codecollection-devtools AGENTS.md

A repository guide for setting rules used by AI coding assistants across different editors and tools. It explains where the shared rules live, how the folders are linked, and how to add support for another agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining agent rules, setting up Cursor or Windsurf support, adding another assistant, or updating the shared Markdown rule files.
Why use it?
It removes uncertainty about which rule files are authoritative and where each coding assistant expects them. It also helps prevent agents from using inconsistent or outdated instructions.

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

codecollection-devtools 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 yesterday.

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

Agent Rules

This repository provides agent-agnostic rules for AI coding assistants. All skill files live in .agents/ and are symlinked into agent-specific directories at setup time.

Directory layout

.agents/              # Canonical rule files (agent-agnostic)
├── *.mdc             # Generated from skills/ by `task install-skills`
│                     # (gitignored by root .gitignore: .agents/*.mdc)

.cursor/rules -> ../.agents   # Symlink for Cursor IDE

Adding a new agent

To add rules support for another IDE or AI agent:

# Create a symlink from the agent's expected rules directory to .agents/
ln -s ../.agents .your-agent/rules

Common agent rule directories:

Agent / IDE Rules path Symlink command
Cursor .cursor/rules/ ln -s ../.agents .cursor/rules
Windsurf .windsurf/rules/ ln -s ../.agents .windsurf/rules
Cline / Roo Code .clinerules/ (flat file, see below)

Note: Some agents (like Cline) use flat files rather than directories. For these, concatenate the relevant .mdc files into the agent's expected format rather than symlinking.

Source of truth

Rule files are authored as Markdown in skills/ and installed into .agents/ by task install-skills (part of task setup). The .mdc files in .agents/ are generated and should not be committed.

To refresh rules after updating skills:

task install-skills
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.
