supergoal AGENTS.md

A project guide file that tells coding agents what a repository contains, how it is organized, and which rules to follow. It documents the Supergoal skill, which turns a vague request into a planned and checked coding run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to orient an agent in an unfamiliar repository and guide changes to the right places. It also describes how to use and install Supergoal with Claude Code or Codex CLI.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from guessing where to work or what the project expects. It also explains which files belong in the project and which do not.

Getting it into your agent

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 C, and why

supergoal AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

6. **Re-sync to Codex**: `rm -rf ~/.codex/skills/supergoal && cp -R skills/supergoal ~/.codex/skills/supergoal`, then verify byte-identical with `diff -r skills/supergoal ~/.codex/skills/supergoal`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Authoritative project doc. Any agent (Claude, Codex, or other) opening this repo should be able to read this file alone and understand the project, where to make changes, and what conventions to follow.

What this repo is

Supergoal is a Claude Code / Codex skill that turns a vague build request into a deeply-planned, autonomously-executed /goal run with built-in retry, fix-spec recovery, per-phase memory writeback, and a final audit pass that re-validates the work against the original plan.

  • Slash command: /supergoal <task>
  • Central mechanism: produces one ready-to-paste /goal command. The user pastes it once; the rest is autonomous.
  • Works on: Claude Code (via plugin marketplace) and Codex CLI (via manual skill copy).
  • Public install: see README.md.

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.
