What is sanzaru AGENTS.md?

Contributor instructions for the Sanzaru Python project, an MCP server that connects coding agents to media-generation tools. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to call tools provided by another program.

Use them to set up Sanzaru, run its server, connect it to Codex, generate or download media, check job status, manage references, and follow the project's coding conventions.

They explain how to install, run, connect to, and smoke-test the server, avoiding setup mistakes. They also document the available video, image, and reference-image operations.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00722	$0.00722
Opus 5	$0.00361	$0.00361
Sonnet 5	$0.00144	$0.00144
Haiku 4.5	$0.00072	$0.00072

Security

Grade A, and why

sanzaru 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 8d 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.

Repository Guidelines

This document helps contributors work effectively in this repository.

Project Structure & Module Organization

src/sanzaru/ — MCP server (entrypoint server.py, CLI sanzaru).
videos/, images/ — Downloaded videos and reference images (git-ignored).
README.md — Setup and tool usage; setup.sh — interactive setup; .mcp.json — sample MCP config.

Build, Test, and Development Commands

Install deps: uv sync (use uv venv first if needed).
Run server: uv run sanzaru (loads .env).
Quick start: ./setup.sh (prompts for OPENAI_API_KEY, creates folders, installs deps).
Codex integration (from repo root):
- codex mcp add sanzaru -- uv run --directory "$(pwd)" sanzaru
Smoke test (via MCP tools): create a video/image, poll status, then download (see README for tool list).

Sora Toolkit & Prompting

Tools: create_video, get_video_status, download_video, list_videos, delete_video, remix_video; images: create_image, get_image_status, download_image; refs: list_videos_references, prepare_reference_image.
Flows: Video only (create → poll → download) or Image → Video (generate image → download → use as input_reference_filename).
Prompting: see docs/sora2-prompting-guide.md. Think “action + subject + scene + style + camera + lighting + mood”.
Example: create_video(prompt="wide tracking shot of a neon-lit rainy alley, cinematic, 35mm", size="1280x720", seconds="8")

Coding Style & Naming Conventions

Python 3.10+, typed (prefer TypedDict, explicit return types).
snake_case for functions/vars, PascalCase for classes, constants UPPER_SNAKE.
Lint/format with ruff (line length 120, py310). Run: uv run ruff check . and uv run ruff format ..

Testing Guidelines

No formal tests yet. Do manual smoke tests: create → status → download for videos/images.
Verify files land in videos/ and images/; include exact steps in PRs.

Commit & Pull Request Guidelines

Commits: imperative mood, concise scope first (e.g., feat: add create_image tool).
Group related changes; avoid drive-by refactors.
PRs: include purpose, screenshots/paths of created files, and testing steps (commands + observed output).
Link issues when applicable; note any follow-ups.

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.
