code-intel-platform: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/code-intel.md

code-intel-platform code-intel.md is an instructions file for Kiro from vohongtho/code-intel-platform. It costs 2,646 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of code-intel-platform copilot-instructions.md, MIT.

A code-navigation guide for code-intel, a tool that searches an indexed codebase and shows symbols and their relationships. It tells coding agents to use code-intel search, inspect, and impact instead of basic file and text-search commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing changes, fixing bugs, or reviewing code to search for symbols, inspect their context, and check the likely blast radius.
Why use it?
It helps agents find relevant code, understand callers and imports, and estimate the effect of a change before editing. This reduces blind edits and missed dependencies in a large repository.

Instructions file for Kiro

Written for Kiro: installed under .kiro/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is vohongtho/code-intel-platform's own configuration. It tells Kiro how to work on code-intel-platform 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 code-intel-platform configures →

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

code-intel-platform code-intel.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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to code-intel-platform copilot-instructions.md — 38 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Mandatory Rules — ALL Agents (Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Aider, Gemini, Kiro, Trae, Hermes, Factory, OpenCode, Pi, Antigravity, OpenClaw, and others)

These rules apply to every coding agent or AI assistant working in this repository.

Before Implementing Any Change

  1. Run code-intel search "<concept>" — find existing symbols related to the task.
  2. Run code-intel inspect <symbol> — understand callers, callees, and imports.
  3. Run code-intel impact <symbol> — check blast radius before touching anything.
  4. If impact shows ≥ 5 direct callers → warn the user: HIGH risk.

While Implementing / Fixing a Bug

  • NEVER open a file cold — always code-intel search first.
  • NEVER grep for symbols — use code-intel search instead.
  • NEVER rename symbols with find-and-replace — use code-intel inspect to find all usages first.
  • Use code-intel inspect <symbol> to understand a function's callers/callees before modifying it.
  • Use code-intel query "TRAVERSE CALLS FROM '<symbol>' DEPTH 3" to trace execution paths.

Before Committing / Code Review

  • Run code-intel impact <symbol> for every symbol you changed.
  • Run code-intel pr-impact --base main --head HEAD to see full PR blast radius.
  • Fail PR if HIGH risk symbols are changed without reviewer sign-off.

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.
