mx cpp.instructions.md

Project-specific rules for maintaining webern/mx, a C++ library that connects programs to MusicXML, a standard format for written music.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing C++ files in webern/mx, especially when adding helpers, constants, comments, or formatting-sensitive changes.
Why use it?
It helps changes fit the project's build, formatting, source-code, and unity-build requirements.

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 cpp.instructions.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 2d 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

Repo-wide C++ rules (see AGENTS.md):

  • No new anonymous namespaces (namespace { }) -- they break unity builds. File-local helpers get named functions (tokenIsNameChar); file-local constants get a per-type prefix (kYesNoWire). Existing anonymous namespaces are being retired as touched; do not demand drive-by fixes.
  • Formatting is enforced by clang-format (make fmt / make fmt-check); do not comment on layout the formatter controls.
  • Keep source ASCII.
  • Comments should state constraints and effects hard to ascertain from the code.
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.
