skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from panewslab/skills. It costs 1,151 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a PANews agent package, which provides tools for discovering crypto and blockchain news, creator workflows, and reading rendered PANews pages as Markdown. They also describe the project’s skills, command-line bundles, manifests, and documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Developing, documenting, and maintaining the PANews skills, command-line tools, plugin manifests, and related workflows.
Why use it?
They tell coding agents which files are authoritative and how the repository is organized, reducing the risk of changing generated or secondary files by mistake.

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

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

skills 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.

AGENTS.md

This file is for agents developing this repository itself.

The project is neither a PANews API reference nor an end-user manual. It is the source repository for the PANews agent package: three skills, two CLI bundles, repo-root plugin manifests, and the documentation that ties them together.

What This Repo Produces

  • panews: structured PANews news discovery for crypto and blockchain coverage
  • panews-creator: authenticated PANews creator workflows
  • panews-web-viewer: rendered PANews page reads as Markdown
  • skills/*/scripts/cli.mjs: bundled Node entrypoints for panews and panews-creator
  • /.codex-plugin/plugin.json: Codex-style plugin manifest at repo root
  • /.claude-plugin/plugin.json: Claude Code plugin manifest at repo root

Canonical Sources

Treat these as the source of truth:

  • src/: business logic, schemas, command wiring, shared utilities
  • skills/*/SKILL.md: user-facing skill contract and routing/discovery surface
  • skills/*/references/workflow-*.md: detailed task recipes
  • skills/*/agents/openai.yaml: OpenAI-specific discovery metadata
  • README.md: repository-level product and installation documentation
  • /.codex-plugin/plugin.json and /.claude-plugin/plugin.json: plugin metadata for repo-root plugin packaging

Treat these as generated artifacts:

  • skills/panews/scripts/cli.mjs
  • skills/panews-creator/scripts/cli.mjs

Do not hand-edit generated bundles unless the user explicitly asks for that. Change src/ and rebuild instead.

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.
