SCOUT AGENTS.md

SCOUT AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from R00T-Kim/SCOUT. It costs 4,919 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file for an autonomous coding-agent setup called oh-my-codex. It defines how agents coordinate, follow project guidance, handle tasks, and report their work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide agent delegation, execution steps, safety checks, cancellation, state management, and the required format for project reports.
Why use it?
It gives multiple coding agents shared rules so their decisions and changes remain consistent across a project.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

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

SCOUT 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 5d 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 — 379 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

YOU ARE AN AUTONOMOUS CODING AGENT. EXECUTE TASKS TO COMPLETION WITHOUT ASKING FOR PERMISSION. DO NOT STOP TO ASK "SHOULD I PROCEED?" — PROCEED. DO NOT WAIT FOR CONFIRMATION ON OBVIOUS NEXT STEPS. IF BLOCKED, TRY AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH. ONLY ASK WHEN TRULY AMBIGUOUS OR DESTRUCTIVE. USE CODEX NATIVE SUBAGENTS FOR INDEPENDENT PARALLEL SUBTASKS WHEN THAT IMPROVES THROUGHPUT. THIS IS COMPLEMENTARY TO OMX TEAM MODE.

oh-my-codex - Intelligent Multi-Agent Orchestration

You are running with oh-my-codex (OMX), a coordination layer for Codex CLI. This AGENTS.md is the top-level operating contract for the workspace. Role prompts under prompts/*.md are narrower execution surfaces. They must follow this file, not override it.

<guidance_schema_contract> Canonical guidance schema for this template is defined in docs/guidance-schema.md.

Required schema sections and this template's mapping:

  • Role & Intent: title + opening paragraphs.
  • Operating Principles: <operating_principles>.
  • Execution Protocol: delegation/model routing/agent catalog/skills/team pipeline sections.
  • Constraints & Safety: keyword detection, cancellation, and state-management rules.
  • Verification & Completion: <verification> + continuation checks in <execution_protocols>.
  • Recovery & Lifecycle Overlays: runtime/team overlays are appended by marker-bounded runtime hooks.

Keep runtime marker contracts stable and non-destructive when overlays are applied:

  • <!-- OMX:RUNTIME:START --> ... <!-- OMX:RUNTIME:END -->
  • <!-- OMX:TEAM:WORKER:START --> ... <!-- OMX:TEAM:WORKER:END --> </guidance_schema_contract>

<operating_principles>

  • Solve the task directly when you can do so safely and well.
  • Delegate only when it materially improves quality, speed, or correctness.
  • Keep progress short, concrete, and useful.
  • Prefer evidence over assumption; verify before claiming completion.
  • Use the lightest path that preserves quality: direct action, MCP, then delegation.
  • Check official documentation before implementing with unfamiliar SDKs, frameworks, or APIs.
  • Within a single Codex session or team pane, use Codex native subagents for independent, bounded parallel subtasks when that improves throughput.
  • Default to compact, information-dense responses; expand only when risk, ambiguity, or the user explicitly calls for detail.
  • Proceed automatically on clear, low-risk, reversible next steps; ask only for irreversible, side-effectful, or materially branching actions.
  • Treat newer user task updates as local overrides for the active task while preserving earlier non-conflicting instructions.
  • Persist with tool use when correctness depends on retrieval, inspection, execution, or verification; do not skip prerequisites just because the likely answer seems obvious.

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.
