blackbox AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Blackbox, an analysis engine that examines raw AI coding-session records to find root causes, repeated failures, and coding patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing or testing Blackbox, including its FastAPI service, processing pipeline, classification code, and related tests.
Why use it?
They help developers understand the repository, run its server, find important files, and execute its tests without learning the project structure first.

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

blackbox 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 yesterday.

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.

Blackbox – Agent Guide

What this repo is

Blackbox is the analysis engine inside QuickCall. It takes raw AI coding session traces (JSONL), runs a multi-stage LLM pipeline to find root causes, recurring failures, and anti-patterns, then feeds that back so future agent sessions improve.

How to run

uv sync --extra dev
uv run uvicorn src.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

How to test

uv run pytest                  # all tests
uv run pytest tests/test_api.py -x  # just API tests, stop on first failure

Key files to know

File What it does
src/main.py FastAPI app, routes, file upload, source detection, normalization dispatch
src/config.py Settings from env/.env
src/models.py Pydantic response models
src/pipeline/orchestrator.py Pipeline class — runs P0–P6 stages in order
src/pipeline/annotator.py Annotates raw messages with tool calls, edits, thinking blocks
src/pipeline/context_builder.py Builds context windows around trigger turns
src/pipeline/dedup.py Deduplicates findings by similarity threshold
src/classify/runner.py Classification runner — labels user messages via LLM
src/classify/prompts.py Classification system prompt + JSON schema
src/rca/prompts.py All analysis prompts and JSON schemas (RCA, behavior, cluster, convention)
src/normalizer/unified.py NormalizedMessage — the universal format all sources map to
src/llm/client.py Async LLM client (OpenAI-compatible API)
src/storage/run_store.py In-memory store for run state and stage outputs

Architecture

See docs/architecture.md for full Mermaid diagram, file structure, data flow, and pipeline stage details.

How to add a new source format

  1. Add transform in src/normalizer/<source>_transform.py
  2. Add normalize_<source>() function returning list[NormalizedMessage]
  3. Import and wire into _normalize_file() in src/main.py
  4. Add detection heuristics in _detect_source() in src/main.py

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.

blackbox AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository quickcall-dev/blackbox (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 641 tokens to every session, about $0.0032 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
