rudder AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Rudder, open-source software for assigning, running, reviewing, and improving work performed by AI agents. They describe its product rules, repository identity, and how to read the project documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing Rudder’s product logic, documentation, naming, onboarding, or repository structure, especially when legacy Paperclip identifiers need to remain compatible.
Why use it?
They help contributors preserve the product’s intended behavior and avoid confusing the working Rudder project with its template for other projects.

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 C, and why

rudder AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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 3d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Guidance for human and AI contributors working in this repository.

1. Purpose

Rudder is open-source software for assigning, running, reviewing, and improving agent work. It connects goals, tasks, knowledge, runs, reviews, budgets, and workflows so agents can work within clear boundaries, collaborate, and move work forward. The current product behavior contract is the guarded Product Logic Registry in doc/product/. The product north-star metric is the weekly count of real agent-work loops successfully completed through Rudder end-to-end.

1.1 Repository Identity

  • This repository began as a Rudder fork/derivative of an early version of Paperclip. When renaming or rebranding internals, prefer compatibility-preserving changes for legacy paperclip* identifiers, config keys, and protocol values unless a deliberate breaking migration is planned.
  • Treat the product description above as the current canonical short introduction when updating README, product docs, and onboarding copy.

2. Read This First

Read docs in layers instead of scanning the whole doc/ tree.

Documentation folders have different audiences:

  • docs/ is the public website documentation. It is user-facing, use-case-led, and written for installation, onboarding, and product understanding.
  • doc/ is internal product, engineering, plans, and archive documentation for contributors working on Rudder itself.

When the task is to improve website docs, edit docs/. When the task is to change contributor/product-development guidance, edit doc/.

Start here for almost every task:

  1. doc/product/PRODUCT.md
  2. doc/product/README.md

Then choose the route that matches the work:

  • Desktop app, packaging, installer, local prod startup:
    • doc/README.md
    • doc/engineering/DESKTOP.md
    • doc/engineering/DEVELOPING.md
    • desktop/scripts/smoke.mjs
    • scripts/prod-desktop.mjs
  • Server/runtime/database work:
    • doc/README.md
    • doc/engineering/DEVELOPING.md
    • doc/engineering/DATABASE.md
    • doc/engineering/DEPLOYMENT-MODES.md
    • relevant doc/product/domains/** contracts when behavior changes
  • CLI/task-surface work:
    • doc/README.md
    • doc/engineering/CLI.md
    • relevant doc/product/domains/issues/**, doc/product/domains/work-routing/**, and doc/product/domains/agents/** contracts
  • Visible UI or interaction design work:
    • doc/README.md
    • doc/product/PRODUCT.md
    • doc/engineering/DESIGN.md
    • relevant doc/product/domains/** contracts for user-visible behavior
  • Release/publishing work:
    • doc/README.md
    • doc/engineering/RELEASING.md
    • doc/engineering/PUBLISHING.md
    • doc/engineering/RELEASE-AUTOMATION-SETUP.md
  • Plugin work:
    • doc/README.md
    • doc/engineering/PLUGIN_AUTHORING_GUIDE.md
    • doc/engineering/PLUGIN_RUNTIME_CONTRACT.md
    • doc/product/domains/plugins/**

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.
