AGENTS.md

mergewarden AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from sjh9714/mergewarden. It costs 830 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for MergeWarden, a deterministic CI firewall that checks pull requests created with AI-generated code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Developing MergeWarden with its specified install, type-check, test, lint, and build commands, while preserving its GitHub Action and analysis safeguards.
Why use it?
It records non-negotiable security, testing, architecture, and dependency rules so changes remain consistent and reviewable.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is sjh9714/mergewarden's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mergewarden 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 mergewarden 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

mergewarden 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.

Project

This repository implements MergeWarden, a deterministic CI firewall for AI-generated pull requests.

Non-Negotiable Principles

  • Runtime analysis must not call LLMs by default.
  • The GitHub Action must not execute PR-controlled code.
  • The GitHub Action must eventually load mergewarden.yml from the PR base branch, not from the PR head branch.
  • All policy decisions must be explainable with deterministic evidence.
  • Core analysis must be independent from GitHub APIs.
  • Every rule must have fixture-based tests.
  • Prefer small, pure functions.
  • Use TypeScript strict mode.
  • Use Zod for future config and contract validation.
  • Use Vitest for tests.
  • Do not add production dependencies without updating this file and explaining why.

Commands

  • Install: pnpm install
  • Typecheck: pnpm typecheck
  • Test: pnpm test
  • Lint: pnpm lint
  • Build: pnpm build
  • Browser regression: pnpm build && node packages/web/scripts/browser-smoke.mjs (requires Chrome or Chromium; set CHROME_PATH outside standard locations)

Architecture

  • packages/core: pure analysis engine with no GitHub API dependency. It uses @noble/hashes for SHA-256 so finding IDs and policy digests stay identical in Node.js and browsers without a Node crypto shim.
  • packages/github: private API-only pull-request collection package; depends on @mergewarden/core through the workspace and exposes transport ports used by the Action and CLI. It adds no third-party production dependency.
  • packages/web: private static browser package; uses the shared core and GitHub packages to scan public PRs without a backend, token, checkout, or telemetry
  • packages/cli: public mergewarden CLI; uses the private core and GitHub packages at build time, then bundles every runtime dependency into the published executable so npm metadata has no private or workspace:* runtime dependency
  • packages/action: API-only GitHub Action wrapper package; depends on the private core and GitHub packages through the workspace and on the official @actions/core / @actions/github toolkit only to read pull request data through GitHub APIs, write bounded reports, set outputs, update the job summary, and optionally upsert a marked PR report comment without checking out or executing PR-controlled code

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.
