What is strait AGENTS.md?

A contributor guide for Strait, a Go-based platform that runs scheduled jobs and workflows through APIs and worker processes. It explains the project’s technology, layout, and main features.

Use it when onboarding to the Strait codebase, locating services and documentation, or deciding how to make and review changes.

It gives coding agents and contributors the repository context they need before changing code. It also records which documents to read and which instructions take priority.

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	$0.05821	$0.05821
Opus 5.5	$0.02328	$0.02328
Sonnet 5.5	$0.01164	$0.01164
Haiku 4.5	$0.00582	$0.00582

Security

Grade A, and why

strait 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.

1. What Strait is

Strait is a job orchestration and workflow platform shipped as a single Go binary. PostgreSQL is the source of truth. Strait's internal queue uses a vendored and modified SQL snapshot of PgQue as the ready-event log, while Strait owns run state, execution ownership, retries, workflows, workers, observability, and APIs. Redis powers pub/sub and SSE. Strait does not run user code itself: job code lives on the customer's infrastructure and is reached either through an HTTP endpoint Strait POSTs to, or through a long-lived worker process that connects to the API over gRPC and streams runs back. The binary runs in api, worker, or all mode. The two editions (community and cloud) are selected at compile time through Go build tags.

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.
