lyt: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

lyt AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from TanaTTV/lyt. It costs 562 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file describing how to work on TanaTTV/lyt, a Node.js command-line tool that wraps yt-dlp and ffmpeg for downloading or processing media.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find the project’s entry points, run its tests and website checks, understand the experimental desktop app’s status, and verify packaged builds.
Why use it?
It explains the repository’s non-obvious setup, supported areas, and standard checks so an agent does not assume ordinary dependency or release practices.

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

This is TanaTTV/lyt's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on lyt 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 lyt 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

lyt 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.

Cursor Cloud specific instructions

lyt is a zero-runtime-dependency Node.js CLI (Node 20+) that wraps yt-dlp and ffmpeg. The npm package and the website/ static site have no npm dependencies and no lockfiles, so npm install is a no-op. Do not expect a node_modules directory.

Services / surfaces

  • CLI (production product): entry points bin/lyt.js, bin/yt3.js, bin/yt4.js. Run directly, e.g. node bin/lyt.js --help.
  • Website (website/): dependency-free static site. Standard commands live in website/package.json (build, check, serve). npm run serve listens on 127.0.0.1:4173.
  • Desktop app (app/): experimental Tauri prototype, explicitly NOT part of the release (see app/README.md). Requires Rust/Tauri toolchain; out of scope for normal development.

Lint / test / build / run

  • There is no separate lint step in this repo. Standard commands are in package.json and README.md (npm test, npm run check:pack, npm run check:website, npm run check, npm run smoke:linux).
  • npm run check runs the Node test suite + npm-pack payload verification + website build/SEO checks.
  • npm run smoke:linux packs the CLI, installs it globally to a temp prefix, and performs a real permitted download from Wikimedia Commons (needs network
    • a provisioned yt-dlp).

yt-dlp provisioning (non-obvious)

  • ffmpeg is preinstalled system-wide, but yt-dlp is NOT on PATH.
  • lyt manages its own checksum-verified yt-dlp binary under ~/.local/share/lyt/bin/. The startup update script runs node bin/lyt.js doctor --fix to provision it ahead of time; the CLI also auto-downloads it on first real use. The unit tests do NOT need yt-dlp (they mock it), so tests pass even before provisioning.
  • Provisioning and real downloads need outbound network (GitHub releases for the binary, and the media host). Use lyt doctor to confirm readiness.
  • Clipboard integration is unavailable on this headless Linux VM (no xclip/xsel/wl-clipboard); --paste/--watch will not work here.

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.
