claudex-setup: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

claudex-setup AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from runnithan/claudex-setup. It costs 706 tokens per session, scanned B, original, MIT.

Repository instructions that tell Codex how to work in the claudex-setup project. They point to CLAUDE.md as the main source for shared project rules and add a few Codex-specific safety notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when Codex works in this repository, especially before editing files, reviewing the agent setup, or following its documentation, commit, and validation rules.
Why use it?
They make the agent follow the project’s established workflow and avoid mistakes such as handling secrets incorrectly. Keeping the main rules in one file reduces conflicting instructions.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; reads ~/.codex paths.

This is runnithan/claudex-setup's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on claudex-setup 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 claudex-setup 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 B, and why

claudex-setup AGENTS.md scanned grade B 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 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.

claudex-setup: Codex guide

Codex reads this file the way Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md. This repo is the claudex hub (Claude Code + Codex): you run it from here to mine agentic-coding lessons and to audit your other projects' agent setups in place.

CLAUDE.md is authoritative, read it first

The working rules are shared between both tools and live in CLAUDE.md. Read it before touching anything. Architecture, the transcript→lessons pipeline, Conventional Commits and the no-Co-Authored-By rule, CHANGELOG discipline, and the validation steps all live there and apply to Codex verbatim. They are deliberately not restated here, because a second copy would drift, which is exactly what this repo is built to prevent. If a convention changes, it changes in CLAUDE.md only.

The short safety net below is the one deliberate exception. Codex reads AGENTS.md but does not automatically read CLAUDE.md, so the rules where a miss is catastrophic and unrecoverable are mirrored here, and only those, because they effectively never change. If this file and CLAUDE.md ever disagree, CLAUDE.md wins.

  • Never commit secrets. .env files, private keys, and service-account JSON stay gitignored.
  • Public mirror + leak-gate. This private repo publishes a sanitized public mirror via scripts/publish.sh, which strips projects/+transcripts/, freezes the public lesson set, and hard-fails on any leak. Run bash scripts/publish.sh (dry run) before publishing.
  • Never name a private project in CHANGELOG.md: it is not in the scrub set, so a private name written there fails the leak gate. Describe the feature, not the project.

Codex-specific notes

  • This repo's Codex config surface is exactly what /optimise --codex inventories anywhere else: this AGENTS.md, a project .codex/ directory (none here yet), and the relevant ~/.codex/config.toml. Adding a new top-level file? It must also be added to the ALLOWED path allowlist in scripts/publish.sh, or publishing hard-fails by design.
  • Tracked Codex usage lives in the registry: a multi-tool project gets a projects/<slug>/codex/ sub-area (its own current.md / improvements.md / applied-improvements.md / habits.md), audited by /optimise <slug> --codex and keyed <slug>/codex in projects/audit-log.md.
  • Honest scope. The lessons library is Claude-Code-first: /extract-social-lessons mines a Codex/OpenAI voice cluster, but keeps only lessons that transfer to general agentic coding. Codex is first-class in what this repo audits and tracks, not in what it ships. The slash commands and hooks are Claude Code artifacts and run there.

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.
