kaneo AGENTS.md

kaneo AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from usekaneo/kaneo. It costs 2,008 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository guide for Kaneo, a self-hosted project-management platform with a Hono API, React application, PostgreSQL database, and realtime updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing Kaneo's API, web app, database behavior, realtime events, authorization, or deployment support.
Why use it?
It keeps changes aligned with the project's boundaries: simple self-hosting, protected workspace data, authorization, performance, and support for different deployment layouts.

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

kaneo 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 4d 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.

Kaneo agent guide

Kaneo is a fast, deliberately simple, self-hosted project-management platform. The Hono API owns domain behavior and authorization, the React app consumes its typed client, PostgreSQL stores durable state, and events plus WebSockets keep clients current. Redis is optional and coordinates realtime delivery across multiple API instances.

This is an operating guide, not a README. These rules are good defaults; explicit developer and user instructions take precedence.

Principles

  • Simplicity is a product requirement. Build the smallest model that makes correct behavior obvious.
  • Features should solve a real problem without making routine work heavier.
  • Protect performance, especially on task-heavy boards and realtime views.
  • Keep self-hosting straightforward and single-instance deployments first-class. Do not make Redis or another managed service mandatory without an explicit product decision.
  • Support both bundled same-origin deployments and separately hosted API and web deployments.
  • Protect user data, workspace boundaries, and authorization checks.
  • Read the relevant implementation before changing it. Follow an established local pattern when it fits, but do not preserve accidental complexity merely because it exists.
  • Stay focused. Do not mix requested work with speculative features, broad refactors, or unrelated cleanup.

Architecture

  • apps/api — Hono API, Better Auth, controllers, database access, events, integrations, MCP HTTP routes, and WebSockets.
  • apps/web — React/Vite UI, TanStack Router and Query, fetchers, hooks, and realtime cache updates.
  • apps/docs — product and API documentation content; apps/site — public Next.js site and documentation host.
  • packages/libs — shared typed Hono client and URL helpers.
  • packages/permissions — canonical permission vocabulary and built-in roles.
  • packages/mcp — published stdio MCP package.
  • charts/kaneo — Helm deployment surface.
  • tests/api contains API unit tests; tests/api-integration contains PostgreSQL-backed integration tests.

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.
