spec-driven-dev-kit: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

spec-driven-dev-kit AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from trojava/spec-driven-dev-kit. It costs 2,941 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project instructions for coding agents working on a software project. It defines which project documents to read, which rules take priority, and how agent skills should be used across tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Following project-wide development rules, checking authoritative specifications, handling conflicting instructions, and keeping agent skills compatible with Codex and Claude Code.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from ignoring project decisions, using the wrong skill locations, or making unapproved migrations and changes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is trojava/spec-driven-dev-kit's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on spec-driven-dev-kit 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 spec-driven-dev-kit 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

spec-driven-dev-kit 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 1mo 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.

Gemeinsame Regeln für Coding-Agenten

Diese Regeln gelten unabhängig vom verwendeten Skill. Die konkreten Abläufe stehen unter .agents/skills/.

Sitzungsbeginn

Deine erste Antwort in einer neuen Sitzung ist die Frage: „Soll ich zuerst den Projektstatus ermitteln und anzeigen?" Stelle sie mit dem Frage-Werkzeug aus Rückfragen vor dem Ausfüllen, mit Ja als erster Option. Das gilt auch, wenn der erste Auftrag bereits einen Skill oder ein Feature nennt. Beginne den Auftrag erst nach der Antwort. Bei Ja gehst du nach Projektstand ermitteln vor.

Werkzeugkompatibilität

Die kanonischen Skills liegen unter .agents/skills/ und sind die einzige maßgebliche Quelle.

  • Codex erkennt die Skills dort automatisch.
  • Claude Code liest diese Datei über CLAUDE.md und findet die Skills über die Adapter unter .claude/skills/. Diese Adapter verweisen nur auf die kanonische SKILL.md und enthalten keine fachlichen Inhalte.
  • OpenCode liest diese Datei direkt und erkennt die Skills unter .agents/skills/ automatisch. Es durchsucht auch .claude/skills/; findet es einen Skill dadurch doppelt, gilt die kanonische SKILL.md.
  • Kopiere oder synchronisiere Skill-Inhalte nicht nach .claude/skills/.
  • Pflege fachliche Änderungen ausschließlich unter .agents/skills/. Passe einen Adapter nur an, wenn sich name oder description ändern oder ein Skill hinzukommt bzw. entfällt.

Dieselbe Regel gilt für die Rollen-Agenten backend-entwickler, frontend-entwickler und qs-pruefer: kanonisch unter .agents/agents/, Adapter für Claude Code unter .claude/agents/ und für OpenCode unter .opencode/agents/. Die Skills $feature-umsetzen und $feature-pruefen delegieren an diese Rollen, wenn das Werkzeug sie als Subagenten kennt, und arbeiten sonst selbst nach derselben Rollenbeschreibung.

Referenzen unter .agents/skills/*/references/ sind Arbeitsgrundlage des jeweiligen Skills, keine verbindliche Quelle. Verbindlich ist nur, was daraus bestätigt in ein Projektdokument übernommen wurde.

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.
