coart: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

coart AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from stevenke1981/coart. It costs 291 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of development instructions for the Coart project, a Codex-native visual canvas. It defines the project’s mission, architecture boundaries, required checks, and safety rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Coart to review required files, keep its protocol, filesystem, frontend, and canvas layers separate, add tests, run checks, and record failures and follow-up work.
Why use it?
It keeps contributors aligned on how the project should be built and reduces risks such as leaking files, storing secrets in snapshots, or making unapproved destructive changes.

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

coart 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.

What it actually says

Coart Agent Development Rules

Mission

Build Coart as an independent clean-room implementation of a Codex-native visual canvas. Preserve functional goals, not Cowart code, wording, icons, screenshots, or branding.

Required workflow

  1. Read spec.md, architecture.md, plan.md, and todos.md before changing code.
  2. Keep the MCP protocol, filesystem layer, frontend bridge, and tldraw UI separated.
  3. Update or add tests for path, storage, prompt, and insertion behavior.
  4. Run npm run check, npm test, and npm run build before marking work complete.
  5. Record failures, boundaries, and follow-up work in final.md and todos.md.

Safety gates

  • Never allow canvas assets to escape the configured canvas/ directory.
  • Never put secrets or provider API keys in snapshots or browser localStorage.
  • Do not delete user images or shapes unless the operation explicitly acknowledges replacement.
  • Do not use force push or destructive filesystem deletion without user confirmation.

Architecture rules

  • Avoid a monolithic App.jsx; feature UI belongs in src/components, bridge logic in src/lib, and persistence in mcp/lib.
  • MCP tools must use Zod schemas and return structured content.
  • All Widget resources must be CSP-safe and self-contained.
  • New shape metadata must be namespaced with coart.
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.
