agentops-template: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agentops-template AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from SarutobiSasuke8/agentops-template. It costs 2,642 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

The central instruction file for an agentops-template repository. It defines the project’s identity, product goal, required agent instruction files, and workflow for keeping them aligned.

In plain words
What is it for?
Defining project expectations, synchronising agent-specific instruction files, and running the repository’s agent-document checks.
Why use it?
It acts as the main source of rules for coding agents, reducing conflicting instructions between tools such as Claude, Codex, Gemini, and Copilot.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is SarutobiSasuke8/agentops-template's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agentops-template 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 agentops-template 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

agentops-template 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.

AGENTS.md - Canonical Agent Contract

This is the source of truth for all AI coding agents working in this repository.

Every model-specific instruction file must stay aligned with this contract:

  • CLAUDE.md
  • CODEX.md
  • GEMINI.md
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md
  • .cursor/rules/vibe-coding-core.mdc

When this file changes, update the adapters and run the drift check:

./scripts/check-agent-docs.sh     # macOS / Linux / git-bash
./scripts/check-agent-docs.ps1    # Windows PowerShell

Product Goal

Describe the real user-facing outcome this repo exists to create.

TODO: one or two paragraphs explaining what good looks like, who it helps, and what feeling it should create.

Non-Negotiable Standard

The project must be useful, reliable, and vibe-true.

Speed matters, but only as speed to quality. Do not ship impressive-looking work that fails under ordinary use. Do not bury uncertainty. Do not inflate scope. Protect the product feeling and the codebase at the same time.

Operating Loop

For non-trivial work, follow this loop:

  1. Understand the request and inspect relevant files.
  2. State assumptions, ambiguities, and tradeoffs when they matter.
  3. Define success criteria before implementing.
  4. Make the smallest coherent change.
  5. Verify with the narrowest meaningful check.
  6. Add or update the quality ratchet when behavior changes.
  7. Report what changed, what was verified, and what risk remains.

For trivial one-line fixes, use judgment and keep the handoff concise.

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.
