sonicjs: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

sonicjs AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from SonicJs-Org/sonicjs. It costs 2,447 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for SonicJS, including rules for exploring code, delegating investigations, and using project-specific tools. It describes codegraph, an index that helps locate symbols and trace calls across the codebase, and rtk, a tool that shortens shell output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate symbols, trace how code flows, find callers and called functions, assess the impact of a change, or investigate broad cross-cutting questions.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a consistent way to find code and understand dependencies in a large repository.

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

This is SonicJs-Org/sonicjs's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on sonicjs 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 sonicjs configures →

About the project

SonicJS is a TypeScript-first headless content-management system that exposes content through REST APIs and an administrative interface, running on Cloudflare Workers or other SQLite-compatible environments. It is for developers building applications that manage and publish structured content, with storage through technologies such as D1 and R2. Catalogue add-ons help coding agents create and work with SonicJS projects and content.

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

sonicjs 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.

SonicJS Agent Guidelines

These instructions mirror the workflow Claude Code already follows in Conductor so every coding agent behaves consistently.

Token-Efficient Tooling (use FIRST, before grep/Read sprees)

This repo is indexed by codegraph (684 files, 5693 nodes). Use it as the default code-lookup tool. Hook also rewrites shell commands via rtk for 60-90% bash savings. Default response mode is caveman for terse output.

Decision tree — code exploration

Intent Tool Why
"How does X work / where does X live / trace flow X→Y" mcp__codegraph__codegraph_explore ONE call returns verbatim source grouped by file. Replaces many Read/Grep.
"Just the location of symbol named X" mcp__codegraph__codegraph_search Cheapest — name + path only.
"What calls this / what does this call / blast radius" codegraph_callers / codegraph_callees / codegraph_impact Edges already indexed; grep can't follow dynamic dispatch.
Pinpoint known file edit Read + Edit Codegraph not needed for known path.
Truly open-ended cross-cutting search Agent w/ Explore or cavecrew-investigator Compressed output, protects main context.

Rule: Before any 3+ Grep/Read combo for "where is X", call codegraph_explore first. Treat codegraph as a pre-built index — don't re-run searches it already answers.

rtk (Rust Token Killer)

  • Bash commands auto-rewritten by hook — transparent, 0 overhead. No action needed.
  • rtk gain to audit savings; rtk discover to find missed opportunities.
  • Don't bypass rtk with raw shell unless debugging.

caveman mode

  • Active by default (full). Drops articles/filler. Code blocks, commits, security warnings stay normal.
  • Toggle: /caveman lite|full|ultra, off via "stop caveman".

Delegation — cavecrew subagents

Use when scope is bounded AND output would bloat main context:

  • cavecrew-investigator — read-only locator ("where is X / what calls Y / map this dir"). ~60% smaller tool result vs vanilla Explore.
  • cavecrew-builder — surgical 1-2 file edit (typo, single-fn rewrite, mechanical rename). Refuses 3+ files.
  • cavecrew-reviewer — diff/PR review, one line per finding.

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.
