Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

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

dotfiles 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.

What it actually says

Documentation

Refer to the docs/ folder for detailed guides:

  • docs/karabiner/ — Karabiner keyboard shortcuts
  • docs/nix/ — Adding packages (nix, brew, casks, node, Mac App Store)
  • docs/raycast/ — Creating Raycast scripts
  • docs/scripts/ — Creating new scripts (docblock format, structure)
  • docs/shell/ — Shell command portability and aliases
  • docs/vscode-and-cursor/ — Custom shortcuts and settings

Almost every file under config/ (shell, editors, macos, git, agents) is symlinked into place by home-manager with mkOutOfStoreSymlink (see config/nix/system/symlinks.nix). Editing those files takes effect immediately — never suggest running rebuild after editing them.

rebuild is only needed when config/nix/ itself changes:

  • packages/*.nix — packages added or removed
  • system/symlinks.nix — symlink entries added, removed, or repointed
  • system/macos-defaults.nix, flake.nix

Special cases:

  • karabiner.edn → run goku (never edit karabiner.json)
  • config/agents/global_skills/ → each skill directory is linked one by one into ~/.claude/skills and ~/.agents/skills, so adding or removing a skill needs git add + rebuild; editing an existing skill does not
  • Shell config (aliases, functions, zshrc) → only affects new shell sessions

Git

  • If you think it makes sense to split something into separate commits, go ahead and do it.
  • Do not autocommit
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.
