agent-handoff: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-handoff AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from xiaomaimuchanyiyiba/agent-handoff. It costs 234 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

An AGENTS.md instruction file for imap-mcp, a Rust server that lets Claude access email stored through IMAP, an email retrieval protocol. It documents the project context, commands, layout, error handling, and version-control conventions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps agents work on authentication, email and folder operations, sessions, attachment text extraction, error types, and integration tests while following the project's Rust conventions.
Why use it?
It gives an AI coding agent the rules and structure needed to change this particular email server safely. It also records the required build, test, formatting, and lint checks.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md; mentions Codex.

This is xiaomaimuchanyiyiba/agent-handoff's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-handoff 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 agent-handoff 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 C, and why

agent-handoff AGENTS.md scanned grade C 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 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

What it actually says

Project Context

Purpose

This project provides a skill for AI coding agents (Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Cursor) to facilitate seamless project handovers.

Structure

agent-handoff/
├── SKILL.md              # Universal skill for Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex

Conventions

  • The skill uses .handoff/ directory with timestamped files (YYYY-MM-DD.md) for handover artifacts
  • HANDOFF.md is a symlink pointing to the latest handoff entry
  • .handoff/ is gitignored by default
  • All platform-specific instructions go in README.md, not in SKILL.md
  • Keep it language-agnostic — no framework-specific examples
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.
