montage: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

montage AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from simplexlabs/montage. It costs 4,917 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for a Next.js and Remotion project used to create programmatic videos. It explains the local services, rendering commands, and special limitations in Cursor Cloud containers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running the web interface and video preview tools, rendering still frames or selected video ranges, and developing safely without unnecessary database, Docker, or external services.
Why use it?
It prevents developers from starting the wrong service or rendering workflow in a restricted environment. It also encourages checking individual frames and sections while editing.

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

montage 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 2mo 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

Cursor Cloud specific instructions

Overview

This is a Next.js + Remotion programmatic video editing project. There are two dev services:

  • Remotion Studio — interactive preview/editing environment for video compositions
  • Next.js dev server — web UI with embedded @remotion/player

No database, Docker, or external services are required for local development.

Running services

See README.md for standard commands (npm run dev, npx remotion studio, etc.).

  • Remotion Studio (local non-Cursor only): npx remotion studio src/remotion/index.ts (default port 3000; use --port 3123 to avoid conflicts with Next.js)
  • Cursor/Cloud containers: do not run npx remotion studio (it can crash Cursor containers). Instead, render individual frames (npx remotion still) and individual section segments (npx remotion render --frames=<start>-<end>).
  • Next.js dev: npm run dev (port 3000)
  • Render a still frame: npx remotion still src/remotion/index.ts <CompositionId> --frame=<N> --output=/tmp/frame.png

Rendering workflow

Do NOT one-shot all sections at once without viewing them. For each section and each change you make to a section/sequence in the master composition, you MUST render stills and visually inspect them before moving on. Build one section → register it → render key frames → verify → then move to the next. Always show the rendered stills inline so the user can glance at progress. Do NOT ask for approval — just show and keep moving.

Render stills to inspect animations frame-by-frame:

npx remotion still src/remotion/index.ts <CompositionId> --frame=<N> --output=/tmp/frame.png

Render a section as MP4 to show completed work:

npx remotion render src/remotion/index.ts <CompositionId> --output=/opt/cursor/artifacts/<name>.mp4 --frames=<start>-<end> --concurrency=1

Render the full composition:

npx remotion render src/remotion/index.ts <CompositionId> --output=/opt/cursor/artifacts/<name>.mp4 --concurrency=1

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.
