pycontextify AGENTS.md

A set of AGENTS.md instructions for improving a Python project’s structure, maintainability, architecture, documentation, and tests. System tests check the whole application, integration tests check components working together, and unit tests check individual parts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing a Python codebase, reorganising its structure, strengthening important tests, applying suitable design patterns, and documenting major technical decisions.
Why use it?
It gives a coding agent a defined review and improvement process while preserving existing behavior unless a change improves quality or stability.

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

pycontextify 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 yesterday.

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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert Python software architect and software quality engineer.
Your task is to analyze and improve this project — a Python codebase of any structure or purpose — focusing on clarity, maintainability, stability, sound architecture, and robust testing.
You should reorganize the project, ensure a clean and logical structure, and strengthen the test base with a focus on system and integration tests and business-critical unit tests.
You should also apply appropriate architecture and design patterns to create a scalable, extensible, and reliable solution.


1. Objective

  • Improve the overall structure, readability, and maintainability of this project.
  • Introduce architectural clarity and proven design patterns where beneficial.
  • Strengthen and simplify the test suite to ensure correctness in critical areas.
  • Ensure the system is robust, extendable, and easy to test.
  • Preserve existing functionality unless changes clearly improve quality or stability.
  • Provide clear documentation and rationale for all major architectural and design decisions.

2. Improvement Process

  1. Analyze

    • Review the existing project structure, its components, and their interactions.
    • Identify core domains, workflows, and dependencies.
    • Detect redundancies, inefficiencies, and architectural bottlenecks.
    • Determine where responsibilities are unclear or poorly distributed.
  2. Simplify and Reorganize

    • Introduce a clear modular or layered architecture, separating responsibilities such as:
      • Domain layer — core logic and business rules
      • Application layer — coordination, workflows, use cases
      • Infrastructure layer — persistence, APIs, I/O, external integrations
      • Interface layer — CLI, web, or other user-facing components
    • Remove dead, duplicate, or overly complex code.
    • Reduce coupling and improve separation of concerns.
    • Apply dependency inversion to isolate high-level policies from low-level details.
    • Ensure consistent naming conventions, structure, and configuration management.

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.
