standardgraph AGENTS.md

Project guidance for StandardGraph, a server that lets coding agents search and compare education standards from many curriculum systems. It describes the server's tools, data storage, architecture, and data-ingestion process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing StandardGraph, running its data-import pipeline, checking its databases, or working with searches, learning progressions, learning paths, and curriculum mappings.
Why use it?
It explains how the large standards database is organized and which parts are used by the server or by the data pipeline. This makes maintenance and troubleshooting more predictable.

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

standardgraph 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 3d 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.

StandardGraph — Codex context

What this is

FastMCP server exposing 175,000+ education standards across 310 curriculum systems as six MCP tools for Codex Desktop. Standards cover Math, Science, ELA, Social Studies, CS, Arts, and World Languages.

Architecture

packages/
  common-core/       → PyPI package "standardgraph" — the MCP server
    src/common_core/
      server.py      → all six MCP tools (search, lookup, progression, learning_path, map, list)
      config.py      → DB_PATH resolution (~/.standardgraph/common_core.db)
  ingestion/         → pipeline: fetchers → embed → relate → crosswalk
  shared/            → shared DB helpers

data/common_core.db          → dev/pipeline DB (used by overnight_run.sh)
~/.standardgraph/common_core.db  → installed user DB (used by MCP server)

scripts/
  mcp_test.py        → 333-test suite (imports server directly, no MCP protocol)
  overnight_run.sh   → full ingestion pipeline (run on Mac Studio overnight)
  dashboard.sh       → hardware + pipeline progress dashboard
  progress.sh        → pipeline-only progress view

Key facts

  • DB size: ~1.9 GB
  • Standards: 175,738 across 310 systems (incl. CCSS sub-standard decomposition, source-side decomposition of 11 high-bundling systems, CCSS Mathematical Practice standards, and the 2026-07 international expansion incl. 10 African systems)
  • Crosswalk rows: ~117,699 (hub-centric: CCSS for math, NGSS for science, etc.)
  • Crosswalk quality scores: ~75,055 rows (~63.8%) carry a 1–5 quality score (LLM rubric scoring + deterministic exact-match); pre-existing AP/IB source rows are scored. Remainder unscored (nlp_pass, ranked by cosine, treated as neutral quality) — includes new math mappings added by the 2026-07 decomposition/MP regeneration.
  • Relationships: ~3.79M rows (prerequisites/successors)
  • Ollama host: http://169.254.1.1:11434 (Mac Studio via Thunderbolt Bridge from Mini 2 — 0.4ms RTT)
  • HuggingFace dataset: swoopeagle/standardgraph (file: common_core.db)
  • PyPI package: standardgraph

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.

standardgraph AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository swoopeagle/standardgraph (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,148 tokens to every session, about $0.0107 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
