What is tech-route-maker AGENTS.md?

Project instructions for a tool that creates editable technical route diagrams for research and engineering projects. They explain what information to collect, which files to update, and how to validate the final diagram.

Use them when creating route diagrams, importing local research sources, choosing a diagram layout, rendering output files, and reviewing quality reports.

They give coding agents a consistent process for turning source material into a checked, editable diagram without guessing important domain details.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00558	$0.00558
Opus 5.5	$0.00223	$0.00223
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00112	$0.00112
Haiku 4.5	$0.00056	$0.00056

Security

Grade A, and why

tech-route-maker 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.

AGENTS.md

Project Overview

tech-route-maker is a portable agent skill for creating evidence-grounded editable technical route diagrams for research and engineering projects.

Use SKILL.md as the source of truth. This file exists so generic coding agents can discover and operate the skill without Codex-specific assumptions.

Required Behavior

Read SKILL.md before using the skill.
Read relevant files in references/ only when needed.
Establish domain_context before final rendering: discipline, subfield, project type, research object, method family, data/materials, constraints and evaluation metrics.
Read references/domain-profiles.md when the discipline is unclear or unfamiliar.
Always build or update tech-route.json before rendering final diagram files.
Offer the closest preset, but confirm missing domain facts and final output/layout/style choices instead of guessing them.
Run trm ingest for local source sets and preserve stable source IDs, paths, locators and SHA-256 hashes.
Record selected_preset and metadata.selected_output_formats in tech-route.json.
Report QUALITY_REPORT.md findings after rendering.
Run strict validation before final rendering. Inferred nodes and unresolved questions are draft-only.
Tell the user that generated editable files require factual and visual revision before formal use.
Keep diagrams editable. Do not replace PPTX/SVG/Draw.io/Excalidraw outputs with screenshots.
When the user asks for Draw.io copyable code, include drawio-code and explain how to paste tech-route.drawio-code.xml into diagrams.net / draw.io through Extras > Edit Diagram.

Common Commands

trm ingest source-files --output-dir evidence-pack
trm validate examples/academic-paper-demo/outputs/tech-route.json --strict
trm render examples/academic-paper-demo/outputs/tech-route.json examples/academic-paper-demo/outputs --formats pptx,svg,drawio,drawio-code,excalidraw,mermaid,html,markdown,json

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.
