agentsmesh: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agentsmesh AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from sampleXbro/agentsmesh. It costs 1,738 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

AGENTS.md instructions for agentsmesh, a project that keeps coding-agent rules and tools in one source and generates configuration for different assistants. They define the generation workflow and require checking recorded lessons before edits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or changing agentsmesh rules, commands, skills, hooks, permissions, or generated assistant configurations.
Why use it?
They prevent edits to generated files from being overwritten and help agents follow project-specific operational rules.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is sampleXbro/agentsmesh's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agentsmesh 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 agentsmesh 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

agentsmesh 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AgentsMesh Generation Contract

NEVER edit generated files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/, .cursor/, .github/copilot-instructions.md, and other tool outputs) — agentsmesh generate overwrites them. Edit the canonical source in .agentsmesh instead, or agentsmesh.yaml to change targets and features, then run agentsmesh generate.

Lessons (BLOCKING)

Graph .agentsmesh/lessons/lessons.json is canonical; never hand-edit it. Manual: lessons skill.

Recall: before every file edit or state-changing command, MUST run agentsmesh lessons query --file <path> --cmd <command> --session auto and obey matches; at task start, ALSO run agentsmesh lessons query --keyword "<task terms>" --always --session auto for conceptual + universal rules no path/command names. Pure-read commands and recall itself are exempt.

Capture: after any failure, user correction, regression, wrong assumption, useful surprise, repeated friction, or non-obvious fix, MUST self-critique and run agentsmesh lessons add "<imperative rule>" --topic <id> --trigger-file <glob> --evidence <sha|lesson-id>.

Before final: report Lesson: captured <id> or Lesson: none. No recall/capture gate = task incomplete. No shell: use lessons_query / lessons_add.

Operational Guidelines

Workflow

Planning

  • Enter plan mode for any non-trivial task (3+ steps or architectural decisions). Write plan to tasks/todo.md.
  • If something goes sideways, STOP and re-plan — don't keep pushing.
  • Check in before starting implementation. Mark items complete as you go.

Subagents

  • Use subagents liberally for research, exploration, and parallel analysis. One tack per subagent.

Verification

  • Never mark a task complete without proving it works — run tests, check logs, demonstrate correctness.
  • After every feature/story: use post-feature-qa skill (.agentsmesh/skills/post-feature-qa/).
  • Ask yourself: "Would a staff engineer approve this?"

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.
