shiki AGENTS.md

Project instructions for working on Shiki, a Rust application with a command-line interface and a terminal user interface. They describe the project layout, commands, dependencies, tests, and rules that are easy to break.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when checking, testing, formatting, linting, auditing, or running Shiki, and when making architectural changes that must follow the project's documented design.
Why use it?
They give a coding agent the project facts it must know before changing the code, reducing mistakes such as using the wrong command or violating dependency direction.

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

shiki 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 2d 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 — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Read this first

  • CLAUDE.md is the exhaustive source of truth (layout, keybindings, config schema, git sync, release automation, per-file design rationale). Read the relevant section before any architectural change. IDEA.md is the design spec. AGENTS.md only covers what you'd otherwise guess wrong.
  • This is a Rust Cargo workspace (shiki-coreshiki-configshiki-tuishiki-cli, strict one-way deps). Binary name is shiki (in shiki-cli/src/main.rs), launched with no args = TUI, -- <args> = CLI subcommands.

Commands

cargo check --workspace                          # fast iteration
cargo test --workspace                           # the whole suite
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings   # CI gate — the -D warnings matters
cargo fmt --all                                  # then re-clippy
cargo audit                                      # CI runs this; ignore list lives in .cargo/audit.toml
cargo run -p shiki-cli -- --help                 # CLI; no args launches the TUI
  • CI (ci.yml) runs fmt --check (ubuntu only), clippy -D warnings and cargo test on all 3 OSes. Clippy is matrixed because shiki-core/src/editor.rs has #[cfg(target_os = ...)] blocks.
  • Never commit a clippy failure; -- -D warnings is enforced in CI.

Testing

  • There are ~293 #[test]s (134 in shiki-core, 17 shiki-config, 129 shiki-tui, 13 shiki-cli) — CLAUDE.md's "almost no tests yet" paragraph is stale. They are all inline #[cfg(test)] modules inside source files (no tests/ dirs, no #[ignore], no fixture setup). cargo test --workspace is green.
  • To exercise the CLI/TUI without touching real user data, override XDG dirs (used via directories::ProjectDirs::from("", "", "shiki")):
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/shiki-test-config XDG_DATA_HOME=/tmp/shiki-test-data cargo run -p shiki-cli -- notebook create personal
  • For shiki-tui logic, prefer pure functions over constructing a full App in a test — the pattern is panel_drawer::drawer_hit_at(notebook_count, area, column, row) (takes plain numbers, not &App).

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.
