zapo: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

zapo AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from vinikjkkj/zapo. It costs 12,890 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An AGENTS.md instruction file for the zapo project, describing its development rules, repository layout, and protocol-validation approach. A monorepo is a repository that contains multiple related projects or parts, such as web and mobile code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it as guidance when changing zapo, especially features involving wa-web, wa-mob, networking, cryptography, performance, or protocol tests.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents project-specific constraints, including where to check protocol behavior, how to handle performance and asynchronous work, and when to use real flows instead of only mocked tests.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is vinikjkkj/zapo's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on zapo 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 zapo configures →

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is │ ├── proto.ts # bridge to ../spec/proto (only ../ import allowed).

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to vinikjkkj/zapo. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

zapo 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 12d 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.

AGENTS.md – Development Guide for zapo

Living guide for implementing features in this repository. Keep this file aligned with the real codebase.


1. Non-Negotiable Principles

Principle Meaning
index-first Validate protocol behavior against wa-web/ (and wa-mob/ for mobile-specific flows) before implementation. Do not invent tags, attrs, namespaces, or flows.
performance-first Optimize for low CPU, low RAM, and low allocations. Use zero-copy patterns in hot paths.
async-first I/O and network paths must be async. Crypto follows the rule only where benchmarks justify it: X25519/Ed25519 and pbkdf2 stay async (libuv thread pool wins); hashes, AES, HMAC, HKDF are sync (the thread-pool hop costs more than the op). Public APIs should return Promise<T> when work is async.
no-overengineering Avoid abstraction layers without concrete gains. Keep code direct and easy to maintain.
real-flow-only Validate protocol features with real CLI/flow tests, not mock-only behavior.

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.
