tuva-core: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

tuva-core AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from tuva-health/tuva-core. It costs 4,652 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository guidance for Tuva Core, a dbt project that transforms health-care data. dbt is a tool for building data models with SQL, and this guidance describes its version contract, boundaries, and public data interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing dbt models, inputs, outputs, package versions, release comparisons, or data-quality interfaces.
Why use it?
It warns agents that model schemas, identifiers, and data-quality interfaces are shared contracts, helping prevent breaking changes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is tuva-health/tuva-core's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on tuva-core 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 tuva-core 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

tuva-core 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 today.

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.

Tuva Core Agent Operating Manual

Read and follow this file before changing Tuva Core, including from a linked worktree. It is the repository-local source of truth for ownership, safety, validation, CI, and release rules.

Tuva Core 1.0 Contract

  • The repository is tuva-health/tuva-core.
  • The dbt project name remains the_tuva_project for package compatibility.
  • dbt_project.yml declares version 1.0.0 and requires dbt 1.10.5 through 2.x. The complete 1.0 package ecosystem is validated against dbt Core 2.0 and dbt Fusion on DuckDB.
  • Repository main is the active integration line. A version on main is not a formal release by itself. A release also requires an immutable v<version> tag and a GitHub release.
  • Treat published model schemas, grains, identifiers, variables, selectors, and stable Data Quality interfaces as public contracts. Assume a change is breaking unless compatibility is demonstrated.
  • Use v0.18.0 only as the frozen pre-1.0 parity baseline. Never use a mutable branch as a release comparison baseline.

Repository Boundaries

Tuva Core owns the common transformation path:

  • Input Layer contracts in models/input_layer.
  • Standardization and terminology normalization in models/normalized_layer.
  • Service categories, encounters, member months, claims enrollment, and provider attribution in models/claims_preprocessing.
  • Public common-model outputs in models/core.
  • Opt-in Structural Data Quality and Logical Data Quality models in models/data_quality.
  • Package metadata in models/metadata.
  • The opt-in parity metric producer in models/parity.
  • Core-owned seed headers and loader macros in seeds and macros.

Tuva Core does not own optional marts or extensions. The accepted 1.0 standalone packages are:

  • ahrq_quality_indicators
  • ccsr
  • cms_chronic_conditions
  • cms_hcc
  • fhir_preprocessing
  • nyu_ed_classification
  • quality_measures
  • semantic_layer in repository semantic-layer

Installing a standalone package is its package-level enablement. Each package owns its models, tests, data assets, documentation, compatibility, and release lifecycle. Do not move optional-package code back into Core.

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.
