agent-skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from renky1025/agent-skills. It costs 2,118 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for a collection of portable skills used by coding agents. They define the folder layout, how instructions are loaded, and what each skill file must contain.

In plain words
What is it for?
They are for creating, editing, and reviewing agent skills while following the repository's directory and documentation rules.
Why use it?
They help contributors keep skills portable across agent products and separate basic instructions from detailed, on-demand material.

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 renky1025/agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-skills 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-skills 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-skills 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 1mo 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 — 209 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — Repository Operating Manual

Read this file before creating, editing, or reviewing any skill in this repository. This is Layer 0: always resident. It answers "how does this project work", not "how do I do task X". Task-level method lives in each skill's SKILL.md. Deep knowledge lives in that skill's references/.


1. What This Repository Is

A collection of portable Agent Skills consumed by Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other autonomous agents. One directory at the repository root equals one skill. Nothing here may assume a specific host runtime, a specific vendor, or a specific machine layout.

Portability rule: user-level install path is written as ~/.claude/skills/. Never reference a product-specific internal path in a skill. Skill-internal script invocations use the <skill> placeholder for the skill's own install directory.


2. Directory Contract

<skill-name>/
+-- SKILL.md          # REQUIRED. Layer 2: workflow, constraints, routing. Procedural only.
+-- references/       # Optional. Layer 3: deep knowledge, specs, edge cases. Load on demand.
+-- examples/         # Optional. Layer 3: real cases, templates, before/after samples.
+-- scripts/          # Optional. Layer 4: deterministic, executable operations.
+-- assets/           # Optional. Static inputs: fonts, CSS, images, component libraries.

Naming: <skill-name> is kebab-case, and must exactly equal the name field in the frontmatter. One directory = one skill. Never nest a skill inside another skill.


3. Progressive Disclosure Model

Information is delivered in layers. The agent pays only for the layer it actually needs.

Layer Artifact Purpose Loaded when
0 AGENTS.md How this repository works Always resident
1 frontmatter name + description "Should I use this skill at all?" Skill discovery
2 SKILL.md "What is the method?" After the skill matches the task
3 references/, examples/ "What is the domain knowledge / a concrete case?" Task classified, specific gap identified
4 scripts/ "Run the deterministic step" Execution requires it

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.
