyone to read a reference whole — same lint fails on it. Detail belongs in a reference section; SKILL.md gets a headline and the pointer.
  • Playbooks in agents/ are read by sub-agents that never see SKILL.md. Their "read this first" list must hold exactly the sections every run of that block needs; everything conditional goes in a trigger table. Brief a sub-agent with the playbook and the sections — never with "read SKILL.md".

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.
