pitway: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

pitway AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from thixpin/pitway. It costs 1,900 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file for PitWay, a tool that controls the project’s engineering workflow through milestones, contracts, and bounded tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides agents through task status checks, milestone-based development, protocol roles, and the rule that workflow files must not be edited directly.
Why use it?
It requires agents to resume the workflow and confirm the task context before writing code, helping keep changes within an approved scope.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

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

pitway 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.

Agent Instructions

  • This project uses PitWay to control the engineering workflow.
  • Run pitway resume before starting or resuming any work.
  • Never edit .pitway/ directly.
  • Work only within a confirmed task boundary.
  • Obtain a task's bounded context via pitway task-status <id> --context.
  • The driver protocol is split into roles: protocol-driver.md (Main Agent: developer conversation and every approval gate), protocol-orchestrator.md (Orchestrator: task execution), and protocol-worker.md (Worker: one bounded task) in the installed driver directory.

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

Project Status

PitWay is developed using its own workflow (dogfooding): every change lands through a confirmed milestone/contract/task, following the pipeline below. The authoritative sources are the workflow state in .pitway/ (milestones, contracts, backlog) — the original design record is archived at docs/archive/IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN-v1.0.md (frozen; never updated).

  • Never write implementation code outside a confirmed milestone task. A milestone's contract must be presented to the developer and explicitly approved in conversation before its baseline commit or any task work.
  • Check .pitway/state.yaml and the active milestone's contract.md / tasks.yaml to find current state and next work before doing anything.

What PitWay Is

An npm-distributed CLI (npx pitway init; unscoped package name pitway) that controls the engineering process around AI coding agents — it is not itself an agent. Core philosophy: "Claude drives the interaction; PitWay controls the workflow state and engineering boundaries."

Pipeline: Requirement → Milestone → Contract → human confirmation → verification plan → right-sized task graph → task-level TDD (RED→GREEN→REFACTOR) → verification → atomic commit → milestone contract verification → completion.

Changes

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.
