savant-code: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

savant-code AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from savant0x/savant-code. It costs 2,777 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for Savant-Code, a TypeScript monorepo: one project containing multiple related packages. They describe its multi-agent coding assistant, technologies, agent roles, and development rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing or reviewing Savant-Code, especially its ECHO Protocol workflow, agent roster, CLI, SDK, and package structure.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project-specific context needed to work consistently, including which agent handles each phase and which tools or files each role may use.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: SessionEnd hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md.

This is savant0x/savant-code's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on savant-code 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 savant-code 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

savant-code 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 13d 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.

Savant-Code

Savant-Code is the multi-agent AI coding assistant built on the ECHO Protocol v0.2.0.

All work is governed by ECHO Protocol. No code is written without a FID that has converged through the Perfection Loop.

Key Technologies

  • TypeScript monorepo (strict: true, noImplicitReturns: true)
  • Bun runtime + package manager (≥ 1.3.11; root pins 1.3.14 per engines.bun)
  • OpenTUI + React CLI (@opentui/core 0.5.3, react ^19)
  • JS/TS SDK — embeddable via SavantCodeClient
  • Composable agent runtime — ECHO 10-agent roster with separation of duties
  • ECHO Protocol v0.2.0 — single bootstrap file

Agent Roster (10 canonical ECHO roles)

The 10-agent roster is enforced in ARCHITECTURE.md. Each agent has restricted tools. See ARCHITECTURE.md → "Helper Tool Libraries" for the distinction between the 10 runtime roles and the filesystem entries in agents/.

Agent Phase Role
Orchestrator ALL Routes work, enforces protocol, spawns agents
Detective RED Codebase analysis + grep call-graphs
Forge GREEN Implementation only — writes code from converged FID
Verifier AUDIT Double-audit, run tests, check call-graph, cite file:line evidence
Recorder FID Create, track, archive FIDs. Update CHANGELOG.
Thinker Planning Sequential reasoning via sequentialthinking tool
Scout Explore Glob/list_directory/read_files for context gathering
Researcher Research Web search + scholarly literature via MCP + docs lookup
Scribe Docs Session summaries, LESSONS.md, knowledge files
Adversary ADVERSARIAL Meta-verification: refutes Verifier FAILs, re-audits unevidenced PASSes, verdicts override (FID-2026-0805-004)

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.
