nsforge-mcp: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

nsforge-mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from u9401066/nsforge-mcp. It costs 990 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for working on NSForge, an MCP server that turns concepts into traceable symbols, derivations, algorithms, and code. They define the project's working style and verification command.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying the NSForge repository, especially when generating mathematical or code results, adding regression tests, or running its verification checks.
Why use it?
They give coding agents a shared standard for provenance, deterministic tool use, language, tests, and checking that changes preserve the green baseline.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Codex; built for cline.

This is u9401066/nsforge-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on nsforge-mcp 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 nsforge-mcp 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

nsforge-mcp 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.

NSForge Agent Harness

Workspace instructions for autonomous agents (Copilot, Cline, Codex, OpenHands, Hermes, …) working in the Neurosymbolic Forge (NSForge) repository.

Goal

Help build and operate NSForge — an MCP server that turns concepts into verifiable, traceable entities (symbols → derivations → algorithms). The AI orchestrates; deterministic tools reify. See docs/reification-ladder-direction.md for the north star.

North Star

Every symbol / equation / value / line of code in a final result must have a tool call as its "birth certificate" (provenance). The AI must not hand-derive any of them.

Success = the amount the AI computes by hand approaches zero.

Working Style

  • Use Traditional Chinese unless the user asks otherwise.
  • Prefer exact file paths, command output summaries, and verification results.
  • Offload mechanical/deterministic steps (symbolic calculation, simplification, code generation) to tools — do not hand-derive formulas.
  • When changing behavior, add a focused regression test under tests/.

Ground Truth: one command

Before and after changes, verify against the green baseline:

python scripts/check.py            # all gates
python scripts/check.py --json     # machine-readable summary (for agents)
python scripts/check.py --gates lint,type,test   # subset

Gates: 14 total — lint, format, type, security, import, manifest, mcp, test, bench, generic, provenance, package, harness, diff. Exit code 0 = green. (bench = derivation-correctness of benchmarks/*.json through the L3 orchestrator; generic = arbitrary unseen compositions derive correctly, proving NSForge is a derivation calculus, not a hand-built formula library; provenance = every benchmark derivation carries a complete tool-provenance ledger, no hand-derived leaks; mcp = MCP 2.1.1 discovery, schemas, metadata, payloads, resources, prompts, and legacy-client compatibility stay green; security = executable source has no high-severity Bandit finding; package = sdist/wheel build, isolated install, packaged assets, and installed MCP smoke stay green; harness = the harness self-checks its own invariants — package version parity, self-describing tools, and gate/doc parity — so agents can trust the signal.)

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.
