PyAutoNerves: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

PyAutoNerves AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from PyAutoLabs/PyAutoNerves. It costs 2,943 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for coding agents working on PyAutoNerves, a software project that provides shared configuration and data-serialization code for scientific libraries. It explains the project’s place among related repositories and its architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to understand PyAutoNerves, its related repositories, or the PyAuto organism map. It also provides the instructions directly when a tool cannot follow imported instruction files.
Why use it?
It gives agents the background and boundaries they need before changing code. This reduces confusion about which repository owns a responsibility and how the projects fit together.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is PyAutoLabs/PyAutoNerves's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on PyAutoNerves 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 PyAutoNerves configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is python scripts/board.py --brain ../PyAutoBrain --root <workspace root> --collect snap.json.

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to PyAutoLabs/PyAutoNerves. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

PyAutoNerves 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 26d 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.

PyAutoNerves — Agent Instructions

Canonical, agent-agnostic instructions for this repo. CLAUDE.md imports this file; any tool that does not process @-imports should read this directly.

This repo is the Nerves organ of the PyAuto organism — the base configuration/serialization layer (autonerves) that every scientific library imports. It is a full organ (promoted to the seventh organ 2026-07); the organism map below is generated from PyAutoMind/repos.yaml.

The organism map

You are one organ of the PyAuto organism — an agentic ecosystem for human-led, natural-language software development. The organs below are peer repositories; this repo is one of them, not a part of another. Canonical boundaries live in PyAutoBrain/ORGANISM.md; the full body map (every repo, not just organs) is PyAutoMind/repos.yaml.

Organ Repo Role
Brain PyAutoBrain Reasoning/orchestration layer; how work is decomposed and routed; the specialist agents.
Broca PyAutoBroca Assistant evaluation history, upkeep evidence, collection receipts and an operational dashboard. Brain interprets; Mind tracks fixes; public assistants remain independent.
Mind PyAutoMind Intent, goals, priorities, workflow state; every task starts as a markdown prompt here.
Cortex PyAutoCortex The Cortex — what is true in the science: the body map (projects.yaml) and one ledger per science project (runs, results, learnings, where to pick up); the science mirror of the Mind.
Memory PyAutoMemory Long-term scientific/software/project knowledge (see science pointer below).
Eyes PyAutoEyes The Eyes — cross-project visualization dashboard over the <lib>_visualization repos: their registry, the gallery/viz_manifest.yaml read contract and the Pages board linking their PNGs. Renders and copies nothing, never judges figures (the Brain's Eyes conductor does) and never edits plot code.
Ears PyAutoEars The Ears — community listening: read-only public conversation collection, the versioned community snapshot contract, coverage receipts and the dashboard. GitHub stays authoritative; Brain's Community conductor judges and drafts replies; never posts, labels, files issues or exports transcripts.
Heart PyAutoHeart Health/readiness — the authoritative "is it safe to release?" verdict.
Hands PyAutoHands Packaging, tagging, notebook generation, PyPI release execution.
Pulse PyAutoPulse The Pulse — cross-project profiling dashboard over the <lib>_profiling repos: campaign intent, instance registry, the versioned profiling-summary read contract, ingest receipts and the Pages board. Validates the contract only; never judges, scores or issues verdicts (the Brain's profiling conductor judges).
Insight PyAutoInsight Inference campaign intent, the cross-project inference instance registry, the versioned inference-summary read contract, ingest receipts and the evidence dashboard. Projects execute, Cortex records the science, Mind owns task state; never infers scientific acceptance or submits compute.
DNA PyAutoDNA Software-stack specifications, environment inventory receipts, support rationale, upgrade campaigns and adoption history. Brain coordinates, Heart validates readiness, Hands releases, Nerves enforces runtime compatibility; collection never upgrades environments.
Nerves PyAutoNerves The Nerves — the configuration/serialization layer connecting workspace conventions to libraries (layered config, version handshake, test_mode), delivered as the autonerves package.
Gut PyAutoGut Lifecycle of condemned self-material (stale branches, stashes, dead code/tests): held as recoverable git refs through a transit window, voided on a sweep. The storage mirror of Memory.

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.
