context-pack: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

context-pack AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Rothschildiuk/context-pack. It costs 473 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for context-pack, a tool that creates a concise briefing about a code repository for agents and new contributors. MCP is a standard way for an agent to connect to external tools and data.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help agents initialize context-pack, refresh project context files, find important signals, and record durable facts while working.
Why use it?
They reduce wasted context and require the agent to use the repository briefing instead of exploring files at random.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Rothschildiuk/context-pack's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on context-pack 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 context-pack 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

context-pack 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

AGENTS.md

context-pack is a Rust CLI and MCP server that produces a first-pass briefing of a repository for coding agents. It tells the agent which instructions to follow, which commands build and test the project, where the entry points are, which files matter, and what is currently changing.

Before you edit

  • Run the tool on itself: cargo run -- --cwd . (or context-pack if installed). It is the fastest map of this repo.
  • Read CONTRIBUTING.md for the pipeline and the rules for adding heuristics.
  • Durable notes about this repo live in .context-pack/memory.md (gitignored, local). Add a fact with context-pack memory add "<fact>" when you learn something non-obvious.

Commands

  • Build: cargo build
  • Test: cargo test (unit tests in src/, end-to-end tests in tests/agent_briefing.rs, golden files in tests/snapshots/)
  • Lint: cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • Format: cargo fmt --check
  • Refresh golden files after an intended output change: UPDATE_EXPECT=1 cargo test --test markdown_snapshots, then review the diff.

All four checks must pass before a change is done. CI runs the same commands.

Rules

  • The output is read by agents. Every line must help an agent act: no scores, no timing, no marketing, no instructions aimed at the reader's behaviour.
  • A heuristic change needs an end-to-end test in tests/agent_briefing.rs that reproduces the repo shape it fixes (see the existing tests for fastapi-, astro-, and maven-style layouts).
  • Keep the markdown within --max-bytes. New sections must be trimmable in briefing::fit_to_budget.
  • JSON is serialized from model::Brief. Adding a field is fine; renaming or removing one requires bumping SCHEMA_VERSION.
  • Never read outside the target repository (see mcp::resolve_inside), and redact secrets before emitting file contents (excerpt::redact).
  • .context-pack/memory.md belongs to its authors. The tool may only rewrite the metadata block.
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.
