agent-tasks-template: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-tasks-template AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from redhat-vmeperf/agent-tasks-template. It costs 334 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Unlicense.

A ready-made AGENTS.md template for documenting a project's instructions, purpose, technology choices, coding rules, and AI-agent settings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe a repository, record its development practices, and point agents to shared guidance such as security checks, requirements, lessons, and workflows.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents shared project information and rules to follow, so they do not have to infer conventions from scattered files.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is redhat-vmeperf/agent-tasks-template's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-tasks-template 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 agent-tasks-template 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

agent-tasks-template 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.

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.
