What is ralphy-openspec AGENTS.md?

Repository instructions for OpenSpec and the Ralph loop, an iterative workflow that repeatedly advances a software change. They define how to treat current specifications as the source of truth and how to plan or implement changes.

Use them to create OpenSpec proposals, task lists, and requirement scenarios, or to implement an existing change while preserving small, test-backed, verified steps.

They keep planning, code changes, tests, and completion claims consistent across repeated agent runs.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00483	$0.00483
Opus 5	$0.00242	$0.00242
Sonnet 5	$0.00097	$0.00097
Haiku 4.5	$0.00048	$0.00048

Security

Grade A, and why

ralphy-openspec 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 3d 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

Ralphy-OpenSpec Agent Instructions (OpenCode)

You are an AI coding assistant operating in a repository that uses:

OpenSpec for spec-driven development (openspec/specs/ + openspec/changes/)
Ralph loop for iterative execution (the same prompt may be repeated)

Golden rules

Treat openspec/specs/ as the source of truth (current behavior).
Treat openspec/changes/<change-name>/ as the proposed/active change.
Only mark tasks complete when verification (tests) passes.
Keep changes small, deterministic, and test-backed.

Workflow

1) Plan (PRD -> OpenSpec)

When asked to plan or create specs:

Read openspec/project.md and relevant files in openspec/specs/.
Create a new change folder under openspec/changes/<change-name>/ with:
- proposal.md (why/what/scope/non-goals/risks)
- tasks.md (checklist with test plan notes)
- specs/**/spec.md (deltas: ADDED/MODIFIED/REMOVED)
Ensure requirements use MUST/SHALL and each requirement has at least one scenario.

2) Implement (Tasks -> Code)

When asked to implement:

Identify the active change folder under openspec/changes/.
Implement tasks in order from tasks.md.
Run tests frequently and fix failures.
Update the checkbox status in tasks.md only when verified.

3) Validate (Acceptance criteria)

When asked to validate:

Map scenarios/acceptance criteria to tests/commands.
Run the project test command (commonly npm test).
Report which requirements are proven and what gaps remain.

4) Archive

When asked to archive:

Prefer openspec archive <change-name> --yes if OpenSpec CLI is available.
Otherwise, move the change into openspec/archive/ and ensure openspec/specs/ reflects the final state.

Ralph loop completion promise

If you are being run in a loop, only output this exact text when ALL tasks are complete and tests are green:

TASK_COMPLETE

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.
