openstart: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

openstart AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from vijayatechlabs/openstart. It costs 191 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for the Openstart codebase, stored in an AGENTS.md file. They tell coding agents to read the project's central framework guide, which defines documentation, SEO, onboarding, and operating rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on the Openstart repository to find the required guides, understand documentation locations, follow search-engine and answer-engine standards, and handle project onboarding or updates.
Why use it?
They give different coding agents one shared source of instructions. This reduces inconsistent work and prevents agents from duplicating or ignoring the project's established rules.

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

This is vijayatechlabs/openstart's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on openstart 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 openstart 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

openstart 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 2mo 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md

This project uses the VijayaTech Project Framework. All AI operating instructions are centralized in one file so every agent — Codex, Cursor, and any other tool that reads AGENTS.md — behaves consistently.

→ Read and follow .ai/framework/AGENT-GUIDE.md first.

It defines: which .ai/docs/ docs to read at session start, how to operate, where to write documentation (.ai/framework/DOC-RULES.md), the AEO/SEO standard (.ai/framework/aeo/AEO-FRAMEWORK.md), and how to onboard / adopt / update a project (.ai/framework/ONBOARD.md).

Do not duplicate instructions here — edit .ai/framework/AGENT-GUIDE.md so all agents stay in sync.

Changes

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.
