vexa: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

vexa AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Vexa-ai/vexa. It costs 3,110 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

The main working agreement for coding agents contributing to Vexa, including how to research the project, claim work, and behave during a coding session. It also points to the project's architecture and delivery rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding project work through GitHub, reporting bugs, claiming contributions, following architecture and delivery rules, and working through the repository's contribution process.
Why use it?
It turns discoveries and planned work into a defined process, so agents know how issues enter the workflow and how changes are validated and shipped.

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

This is Vexa-ai/vexa's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on vexa 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 vexa configures →

About the project

Vexa is an open-source meeting transcription system whose bots join Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom calls and stream speaker-labeled transcripts through an API. It is for teams that want meeting transcription and downstream knowledge processing either through hosted services or by running the stack themselves. The catalogue entries provide agents and instructions for working with Vexa.

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

vexa 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 193 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AGENTS.md — the agent front door (in-repo)

Two constitutions govern everything here — read them on the docs site or in this tree:

This file is the actor contract: intake, claim, and how a session behaves in the checkout.

Researching Vexa? Start here

  • Found something (bug, gap, docs lie)? File a GitHub issue — every report enters state: incoming and waits for triage — three days is our target and we are not hitting it (measured 2026-08-20: 26 waiting, median 13 days). Findings are contributions.
  • Want to contribute? The whole roadmap comes back in one public GraphQL call:
gh api graphql -f query='
query { organization(login: "Vexa-ai") { projectV2(number: 2) {
  items(first: 100) { nodes {
    content {
      ... on Issue { number title url state milestone { title } labels(first: 10) { nodes { name } } }
      ... on DraftIssue { title body }
    }
    fieldValues(first: 20) { nodes {
      ... on ProjectV2ItemFieldSingleSelectValue {
        field { ... on ProjectV2SingleSelectField { name } } name }
    } }
  } }
} } }'

Four axes per item: Lane — the business value, named by who feels it (Google Meet · MS Teams · Zoom · API integrators · Transcription · Recordings · Webhooks & billing · First run · Production ops · Feature shelf) — match it to what your contributor actually uses. Human bar — what validation costs in human terms (Desk check · Operator run · Solo meeting · Small group · Crowd 5+ · In-the-loop UX). Setup — the infrastructure floor (None · Lite · Compose · k8s/helm). Milestone — the version it gates (currently v0.12.x).

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.
