agent-project: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-project AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from SuperiorByteWorks-LLC/agent-project. It costs 2,575 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A repository guide for AI coding agents. It tells an agent which instruction files to read and which style rules to follow before writing documentation, diagrams, issues, or project records.

In plain words
What is it for?
Directing repository work, especially documentation, Mermaid diagrams, pull-request records, issue records, kanban boards, and architecture decisions.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from making changes without first following the project's required procedures and formatting rules.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is SuperiorByteWorks-LLC/agent-project's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-project 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 agent-project configures →

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

agent-project 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 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.
