moth AGENTS.md

Project instructions for Moth, a TypeScript and Node.js MCP server that turns error logs into structured, source-backed repair notes. MCP is a way for an AI agent to call tools provided by a local server.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides work on error normalization, secret removal, stack and framework detection, fix suggestions, local memory, MCP input and output formats, and tests using common Next.js and TypeScript errors.
Why use it?
It keeps the first version focused, predictable, and read-only while defining how errors, secrets, fixes, and project memory should be handled. It also sets the required development and testing conventions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

moth 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 yesterday.

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 – Moth

Overview

  • TypeScript/Node.js MCP server.
  • Main goal: receive an error log through MCP and return a structured, source-backed fix brief.
  • Moth v0.1 is a lightweight Skill + MCP plugin for validating project-local bug-fix workflows.
  • Keep the MVP small, explicit, and deterministic.
  • Do not build autonomous code editing, crawlers, vector DB, sandbox, backend service, or background watchers unless requested.
  • Moth is read-only by default.

Environment

  • Package manager: pnpm.
  • Local dev should start the MCP server.
  • Prefer simple scripts:
    • pnpm dev
    • pnpm build
    • pnpm test
  • Use environment variables only for optional providers.
  • Never require external services for the first working MVP.
  • Local project memory should use:
.moth/fix-memory.jsonl

Testing

  • Unit tests should cover:

    • secret redaction
    • error normalization
    • fingerprint generation
    • stack/framework detection
    • local memory read/write
    • prior successful fix matching
    • prior failed fix avoidance
    • fix brief generation
    • MCP tool input/output schema
  • A commit must leave the test suite green.

  • Use fixtures for common errors:

    • Next.js
    • TypeScript
    • Prisma
    • Vite
    • ESLint

Coding Conventions

  • Use TypeScript.
  • Prefer simple, readable, deterministic code.
  • File names are kebab-case.
  • Keep modules small and focused.
  • Avoid premature abstractions.
  • Prefer explicit schemas for MCP tool inputs and outputs.
  • Do not hide important behavior behind agents or implicit side effects.
  • Suggested structure:

    analyze-error.ts
    remember-fix-result.ts

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.
