mcp-light-memory: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mcp-light-memory AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from PeterPirog/mcp-light-memory. It costs 248 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of AGENTS.md instructions for a repository that uses MCP Light Memory, a system for storing and retrieving persistent information for coding agents. It defines required memory, checkpoint, recovery, and guard steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when working in the mcp-light-memory repository, especially for tasks requiring persistent memory, recovery checks, checkpoints, or final guards.
Why use it?
It tells the agent how to preserve operational context across substantial tasks and how to check repository state before finishing.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is PeterPirog/mcp-light-memory's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mcp-light-memory 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-light-memory 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-light-memory 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.

What it actually says

Agent Operating Contract

Persistent agent memory: MCP Light Memory (INTERNAL_RAG)

This repository uses INTERNAL_RAG/ as mandatory persistent operational memory.

For every substantial task:

  1. Load the internal-rag skill.
  2. Run mlm.py context --task "<current task>" before the first code modification.
  3. If context reports RECOVERY REQUIRED, inspect Git state, reconstruct work, checkpoint it, and obtain GUARD OK before new edits.
  4. Checkpoint before the first edit, after meaningful milestones, after blockers/failures, before risky long operations, before compaction, and before final response.
  5. Run mlm.py guard before finishing a substantial task.
  6. Do not preload the entire INTERNAL_RAG/ directory.
  7. Verify consequential memory claims against current code/tests/configuration.
  8. Do not store secrets, credentials, production data, or verbose reasoning traces in memory.

Authority order: current user instructions > current code/tests/config > accepted specifications/ADR > verified memory > session notes > hypotheses.

Memory is evidence, not authority. It can be stale.

Changes

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.
