Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: built for cline.

This is paladini/mcp-me's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-me 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 mcp-me 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

mcp-me 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 1mo 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.

Agent Instructions

This file provides instructions for AI coding agents (Copilot, Cascade, Cursor, Cline, etc.) working on this project.

Critical Rules

  1. Always verify before declaring done — Before saying a task is complete, committing, or pushing, you must run the full verification suite in this exact order:

    npm run lint        # ESLint must pass with 0 errors
    npm run typecheck   # TypeScript strict mode, no errors
    npm test            # All Vitest tests must pass
    npm run build       # tsup build must succeed
    

    If any step fails, fix the issue before proceeding. Never commit or push broken code.

  2. Always update CHANGELOG.md — Every change, no matter how small, must be documented under [Unreleased] following Keep a Changelog format.

  3. Always update documentation — If your change affects user-facing behavior, update README.md, docs/creating-plugins.md, docs/schema-reference.md, and any other relevant docs.

  4. Follow Semantic Versioning — Bump the version in package.json when preparing a release:

    • PATCH (0.1.x): Bug fixes
    • MINOR (0.x.0): New features, new plugins
    • MAJOR (x.0.0): Breaking changes to plugin interface or schema
  5. Use Conventional Commits — Format: feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:, refactor:, test:.

  6. Add tests for every change — New features and bug fixes must include tests. Never reduce test coverage.

  7. No unused imports — ESLint enforces this. Clean up imports when refactoring.

  8. Plugin changes require plugin docs — Any change to a built-in plugin must update its README.md. Any change to the plugin interface must update docs/creating-plugins.md.

Pre-commit Checklist

Before every commit, verify:

  • npm run lint passes (0 errors)
  • npm run typecheck passes (0 errors)
  • npm test passes (all tests green)
  • npm run build succeeds (ESM + DTS)
  • CHANGELOG.md is updated
  • Documentation is updated (if behavior changed)
  • Commit message follows Conventional Commits

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.
