solo AGENTS.md

Project instructions for Solo, covering its frontend, servers, database, daemon, local agent runtime, and testing rules. End-to-end testing checks the complete system with real components rather than simulated ones.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when designing or changing Solo product flows, tracing behavior across services, rebuilding the managed stack, and running full end-to-end tests.
Why use it?
They prevent narrow fixes that break another part of the product and require tests to confirm both visible results and saved database state.

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

solo 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Project testing rules

  • Before implementation, produce a complete architecture design covering the domain model, ownership and lifecycle, data flow, persistence, APIs, frontend state, failure recovery, migration, and compatibility with existing Solo behavior.
  • Review every change from the whole-project perspective. Trace the existing frontend, server, daemon, local agent runtime, session, and database paths before changing one feature path.
  • All new product-flow validation must use real components and dependencies; do not use mocks.
  • End-to-end tests must use the real frontend, API server, and PostgreSQL database.
  • Do not mock HTTP routes, backend services, or database behavior.
  • Validation must cover frontend behavior and the complete backend path, including the real local agent runtime when the feature invokes agents; UI-only tests are not sufficient.
  • Report E2E success only after verifying the user-visible result and persisted database state.

Project service lifecycle rules

  • An agent may start or restart the Solo frontend, API server, and daemon when requested, but only by running make rebuild from the repository root. Tests must reuse that make-managed stack.
  • Never create launchctl jobs or manually start these services with direct binaries, go run, npm run dev, nohup, or custom background commands.
  • When the user asks to stop the project, use make stop and verify that ports 3000, 8080, and 8081 are no longer listening. Do not restart services unless the user explicitly asks.
Changes

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.
