askCode: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

askCode AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from realEbi/askCode. It costs 1,532 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase guide for askCode.nvim, a Neovim plugin that connects the editor to several command-line AI agents. It explains the main files, entry points, tests, and conventions for adding or changing agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying plugin logic, agent integrations, Neovim commands, configuration, user-interface code, or tests.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent enough structure to navigate the plugin without searching the whole repository blindly or missing project-specific rules.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is realEbi/askCode's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on askCode 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 askCode 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

askCode 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 2mo 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.

Key Entry Points

  • Feature work: start in lua/askCode/init.lua — it orchestrates all modules
  • Adding an agent: follow .agents/add-new-agent.md, or invoke the /add-agent Claude Code skill — create lua/askCode/agents/<name>.lua, register in agents/init.lua
  • Config changes: lua/askCode/config.lua — update M.default and annotations
  • UI changes: lua/askCode/ui.lua — show_window and update_window
  • Commands/keymaps: plugin/askCode.lua

Agent Interface

Every agent module must implement:

function M.prepare_command(prompt) → string   -- shell command to run
function M.parse_response(raw_output) → string|nil  -- clean the CLI output

Register in agents/init.lua:

M.agents.myagent = require("askCode.agents.myagent")

Then users set agent = "myagent" in their config.

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.
