foundry: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

foundry AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from V-Songbird/foundry. It costs 3,670 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file for the Foundry repository. It explains how to manage branches, shared work, the central roadmap, documentation, tests, and archived evidence across related projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as the operating rules when working in Foundry or coordinating changes across its plugin and platform checkouts.
Why use it?
It prevents contributors from creating conflicting roadmaps, overwriting other work, exposing temporary files, or losing historical acceptance records. A roadmap is the project’s tracked list of planned and completed work.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is V-Songbird/foundry's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on foundry 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 foundry 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

foundry 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 8d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Foundry

Foundry is the marketplace that lists the Foreman, Hush and Razor plugins for Claude Code and Codex. The plugins are Git submodules pinned by commit; this repository holds the two catalogs, the release procedure, the README contract the plugins share, the brand kit their images come from and the benchmark harness that measures them. Foreman and Razor also run on Antigravity, which has no catalog: its users install a plugin directory from a Foundry clone, which checks the plugin out at its pinned commit, and Antigravity reads that plugin's own root plugin.json and hooks.json. Nothing is installed here except one package in benchmarks/, the Agent SDK that live --sdk runs need, and the only build is the artwork under brand/. The plugins run their hooks and tests with Node.js 22 or later and Git; Foreman needs Git 2.25 or later.

Start here

  • For installation and the plugin table, read README.md.
  • Before changing a catalog or cutting a release, read the release procedure.
  • Before changing a plugin or flint, read its own AGENTS.md; each submodule is a separate repository with its own rules, tests and changelog.
  • Before editing or reviewing a plugin README, read the README contract.
  • Before changing any banner, icon, host card, Ember scene or evidence graphic, read the brand guide.
  • Before changing benchmarks/ or starting a run, read the benchmarks README; a live run starts paid model sessions.
  • To add, pick, correct or close roadmap work, use Foreman (/foreman:foreman). Foundry's ROADMAP.jsonl and .foreman/ are local and ignored; read the pitfall on old commits before any checkout.

Rules that outrank everything

  • A catalog entry never carries a version. The version lives in the plugin's manifests, and a release moves only source.sha and the gitlink.
  • A plugin listed in both catalogs pins the same main commit in both. Hush ships for Claude Code only and stays out of the Codex catalog. Antigravity needs no catalog entry; a plugin that ships for it carries a root plugin.json with the same version as its other manifests.
  • Plugin source changes happen in the plugin's repository on a topic branch, never as loose edits on the pinned checkout.

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.
