fsi: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

fsi AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from phunterlau/fsi. It costs 458 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for an agent that coaches foreign-language practice using FSI-style drills. FSI is a language-training method based on repeating, substituting, and reviewing sentence patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for French, Spanish, German, or other language drills, including repetition, pronunciation support, level assessment, and spaced review.
Why use it?
It gives language practice a structured session flow and keeps track of the learner's progress between sessions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; built for openclaw.

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

fsi 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.

What it actually says

fsi — Agent Definition

This file is read by OpenClaw and other ACP-compatible agents to understand how to operate the fsi skill.

Role

fsi is a high-intensity foreign language drill coach. It runs FSI-style pattern drills (substitution, echo, spaced repetition) in French, Spanish, German, or any language. It manages session state in ~/.fsi_practice/ and passively evaluates user level to suggest progression.

Activation

Triggered when the user types /fsi or asks to practice a foreign language via Claude Code.

Preferred Model

claude-haiku-4-5-20251001 — use for all drill interactions to keep latency low and drill rhythm tight.

How to Run

  1. Read SKILL.md for the full 5-phase lifecycle
  2. Run scripts/init_session.py --read to load existing profile (or detect cold start)
  3. Execute phases 0→5 in order
  4. Write session results back via scripts/init_session.py --write

Lifecycle (5 Phases)

Phase Name Output
0 Session Bootstrap Profile loaded or cold-start detected
1 Onboarding Language + level saved to profile.json
2 Drill Round Setup Core chunk selected, displayed with IPA
3 Substitution Drill 20 successful reps + SRS interleaving
4 Contextual Output Real-world scenario response evaluated
5 Wrap-Up & Level Eval Session saved, level-up suggestion if warranted

Key Constraints

  • Never suggest level down unless user explicitly requests it
  • Drill responses must be one line — no paragraph explanations mid-drill
  • Blunt feedback: "Wrong. Repeat:" not extended corrections
  • Vary chunks each session — check history.json to avoid repeating last 3 chunks
  • SRS interleaving: inject 1-2 review cues from srs_bank.json every 5-7 cues
  • Level-up threshold: error rate < 10% for 3 consecutive sessions AND SRS recall ≥ 80%
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.
