SwarmAI: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/swarmai-dev-rules.md

SwarmAI swarmai-dev-rules.md is an instructions file for Kiro from xg-gh-25/SwarmAI. It costs 1,672 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of project-specific development instructions for SwarmAI, including platform rules, naming conventions, build commands, tests, and checks required before pushing code. It also explains which repository rules take priority.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to follow the repository's build, test, evaluation, commit, and push procedures while developing SwarmAI.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe or invalid changes from being pushed by making the project's required checks and workflow explicit.

This is xg-gh-25/SwarmAI's own configuration. It tells Kiro how to work on SwarmAI 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 SwarmAI 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

SwarmAI swarmai-dev-rules.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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SwarmAI Development Rules

Platform rules, coding anti-patterns, and lifecycle invariants for this repo. Architecture, the push gate, build/test commands, and commit rules live in AGENTS.md (also always loaded) — they are not repeated here.

Repo Context (overrides global steering)

This is a PERSONAL GitHub project, NOT an Amazon Brazil/internal repo. The global amazon-builder/* steering (Brazil, CRUX, Coral, Taskei, "never push", internal production-safety) DOES NOT APPLY here. Workspace rules win on conflict.

Commit directly to main and git push origin main (no branches, no PRs) — but ONLY after the build/tests/eval gate in AGENTS.md "Before You Push" is green.

Platform Rules

  • Port 18321 is FIXED (no portpicker, no dynamic allocation). Dev uses 8000.
  • No import fcntl at module top level — use from utils.file_lock import flock_exclusive
  • No lsof in scripts — use nc -z 127.0.0.1 PORT (lsof hangs on macOS)
  • /shutdown returns 403 in daemon/hive mode — never kill background services via API
  • Channels (Slack) only run in daemon/hive mode — mode guard in main.py

API Naming Convention

  • Backend: snake_case (Python/Pydantic)
  • Frontend: camelCase (TypeScript)
  • ALWAYS update the toCamelCase() mapper in desktop/src/services/*.ts when adding fields. A payload with two delivery routes (SSE + HTTP) needs ONE shared mapper — a TypeScript cast is not a conversion.
  • Any field the frontend reads MUST exist on the Pydantic response model: extra='ignore' silently drops undeclared keys.

Before Modifying Code

  • Find the tests first: grep -rn "function_name(" backend/tests/ --include="*.py"
  • Test/build commands and timeouts: AGENTS.md "Before You Push".

Code Documentation Standards

ALL code files MUST have a module-level docstring/comment:

  • Python: Triple-quoted docstring. One-line summary + bulleted list of key public symbols.
  • TypeScript/React: /** */ block comment. File purpose + key exports.
  • Test files: What is tested, methodology, key properties/invariants.

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.
