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

This is Shiyao-Huang/awesome-agent-evolution's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on awesome-agent-evolution itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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 C, and why

awesome-agent-evolution AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

AGENTS.md

L1

你在这个仓库的任务是维护 Self Evolve 的研究管线:raw 归 raw,加工归 processed,工作产物归 work,结果归 results,并让全部内容可索引、可追溯、可构建。

L2

先读 docs/project-management/user-direct-inputs.md,再读 CURRENT_GOAL.md:它们只代表用户直接输入,不代表 team 的二手描述。然后读 README.mdCONTENT_INDEX.mddocs/project-management/project-structure.mddocs/indexes/master-index.md。任何新增长期产物都要更新索引,任何会影响论文或网站的改动都要跑对应验证。

L3

这个项目的主要矛盾是:素材、分析、论文、网站和结果曾经混在一起,现在必须被同一条数据流管理。不要为了目录看起来干净而破坏已有脚本、论文引用或网站路由;物理迁移前先用 rg 找引用。根目录只留入口、法律文件和兼容文件,新的规则和长文档进入 docs/。项目深度分析要像 model card 一样能教学:说明问题、方法、证据、限制、适用场景和与自进化的关系。完成工作前刷新索引并汇报验证结果。

Writing Rules

  • L0 Highest guidance — public copy quality first: 用户已明确指出,公开文案质量是最高指导。网站、README、README-EN、论文页、topic/blog/SEO 入口和 metadata 不能只是“造了一堆网页”;它们必须有清晰逻辑、可读、可吸收、接近高质量知识型/Hacker News 级别文案,并且中英双语面向全球读者表达同一条证据链。公开页面数量、SEO 覆盖、视觉效果、内部 workflow 都低于这个指导。
  • Visualization first: 当图表比文字更容易表达时,必须使用图表(Mermaid DAG、SVG、数据流图)。不要只写文字。
  • Mom Test usability: README 和面向用户的内容必须通过 "Mom Test"——一个非专业人士能否理解这个项目做什么、为什么重要?
  • Public copy review gate: 所有公开文案,尤其是网页、README、README-EN、SEO/topic/blog 页面和站点 metadata,发布前必须经过 3-5 个读者/编辑 agents 与 3 个学术 agents 的审查。读者/编辑审查关注 Mom Test、可读性、行动路径、中文默认入口和英文镜像;学术审查关注术语准确性、证据链、claim 强度、限制和 [UNVERIFIED] 标注。无法实际调度 agents 时,必须在交付说明中明确这是缺口,不能把该文案标记为质量已完成。
  • Evidence chain: 每个分析结论必须可追溯到 raw 数据源。如果无法追溯,标注 [UNVERIFIED]
  • Layered output: 判断用 1 句话,证据用 3 句话,完整论证用 5+ 句话。
  • Audience boundary: README、网站首页、论文页和 SEO 内容是给外部读者/消费者看的,不是 agent 操作手册。不要把启动检查、内部构建命令、agent wiki 流程、handoff 规则或自我系统说明写进 README 主体;这些规则进入 AGENTS.mdCLAUDE.mdCLOUD.mddocs/ops/
  • Consumer-facing README: README 只回答读者关心的问题:这个项目是什么、为什么重要、核心结论是什么、证据在哪里、下一步读什么。内部维护规则可以链接到 agent/cloud 手册,但不要占据 README 叙事。
  • Workflow split: 具体分界见 docs/ops/audience-boundary-workflow.md。公开页出现 Workflow A/BCLAUDE.md Iron Rules、handoff、启动检查、内部构建命令等词时,优先改写成读者能理解的证据边界,并把操作细节移到 ops。
  • Bilingual public surface: 网站、README、论文页、SEO/topic/blog 入口和发布 metadata 必须按中英双语治理;中文 zh-CN 是默认读者入口,英文是同证据链镜像,不允许用英文替换、稀释或删除中文叙事。

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.
