agent-orchestrator AGENTS.md

Repository instructions for Agent Orchestrator, a system with a Go command-line and server backend plus an Electron and React desktop interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying the backend, frontend, command-line tool, server, storage, agent lifecycle, terminal features, or project type and quality checks.
Why use it?
They explain the current architecture, where each responsibility belongs, and which checks to run, helping keep changes aligned with the rewrite.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

agent-orchestrator 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md

Operational guidance for coding agents working in this repository. Keep changes small, match the current rewrite architecture, and prefer the documented daemon/API boundaries over behavior from the old TypeScript implementation.

Repo layout

  • backend/ — Go rewrite of Agent Orchestrator: Cobra ao CLI, loopback HTTP daemon, services, SQLite storage, lifecycle/reaper, runtime/workspace/agent/tracker adapters, terminal mux, and tests.
  • frontend/ — Electron + React supervisor wired to the daemon via the generated typed client. Treat it as a thin supervisor/UI surface; do not move daemon logic into it.
  • docs/ — current architecture/status notes. Start here before changing lifecycle, CLI, agents, storage, or daemon behavior.
  • test/ — external smoke/e2e assets, including the CLI fresh-install container check.
  • .github/workflows/ — CI definitions. Mirror these commands locally when possible.

Commands

From the repo root unless noted:

npm run lint                         # backend go test ./... + golangci-lint v2.12.2
npm run frontend:typecheck           # frontend TypeScript check
npm run sqlc                         # regenerate backend/internal/storage/sqlite/gen from queries/schema
npm run api                          # regenerate OpenAPI spec + frontend TS types (see API contract changes below)
npx @redwoodjs/agent-ci run --all    # local workflow validation; requires Docker socket

Backend-specific checks:

cd backend
go build ./...
go test ./...
go test -race ./...
go vet ./...
go run ./cmd/ao start

Frontend-specific checks:

cd frontend
npm run typecheck
npm run build

When showing or demoing frontend changes, run ao preview [url] from inside the session so the change renders in the desktop browser panel (the inspector rail's Browser tab); do not just describe it.

Where to look first

  • README.md — current run/config/test quickstart.
  • docs/README.md — docs index.
  • docs/architecture.md — backend mental model, package layout, lifecycle/session/service boundaries, and load-bearing rules.
  • docs/STATUS.md — what is shipped on main today and what is still in flight.
  • docs/cli/README.md — intended CLI shape: thin Cobra client over daemon HTTP, never direct storage/runtime access.
  • CLAUDE.md — compatibility pointer for Claude Code; it directs agents back to AGENTS.md.

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.
