orbit: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

orbit AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from TheDartsCo/orbit. It costs 2,041 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Contributor instructions for Orbit, a Tauri desktop app that collects coding-agent transcripts from tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode into one searchable application. Tauri is a framework for building desktop apps with web interfaces and a native backend.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing Orbit, including its transcript indexing, SQLite storage, searchable interface, session viewing, or session-resume features.
Why use it?
It explains Orbit's two-process design and the commands needed to build, test, and run its frontend and Rust backend.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

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

orbit 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.

What is Orbit

Orbit is a Tauri v2 desktop app that aggregates and displays coding agent session transcripts from multiple AI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode). It indexes session files from each tool's local storage into a unified SQLite database, then presents them in a searchable, filterable UI with transcript viewing and session resume capabilities.

Build & Dev Commands

  • npm run tauri dev — Run the full app in dev mode (starts Vite frontend + Rust backend)
  • npm run dev — Start only the Vite frontend dev server (port 1420)
  • npm run build — TypeScript check + Vite production build (frontend only)
  • npm run tauri build — Full production build (frontend + Rust, produces native binary)
  • cargo build — Build only the Rust backend (run from src-tauri/)
  • cargo test — Run Rust tests (run from src-tauri/)
  • tsc --noEmit — TypeScript type check without emitting

There is no linter, formatter, or test runner configured for the frontend. There are no frontend tests.

Architecture

Two-process Tauri model

The app follows Tauri v2's split architecture:

  • Frontend (src/): React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS v4 + Vite. Communicates with the backend exclusively via invoke() from @tauri-apps/api/core.
  • Backend (src-tauri/): Rust. Exposes Tauri commands that the frontend calls. Manages all data access, file system scanning, and session parsing.

Backend (Rust) — key modules

  • adapters/ — One adapter per agent tool (Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode). Each implements the AgentAdapter trait which defines: detect() (is the tool installed?), scan() (find session files on disk), parse_session() (parse a session file into normalized NormalizedSession), resume_command(), and is_active(). The AdapterRegistry holds all adapters in a HashMap keyed by string ID.
  • adapters/claude.rs — Filters out Claude-Mem plugin observer sessions by checking if the first user message contains "claude-mem" or "Hello memory agent". These return Err("Subagent/plugin session, skipping") from parse_session().
  • indexer/ — Orchestrates scanning all adapters, parsing sessions, upserting into SQLite, managing stale session cleanup, and rebuilding the FTS5 index. Uses a size+mtime hash to skip unchanged files. Important: mark_stale_sessions() is called ONCE after ALL adapters finish (not per-adapter), using combined paths from every adapter — otherwise each adapter would delete the previous adapter's sessions.
  • db/ — schema.rs creates tables (sessions, messages, attachments) and a messages_fts FTS5 virtual table. queries.rs provides DbQueries for all SQL operations. The database lives at ~/<platform data dir>/orbit/orbit.db with WAL mode enabled.
  • commands.rs — Tauri command handlers (#[tauri::command]). These are the IPC boundary: get_sessions, get_session_messages, search_sessions, get_resume_command, launch_resume, get_active_sessions, reindex_all.
  • watcher.rs — File system watcher using the notify crate (kqueue on macOS). Currently defined but not wired into the main app loop.
  • models.rs — Shared data types: Session, Message, Attachment, AgentType, MessageRole, SessionFilters. These are serialized to/from JSON for the frontend via serde.

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.
