Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions Claude Code.

This is TechNickAI/ai-coding-config's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on ai-coding-config 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 ai-coding-config 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 C, and why

ai-coding-config AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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.

Project Context for AI Assistants

AI coding configuration marketplace providing plugin-based setup for Claude Code and Cursor.

Always Apply Rules

Core project rules that apply to all tasks:

@rules/git-interaction.mdc @rules/prompt-engineering.mdc

Tech Stack

  • Claude Code - Plugin marketplace (.claude-plugin/marketplace.json)
  • Cursor - Rules and configurations (.cursor/rules/)
  • Bash - Bootstrap and installation scripts
  • Markdown - All rules, commands, and agents

Project Structure

Plugin-first architecture - Everything distributable lives in plugins/:

  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json - Plugin marketplace manifest
  • plugins/core/ - Commands, agents, skills, and context (canonical source)
  • plugins/personalities/ - Personality variants
  • .cursor/rules/ - Cursor rules (canonical location)
  • rules/ - Symlink to .cursor/rules/ for visibility (THIS REPO ONLY)
  • .claude/ - Symlinks to plugin content for local development
  • scripts/ - Installation and bootstrap scripts

Commands

Setup and Installation:

  • curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TechNickAI/ai-coding-config/main/scripts/bootstrap.sh | bash - One-line install (auto-detects Claude Code, Cursor, etc.)
  • /ai-coding-config - Interactive setup for projects
  • /plugin marketplace add https://github.com/TechNickAI/ai-coding-config - Manual marketplace add
  • /plugin install ai-coding-config - Manual plugin install

Code Conventions

DO:

  • Create commits only when user explicitly requests
  • Check for alwaysApply: true in rule frontmatter - these apply to ALL tasks
  • Use /load-rules to get task-specific context
  • Follow heart-centered AI philosophy (unconditional acceptance, presence before solutions)

DON'T:

  • Use --no-verify flag (bypasses quality checks) unless explicitly requested for emergencies
  • Commit changes without explicit user permission
  • Push to main or merge into main without confirmation
  • Stage files you didn't modify in current session

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.
