velobase-harness: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

velobase-harness AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from velobase/velobase-harness. It costs 1,487 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for AI coding agents, including rules for routing tasks, reading the right design and integration documents, and completing required checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when building products, adding modules, changing tests, handling authentication or payments, editing email features, and finishing development checks.
Why use it?
They prevent an agent from editing sensitive parts of the project without first following the relevant guidance.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is velobase/velobase-harness's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on velobase-harness 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 velobase-harness 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

velobase-harness 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.

AI Agent Guide

This file is the universal entry point for AI coding tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and generic agent runners.

Read this file first. Then follow the task and integration routers below before editing code.

Task Router

IF the user asks to build a new product from scratch:

  • MUST read docs/en/ai/design.md.
  • MUST complete domain design before writing product code.

IF you are about to create a new business module under src/modules/:

  • MUST read docs/en/ai/new-module.md first.

IF you are about to create or modify tests (*.test.ts, *.spec.ts, or e2e/*):

  • MUST read docs/en/ai/testing.md first.

After development is complete:

  • MUST run the checks in docs/en/ai/completion-checklist.md.
  • MUST tell the user which checks were run and which were skipped.

Integration Router

IF you touch authentication or login:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/auth/README.md.

IF you touch billing, orders, payments, subscriptions, products, credits, or promo codes:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/payment/README.md.

IF you touch email delivery or email templates:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/email/README.md.

IF you touch database, Prisma, migrations, Redis, or env-backed persistence:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/database/README.md.

IF you touch file upload, object storage, CDN URLs, or asset access:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/storage/README.md.

IF you touch analytics, feature flags, or product events:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/analytics/README.md.

IF you touch ad attribution or conversion upload:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/ads/README.md.

IF you touch queues, workers, processors, or scheduled jobs:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/queue/README.md.

IF you touch anti-abuse, captcha, rate limiting, IP, country, or security boundaries:

  • Read docs/en/integrations/security/README.md and relevant docs/en/features/*/README.md.

Core Rules

General

  • For cross-platform work, read docs/en/architecture/multiplatform.md. New host composition belongs in apps/*; process launchers in services/*; neutral schemas/clients in packages/*.
  • Desktop and Mobile must never import legacy src or Web/server packages. Platform environment configuration uses its own validated adapter, never src/env.js.

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.
