mx: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

mx AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from webern/mx. It costs 2,631 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for mx, a C++ library that reads and writes MusicXML, the standard file format for digital sheet music. They describe the project layout, build commands, tests, and development rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing mx code, running its core round-trip test, formatting files, or navigating its MusicXML data and public interfaces.
Why use it?
They help a coding agent work in the right folders and use the repository's required checks without guessing.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

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

mx 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.

mx

@./README.md

mx is a MusicXML C++ library. The product surface is mx::api, a simplified and narrowed interface of MusicXML backed by the strongly-typed mx::core model.

Quickstart: make core-roundtrip-test (fast corert gate) - make fmt (format) - make help (all targets). Everything runs in the mx-sdk Docker image unless MX_RUNNING_IN_DOCKER=1.

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.
