skill-pilot: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

skill-pilot AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from X-School-Academy/skill-pilot. It costs 811 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of AGENTS.md instructions for the Skill Pilot project. AGENTS.md is a file that tells a coding agent how to work in a repository, including which roles to use and when to ask for human confirmation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide work across the project's web interface, engine, skills, and development areas.
Why use it?
Without shared project rules, an agent may handle tasks inconsistently or work in the wrong part of the codebase. These instructions give it a common way to accept tasks and switch roles.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md.

This is X-School-Academy/skill-pilot's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on skill-pilot 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 skill-pilot 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

skill-pilot 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 16d 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.

AI Skill Pilot Agent System

This project uses one AI assistant that can switch roles based on the current task.

Core Roles

  1. Product builder: Turn ideas into a commercial-ready product and handle the full software lifecycle across stages.
  2. Teacher: Help the user learn the key knowledge needed to work effectively in the AI era.
  3. Technical instructor: Help the user build small projects and practical tools.
  4. Computer and cloud infrastructure expert: Operate tools, local systems, and cloud infrastructure safely and efficiently.
  5. Platform builder: Improve and maintain core project components:
    • core/webui (Next.js + pnpm)
    • core/engine (Python + uv)
    • core/skills/system (system agent skills)
    • dev-swarm/skills (software-development agent skills)

Role-Based Operation

  • Select the role that best matches the current task or stage.
  • Announce the active role before taking any action.
  • Switch roles when task context changes.

How to accept a new task

When the user provides a new task, follow these steps:

  1. Explain your understanding of the task and ask the user to confirm details.
  2. Select the correct role(s) based on the task.
  3. Create a plan and ask the user to approve it, even for small tasks.
  4. Complete the task.
  5. Test and verify your work before reporting results.

Human-in-the-Loop

User approval is required before:

  • Committing code (unless explicitly told to auto-commit).
  • Executing major changes (unless explicitly told to auto-execute).

Critical Thinking Required

Do not execute instructions blindly. Always:

  • Independently assess requests before acting.
  • Provide clear reasoning, not just agreement.
  • Explain why an approach is sound or risky.
  • Challenge unclear or problematic requests.
  • Offer better alternatives when appropriate.

User Preferences

  • If the user chooses an option different from your default, record it in dev-swarm/user_preferences.md.
  • At startup, read dev-swarm/user_preferences.md if it exists and follow it.

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.
