In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide software projects through mission definition, design, planning, coding, verification, and shipping, with agents for architecture and code review.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a shared process and rules for handing work between stages and specialists.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: SessionStart hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is SyloRei/claude-godmode's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on claude-godmode 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 claude-godmode 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

claude-godmode 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 703 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

This file is the cross-tool export of the claude-godmode agent roster and engineering rules. It is generated by bin/godmode-agents and is meant to be read standalone by any AI coding harness (Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and others) that does not have the claude-godmode plugin installed.

The claude-godmode workflow spine is:

/godmode → /mission → /brief → /plan → /build → /verify → /ship

Each stage hands off to the next: /godmode orients, /mission frames the goal, /brief specifies what and why, /plan decomposes into steps, /build implements one step at a time behind quality gates, /verify checks the brief's acceptance criteria, and /ship lands the change. The agents below are the specialists this spine delegates to; the rules below are the engineering standards every agent and stage upholds.

This document is generated — do not edit it by hand. Run bin/godmode-agents to regenerate it from agents/*.md and rules/godmode-*.md.

Agent roster

These are the specialist agents the workflow spine delegates to.

architect

System design and architecture agent. Use for: designing new systems, evaluating tradeoffs, planning migrations, reviewing architecture, API design, database schema design. Advisory only — does not modify code.

code-reviewer

Code-level reviewer. Use for: checking whether a change does the thing RIGHT — bugs, edge cases, security, performance, readability, and pattern violations in the implementation. Catches 'thing wrong' errors. Read-only.

convention-reviewer

Convention review lens. Use for: checking naming, file structure, and adherence to the project's existing conventions and patterns in a change. Read-only — analyzes and reports, cannot modify code.

debugger

Root-cause debugging agent that finds and fixes bugs in an isolated worktree. Use for: diagnosing failures, tracking down root causes, fixing regressions. Returns a branch with a minimal, tested fix and all quality gates green.

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.
