In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Ledger, such as locating Git services, Electron communication code, React screens, code-graph logic, or end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the context needed to navigate the codebase and follow its conventions instead of guessing where changes belong.

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

ledger AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Common Tasks

Adding a new git operation

  1. Add pure function to appropriate service in lib/services/ (e.g., branch-service.ts)
  2. Add Zod schema in lib/conveyor/schemas/
  3. Add handler in lib/conveyor/handlers/
  4. Add API method in lib/conveyor/api/
  5. Call via window.conveyor.* from renderer

Adding UI elements

Main UI is in app/app.tsx. Components are in app/components/:

  • panels/editor/ - Editor panels (BranchDetail, PRReview, Staging, etc.)
  • panels/viz/ - Visualization panels (GitGraph, ERD, CodeGraph)
  • panels/viz/codegraph/ - Code dependency graph visualization
  • canvas/ - Canvas layout system
  • window/ - Window chrome (Titlebar, menus)

Styling in app/styles/app.css uses CSS variables for theming.
