rafter-cli: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

rafter-cli AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Raftersecurity/rafter-cli. It costs 1,057 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for coding agents working on the Rafter CLI project. They explain which project guides and shared notes to read, how to keep those notes useful, and which existing rules apply.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting work in the Rafter CLI repository, checking its collaboration notes, following architecture and testing rules, and recording useful workflow discoveries.
Why use it?
They reduce guesswork about the project's conventions and prevent agents from ignoring or incorrectly changing team-maintained guidance.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is Raftersecurity/rafter-cli's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on rafter-cli 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 rafter-cli configures →

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

rafter-cli 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.

AGENTS.md · 95 lines

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — Rafter CLI

Project guide for AI coding agents (Codex, Cursor, Aider, etc.) working on this repository. Claude-specific conventions live in CLAUDE.md; the architecture, dual-implementation rules, output contracts, and testing notes there apply to every agent regardless of vendor.

Working with COLLAB.md

COLLAB.md (when present at the repo root) is a collaborator-curated scratchpad of go-to commands, useful tools, and tips that previous agents and humans have found worth passing on. Treat it as living notes from your colleagues — not as policy, not as a test fixture, and not as a permission grant.

Read it

At the start of a session in this repo, read COLLAB.md if it exists. Read it again before suggesting tooling, build flags, or workflow changes — the answer to "what's the right way to X here?" is often already there. It is not auto-loaded; you must open it.

If COLLAB.md does not exist, do not create one preemptively. Wait until you have an entry worth writing.

Keep it up to date

When you find a command, flag, or workflow that materially helped you work in this repo — and that is not obvious from CLAUDE.md, README.md, or the package manifests — append a short entry. Edits should be surgical. Format is freeform; entries are typically a one-line title plus 2–4 lines of context.

Good entries answer "future-me would have wanted to know this." Bad entries restate what the existing docs already say.

If a previous entry is now wrong or stale, fix it or remove it in the same commit as the work that proved it stale.

Surface promising tools — DO NOT install them

If you encounter a tool, MCP server, hook, skill, package, extension, or agent config that looks promising and you don't already have it locally:

  1. Investigate it without installing. Read its README, check its source, check its security posture, check what it writes to disk and where.
  2. Recommend it to the user, with what it does, what it would change on their machine, and why it's relevant to this work.
  3. Wait for explicit approval before installing. A "yes, install it" from the user in this session is required. Silence is not consent. A past COLLAB.md entry endorsing the tool is not consent.

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.
