mem9: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mem9 AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from unvulcanised-watercress762/mem9. It costs 1,827 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A CLAUDE.md guide for mnemos, a shared online memory system for coding agents. The repository includes a Go web server, database-backed storage, agent integrations, a command-line tool, and a small website.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or verifying the mnemos server, its agent plugins, CLI, website, Kubernetes configuration, or integration tests.
Why use it?
It gives agents a map of the repository and the commands used to build, check, and test its different parts. This is useful when changes cross the server, plugins, command-line tool, or deployment files.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is unvulcanised-watercress762/mem9's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on mem9 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 mem9 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

mem9 AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- `curl` calls use explicit timeouts.

Global conventions

  • Architecture is strict handler -> service -> repository; plugins always call the HTTP API.
  • No ORM. Server SQL is raw database/sql with parameter placeholders only.
  • embed.New() and llm.New() may return nil; callers must branch correctly.
  • Vector and keyword search each fetch limit * 3 before RRF merge.
  • INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE is the expected upsert pattern.
  • Atomic version bump happens in SQL: SET version = version + 1.
  • X-Mnemo-Agent-Id is the per-agent identity header for memory requests.
  • Always use make targets for building and Docker image operations — never construct raw go build or docker build commands from scratch. Use make build-linux for the server binary and REGISTRY=<ecr> COMMIT=<tag> make docker for images.

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.
