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

advpl-specialist 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 10d 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.

AGENTS.md — ADVPL/TLPP (TOTVS Protheus)

This file doubles as a distributable template: copy it to the root of your Protheus source repository so any AI agent follows these standards.

Project context

In this repository (advpl-specialist): this is a knowledge plugin for AI coding agents working with TOTVS Protheus. It ships 14 slash commands (commands/), 4 specialized agents (agents/), and 18 reference skills (skills/<name>/SKILL.md + companion reference files) covering code generation, review, debugging, refactoring, TLPP migration, documentation, SQL, testing, locks, business processes, Smart X, and SX dictionary configuration. There is no application runtime here — the "code" is markdown reference material and prompt instructions.

In a Protheus source repository where this file is copied: the project contains .prw (ADVPL) and/or .tlpp (TLPP) source files that run inside a Protheus AppServer, plus SX dictionary scripts and possibly REST/SOAP services. Apply the standards below to any file with those extensions.

Coding standards

  • Includes: .prw files always use #include "totvs.ch" (lowercase). Never use "protheus.ch" — it is obsolete. .tlpp files use dedicated .th includes (tlpp-core.th, tlpp-rest.th, tlpp-object.th, tlpp-probat.th, etc.). Do not add using namespace tlpp.* — the .th includes already bring what is needed.
  • Naming: Hungarian notation for variables — c (character), n (numeric), d (date), l (logical), a (array), o (object), b (code block), x (indefinite). User Functions use a module prefix + descriptive name (e.g. FATA001, COMA100); TLPP classes are PascalCase, methods camelCase.
  • Variable scope: Always prefer Local. Pass data via parameters, never via Private/Public. All Local declarations must appear at the top of the function, before any executable statement.
  • Database access: Use Embedded SQL (BeginSQL ... EndSQL) with macros — %table:TABLE%, %xFilial:TABLE%, %notDel%, %exp:EXPRESSION%, %Order:TABLE% — instead of raw SQL strings or TCQuery concatenation. Use TCSqlExec for DML. Every function that changes the current WorkArea (DbSelectArea, DbSetOrder, DbSeek) must save/restore it with GetArea()/RestArea().
  • Locking: Every RecLock must have a corresponding MsUnlock, including on error paths.
  • Automation: Prefer FWMVCRotAuto to automate MVC routines; use MsExecAuto only for legacy non-MVC routines.
  • TLPP namespaces: custom.<agrupador>.<servico> for customizations, totvs.protheus.<segmento>.<agrupador> for standard TOTVS namespaces — lowercase, dot-separated, no underscores.
  • Custom fields: Validate existence in SX3 before referencing any custom field. Custom fields follow <table-prefix>_X* (e.g. A1_XCODIGO). Custom user functions use the U_ prefix.
  • Error handling: Use BEGIN SEQUENCE ... RECOVER ... END SEQUENCE (ADVPL) or Try/Catch (TLPP), never leave error paths silently swallowed.
  • Encoding: ADVPL/TLPP source files use Windows-1252 (not UTF-8).
  • Documentation: Public functions, methods, and REST endpoints get a Protheus.doc header block (@type, @param, @return, @author, @since, @version, @history).

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.
