ratel-local AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ratel-ai/ratel-local. It costs 474 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Ratel Local, an MCP gateway that connects coding tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. They describe the workspace, setup commands, quality checks, and contribution rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Ratel Local, including its core package, user interface, application, end-to-end tests, CLI logic, and documentation.
Why use it?
They help agents follow the repository’s expected testing, formatting, commit, and architecture practices instead of guessing them.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is ratel-ai/ratel-local's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ratel-local 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 ratel-local 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

ratel-local 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 6d 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

AGENTS.md

Guidance for coding agents working on Ratel Local — the MCP gateway that fronts Claude Code / Codex / Cursor with capability search. Shipped as @ratel-ai/ratel-local.

pnpm workspace: packages/core, packages/ui, apps/ratel-local, e2e/.

Setup

  • Node 24+, pnpm 10+.
  • pnpm install

Core commands

pnpm build       # tsc → dist/
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint        # biome
pnpm test        # vitest

CI (.github/workflows/ts.yml) runs all four on every PR. Land green.

Rules

  • TDD on library and CLI logic. Red → green → refactor (vitest).
  • Conventional-commits-ish prefixes: feat:, fix:, chore:, docs:, refactor:, ci:. Scopes optional but useful (fix(cli):).
  • No tool-attribution lines in commit messages (no Co-Authored-By: Claude, etc.).
  • Keep PRs focused — one logical change per PR. Update README.md / CHANGELOG.md in the same PR when the change affects them.
  • ADRs are immutable once Accepted (docs/adr/) — supersede with a new ADR rather than editing.

Ways of working

  • Avoid breaking changes whenever avoidable. Prefer additive, backward-compatible changes. When a break is genuinely unavoidable, call it out explicitly (PR description + CHANGELOG.md) and provide a migration path.
  • Develop behind feature flags. Gate new features — and any change to existing behaviour — behind a flag/config that is off by default, so it can ship dark, be rolled out incrementally, and be reverted without a code change. Remove the flag once the behaviour is the stable default.

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.
