AGENTS.md

ai-forge AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from robcsaszar/ai-forge. It costs 1,467 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for the ai-forge project. It explains how the project is organised and what checks contributors should make before publishing changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing skill folders, checking metadata, preserving related files, deciding whether guidance is generic enough, and running pre-publish checks.
Why use it?
It gives contributors consistent rules for editing a collection of AI skills, even though the project has no build process or runtime of its own.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is robcsaszar/ai-forge's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on ai-forge 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 ai-forge 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

ai-forge 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.

Mission

This repo publishes the ai-forge skill pack: eight skills covering the lifecycle of an AI skill or agent definition, create, judge, review, apply, evaluate, recap, update, and audit. There is no build, no tests, no runtime of its own. The deliverable is the contents of skills/*, each copied in from a source repo (Orakl) where they are used and refined, then published here for anyone to install. Changes should be judged by: would a stranger who installs one of these skills into an unrelated project get correct, generic guidance out of it?

Layout convention

  • One directory per skill under skills/<name>/, name: in frontmatter matching the directory name exactly.
  • Each skill's full directory ships as-is: SKILL.md plus any references/, assets/, agents/, evals/, or scripts/ it depends on. Don't split a skill across a partial copy.
  • Three skills ship a scripts/ directory: ai-forge-create/scripts/validate-metadata.cjs, ai-forge-audit/scripts/check-ecosystem.cjs, and ai-forge-eval/scripts/aggregate-benchmark.cjs. All are zero-dependency Node scripts with no network calls. See SAFETY.md for the current, verified description of each.
  • Skill bodies stay under 200 lines and ~1,800 words. Reference files over 300 lines carry a ## Contents TOC.

Judgment boundaries

NEVER:

  • Never let a copied skill's content leak repo-specific references back to Orakl (or any other single source project). A published skill needs to read as generic guidance, not one project's internal notes.
  • Never remove a skill without asking first: the eight here form one lifecycle, and removing one leaves a gap other skills' cross-references (e.g. ai-forge-audit requiring ai-forge-judge) assume is filled.

ASK:

  • Ask before changing the license or copyright holder.
  • Ask before adding a ninth skill that doesn't fit the create/judge/review/apply/eval/recap/update/audit lifecycle the other eight cover.

ALWAYS:

  • When a skill's scripts/ directory gains, loses, or changes what a script does: update SAFETY.md in the same change, based on actually reading the script, not assuming its behavior is unchanged.
  • When adding, removing, or renaming a skill: update the table in README.md in the same change.
  • Before publishing, run the three pre-publish checks below. All three must be clean.

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.
