nlpm AGENTS.md

An AGENTS.md file is a project guide for AI coding assistants working on NLPM, a tool that scores, checks, fixes, and tests natural-language programming instructions. It lists the project's commands and architecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for guiding work on NLPM commands, artifact discovery, quality scoring, consistency checks, automatic fixes, trend tracking, initialization, and security scans.
Why use it?
It tells the assistant how the project's commands are organized and which agents handle scanning, scoring, checking, fixing, and testing.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

nlpm AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Project Instructions

nlpm

nlpm

Natural-Language Programming Manager — multi-tool (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity) NL artifact scoring, checking, fixing, and testing. Delivered as a Claude Code plugin; the scoring rubric covers all three ecosystems via tier-aware overlays (see analysis/multi-tool-design-2026-05.md).

Architecture

Commands orchestrate agents. Agents use skills as reference knowledge. Each command does one thing -- no flags (except --changed on score).

Commands

  • commands/ls.md -- /nlpm:ls -- discover NL artifacts (dispatches scanner)
  • commands/score.md -- /nlpm:score -- 100-point quality scoring (dispatches scorer + vague-scanner in parallel)
  • commands/check.md -- /nlpm:check -- cross-artifact consistency (dispatches checker)
  • commands/fix.md -- /nlpm:fix -- auto-fix mechanical findings (dispatches scorer)
  • commands/trend.md -- /nlpm:trend -- track score history over time (dispatches scorer + vague-scanner)
  • commands/test.md -- /nlpm:test -- run NL-TDD specs (dispatches tester)
  • commands/init.md -- /nlpm:init -- init project
  • commands/security-scan.md -- /nlpm:security-scan -- scan plugin for security risks in executable artifacts
  • commands/vocab-init.md -- /nlpm:vocab-init -- init a vocabulary skill for any project (runs extractor, seeds canonical noun/verb tables, writes R51 opt-in stub). Adopter-facing entry point for vocabulary discipline.
  • commands/vocab-drift.md -- /nlpm:vocab-drift -- registry-free vocabulary drift scan (dispatches vocab-drift-scanner). Advisory only; no penalty. Use before/alongside R51.
  • commands/report.md -- /nlpm:report -- self-contained HTML report (per-file scores, trend, cross-artifact graph, vocabulary noun-verb map via AntV G6, drift candidates, findings). Output: .claude/nlpm-reports/index.html. file://-openable, no server.
  • commands/spec-sync.md -- /nlpm:spec-sync -- sync the tool overlays (conventions-claude/codex/antigravity) with upstream official specs (dispatches spec-researcher per tool in parallel; applies corrections, propagates for self-consistency, verifies via bin/nlpm-check). Never commits/pushes.
  • commands/shared/discover.md -- artifact discovery patterns (not user-invocable)
  • commands/shared/classify.md -- artifact type classification (not user-invocable)
  • commands/shared/append-history.md -- snapshot persistence to .claude/nlpm-history.json with scope marker (not user-invocable). Used by /nlpm:init, /nlpm:score, /nlpm:trend so trend data accumulates without manual upkeep.

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.

nlpm AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository xiaolai/nlpm (133 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed ISC. It adds 7,846 tokens to every session, about $0.0392 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
