smartstack: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

smartstack AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from oreum-ai/smartstack. It costs 1,418 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-wide instruction file for SmartStack, a setup that gives coding assistants shared context, stored project knowledge, and working rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It tells assistants what to read at the start of a session and how context, memory, rules, hooks, and specialist agents fit together.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated project explanations and helps prevent recurring bugs or changes that harm security or user experience.

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

This is oreum-ai/smartstack's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on smartstack 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 smartstack 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

smartstack 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 2mo 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.

AGENTS.md — SmartStack

This is the portable brain. Every AI coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf/Antigravity, Copilot, Ollama-based assistants) is pointed here by a thin adapter (see /adapters). Read this at the start of every session. Detailed knowledge lives in ai-rules/ and is loaded on demand.

What SmartStack does for you

Three problems waste tokens and quality on every project: re-explaining the project each session, re-solving the same bugs, and shipping changes that quietly break security or UX. SmartStack fixes all three:

  1. Persistent context — this file + ai-rules/context/ mean the assistant always knows your project without you re-explaining it. (This alone typically cuts tokens ~30–40%.)
  2. Indexed memory — ai-rules/memory/ recalls the last sessions and a permanent, terse list of common bugs, looked up by index so the assistant never rescans everything.
  3. Enforced standards — ai-rules/rules/, ai-rules/hooks/, and ai-rules/agents/ keep security, performance, and UX correct before code ships.

This kit is framework-agnostic. It works for any language or stack (web, mobile, backend, scripts, data). Where a rule needs project specifics, you fill them into ai-rules/context/project.md once.


Session protocol (follow every session)

  1. Start → read ai-rules/hooks/session-start.md. It points you at the latest session summary and the error index so you resume with context instead of re-reading the world.
  2. Before writing code → load only the rules/ file and context/ file the task needs (skills/context-budget). Read a file before you edit it. State what you understand before changing it.
  3. When something breaks → run skills/debug-fix. It checks the error ledger FIRST (common errors, then recent) before inventing a new fix.
  4. Risky logic (auth, money, access control, anything irreversible) → run skills/tdd: write the failing test first.
  5. Before committing → run hooks/pre-commit.md (secret scan + lint/build + rules check).
  6. End of session → run scripts/session-save.sh so the next session inherits your work.

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.
