giselle: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

giselle AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from toyamarinyon/giselle. It costs 3,417 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of giselle AGENTS.md, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction guide for developing Giselle, an open-source system for designing and running AI workflows. It explains the project’s preference for small, clear code and its monorepo structure, where several related packages live in one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when implementing or reviewing Giselle code, cleaning up unused files or dependencies, validating inputs, or deciding how new changes should fit the repository.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents the project’s conventions before they change code, reducing unnecessary abstractions, dependencies, and inconsistent layouts.

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

giselle 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 7d 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 - Giselle Development Guide

Development Philosophy

Core Principle: Less is more

Keep every implementation as small and obvious as possible.

Guidelines

  • Simplicity first – Prefer the simplest data structures and APIs that work
  • Avoid needless abstractions – Refactor only when duplication hurts
  • Remove dead code earlypnpm tidy scans for unused files/deps and lets you delete them in one command
  • Minimize dependencies – Before adding a dependency, ask "Can we do this with what we already have?"
  • Consistency wins – Follow existing naming and file-layout patterns; if you must diverge, document why
  • Explicit over implicit – Favor clear, descriptive names and type annotations over clever tricks
  • Fail fast – Validate inputs, throw early, and surface actionable errors
  • Let the code speak – If you need a multi-paragraph comment, refactor until intent is obvious

Project Overview

Giselle is built to design and run AI workflows beyond prompt chains. Not a chat. Not a chain. A system you can run.

Key Features:

  • Visual editor
  • Instant execution
  • No infra headaches
  • Open source — self-host or use our cloud

Architecture

Monorepo Structure

Giselle uses a Turborepo monorepo with pnpm workspaces, organized into four main directories:

/workspace
├── apps/                    # Deployable applications
│   ├── studio.giselles.ai/  # Giselle Cloud (production)
│   └── ui.giselles.ai/      # UI component showcase
├── packages/                # Published SDK packages (@giselles-ai/*)
├── internal-packages/       # Internal shared packages (@giselle-internal/*)
└── tools/                   # Development utilities

Package Layers

SDK Packages (packages/@giselles-ai/*):

  • protocol — Core domain types and schemas (Workspace, Node, Task, Generation)
  • giselle — Engine implementation (tasks, generations, triggers, integrations)
  • react — React hooks and components for client integration
  • nextjs — Next.js integration with route handlers
  • language-model — Language model abstractions and cost calculations
  • language-model-registry — Provider-specific model implementations
  • rag — RAG pipeline (chunking, embedding, querying)
  • github-tool — GitHub integration utilities

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.
