agent-council: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-council AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from team-attention/agent-council. It costs 144 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for an AI-agent council project that uses a plan and to-do panel while work is in progress. The panel shows the current step and keeps the task sequence visible.

In plain words
What is it for?
They help display the active task, mark completed steps and update the plan after each stage of the council workflow.
Why use it?
They require the plan to be updated whenever a skill is used and while a council process runs. This makes long-running work easier to follow and keeps its status current.

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-council 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.

What it actually says

Project Instructions (Codex)

Plan / To-do UI (IMPORTANT)

  • When you decide to use any Skill, always call update_plan immediately (before any potentially long-running shell/tool calls) so Codex’s Plan/To-do panel appears. Include exactly one in_progress item in that first plan.
  • Keep the plan updated during execution (at most one in_progress step at a time).
  • For agent-council: after the first council.sh wait (the non-blocking one), feed .ui.codex.update_plan.plan into update_plan right away, then repeat wait → update_plan until done.

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.
