spotless AGENTS.md

Project instructions for Spotless, a single-folder tool that sorts downloaded files into subfolders by file type and download source.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying Spotless code, deciding where new logic belongs, or checking that changes follow the project's boundaries.
Why use it?
They give contributors the rules for changing the tool safely, including its architecture, naming, comments, and type-safety requirements.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

spotless AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

`spawnSync`-style call forms to be narrower than Node's.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Spotless, root agent rules

Read this before changing anything. The conventions below are carried over from ~/code/v2 and adapted: that repo is a TypeScript monorepo, this is a Native SDK app, so the discipline transfers and the specifics do not. Copying v2's stack rules verbatim here would be the exact slop they exist to prevent.

Mission

Spotless files new downloads into subfolders, by extension and by where the file was downloaded from. It is a single-folder tool: it reads one directory, moves files within it, and never deletes anything.

The dependency arrows (enforced by the compiler, not a script)

src/shared.ts      ← core + services   (boundary records only; imports nothing)
src/bytes.ts       ← core              (byte primitives)
src/rules.ts       ← core              (the rule table + pure helpers)
src/editing.ts     ← core              (the text-field reducer)
src/core.ts        ← the views          (Model, Msg, update, derived bindings)
src/services/*.ts  ← NOBODY            (reached only through @native-sdk/services)

The core never imports a service, even import type. That is NS1065 and the checker stops the build. Services may import subset-legal declarations from the core class; every record that crosses the boundary is declared once in src/shared.ts and nowhere else.

update is pure and synchronous. It never touches the filesystem: it returns a Cmd and the runtime dispatches the result back as a Msg.

Naming

  • .ts files kebab-case; .native view files named for their window label (src/windows/settings.native is the window whose label is settings).
  • Model fields and Msg kinds keep their TypeScript spellings, because markup binds them verbatim. A rename is a two-file change.
  • Msg kinds are snake_case verbs (toggle_rule, pick_folder); model fields are camelCase nouns.
  • Derived state is a helper, never a field. If markup needs it, export a single-Model function.

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.
