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

This is PhiloLabs/agentic-vbench's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agentic-vbench 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 agentic-vbench 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

agentic-vbench 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Telegraph style. Root rules only. Read scoped AGENTS.md before subtree work.

Start

  • Repo: agentic-vbench. Greenfield; conventions still forming — keep changes minimal and reversible.
  • Replies: repo-root refs only, e.g. src/foo.ts:80. No absolute paths, no ~/.
  • Verify before deciding. Read source/tests/current behavior; do not assume APIs, defaults, or runtime from prior knowledge.
  • This file is policy; docs/ (when added) is explanation; code/config is the contract. Link across layers, never duplicate.
  • Add new conventions/workflows here (or in a scoped AGENTS.md) — not in a code comment or commit message.
  • New AGENTS.md in any subtree: add a sibling CLAUDE.md symlink (ln -s AGENTS.md CLAUDE.md).

Map

  • tasks/ — Harbor task dirs, grouped into 4 family subdirs:
    • tasks/agentic_vbench_repair/ — 18 exp-* audio/video repair tasks (audio / color / deblur / sr / swap / glitch / cut / disfluency).
    • tasks/agentic_vbench_assembly/ — 18 video-assembly tasks (agentic-vbench-assembly-task<N>).
    • tasks/agentic_vbench_sequencing/ — 28 video-ordering tasks (agentic-vbench-sequencing-task<N>).
    • tasks/agentic_vbench_repurpose/ — 36 long-form-to-short-vertical repurpose tasks (per-task creative brief + LLM-judged rubric). Downstream tools resolve task names to paths via scripts/_task_paths.py (task_dir(name), all_tasks(family=…)), so adding/renaming families means touching one file.
  • scripts/ — the Harbor wrapper. install-harbor.sh pins the Harbor CLI; parallel_rollout.py schedules harbor run across many tasks against either local Docker or Modal; monitor_job.py tails a running trial; _task_paths.py is the name→path resolver. Tasks are evaluated using the verifier code shipped under each task's steps/solve/tests/; Harbor produces the per-trial reward.json.
  • docs/VERIFIER_DESIGN.md — load-bearing doc for the verifier math (universal normalize-improvement).
  • jobs/, site/, logs/, experiments/ — runtime / local-only outputs (gitignored).
  • Scoped AGENTS.md files: none yet. Add one when a subtree has rules that genuinely differ from root.

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.
