the-last-repo: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

the-last-repo AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from opinionated-unopinionated/the-last-repo. It costs 1,270 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for AI coding agents working on the-last-repo, a software project organized around documents, plans, and architecture decisions. It explains which files to read and how the Ralph loop repeatedly runs an agent until a completion marker appears.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the right project documents, follow the prescribed reading order, and understand the scripts and files involved in the Ralph loop.
Why use it?
It prevents loading unrelated project context and clarifies the required workflow for planning, implementation, and repeated agent runs.

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

This is opinionated-unopinionated/the-last-repo's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on the-last-repo 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 the-last-repo 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

the-last-repo 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 12d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 69 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — The Last Repo

You are an AI coding agent working in this repository. This file is your entry point. Read it first, then load only what you need for the task in front of you. The repo follows progressive disclosure: smallest, most general context first; deeper docs are fetched on demand.

Reading order

  1. This file. Orientation, mandates, and pointers.
  2. docs/README.md — map of specs/, plans/, adr/ and their scoped subfolders.
  3. The relevant scoped folder — e.g. docs/plans/<scope>/ when implementing a plan, docs/adr/<scope>/ when checking past architectural decisions.
  4. Templates (docs/<type>/TEMPLATE.md) — load only when authoring a new doc of that type.

Do not pre-read templates or unrelated scopes. Load context lazily.

Key paths

Path Purpose
AGENTS.md Canonical AI context (this file). CLAUDE.md is a symlink to it.
PROMPT.md Default Ralph loop prompt fed to the harness each iteration.
scripts/ralph.sh Loop driver. Re-invokes the chosen harness until the agent creates the sentinel file .ralph/COMPLETE.
scripts/harness.sh Dispatches to pi, claude, or codex.
scripts/new-{spec,plan,adr}.sh Generators that copy the matching template into <scope>/<NNNN>-<slug>.md.
Makefile One entry point for ralph, new-*, lint-docs, ci. Run make help.
docs/specs/ Product/feature intent. What and why.
docs/plans/ Executable checklists. How and in what order. Each plan must have a §6 Checklist and §7 Loop Recipe.
docs/adr/ Architectural decisions, Nygard-style.
apps/, services/, packages/, tools/ Polyglot monorepo shells. Each has a README defining conventions.
.ralph/logs/last.log Ralph loop iteration log. Append-only, one line per iteration.

The Ralph-loop mandate

Non-trivial work in this repo is driven by a Ralph Wiggum loop, not by ad-hoc multi-step sessions. The loop is the contract:

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.
