xurl: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

xurl AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Xuanwo/xurl. It costs 1,598 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Project instructions for xurl, a command-line tool that reads and renders conversation threads from Codex, Claude, and OpenCode files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing xurl's command-line arguments, provider directories, thread rendering, warnings, or design documentation.
Why use it?
They clarify which part of the code owns URI parsing, provider lookup, file reading, and Markdown output, reducing changes in the wrong component.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents; reads ~/.codex paths.

This is Xuanwo/xurl's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on xurl 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 xurl 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

xurl 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 1mo 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.

Agent Guidelines

Workspace Responsibilities

  • xurl-core: all URI parsing, provider resolution, raw file reading, and markdown rendering lives here. It owns provider-specific parsers for Codex, Claude, and OpenCode plus the shared service layer (resolve_thread, render_thread_markdown, render_thread_head_markdown).
  • xurl-cli: thin CLI that parses xurl <uri> arguments with clap, wires up ProviderRoots::from_env_or_home, emits metadata warnings to stderr, and prints rendered markdown (render_thread_markdown).

CLI Parameter & Provider Behavior Matrix

  • The CLI accepts a single <uri> and an optional -I/--head flag for frontmatter-only output.
  • ProviderRoots::from_env_or_home sources the base directories using:
    • Codex: CODEX_HOME then ~/.codex
    • Claude: CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR then ~/.claude
    • OpenCode: XDG_DATA_HOME/opencode then ~/.local/share/opencode
  • render_thread_markdown converts provider payloads into a markdown thread view with frontmatter metadata plus user/assistant-focused content; warnings from resolved.metadata.warnings are emitted to stderr before the primary output.

Design Docs

  • Design documents live under docs/.
  • Before proposing, implementing, or revising URI behavior, query behavior, or other user-facing semantics, read the relevant design docs in docs/ first and align with them.
  • If implementation diverges from an existing design doc, update the design doc in the same change or explain clearly why the divergence is intentional.

Error Handling & Exit Contract

  • main maps any xurl_core::Result failure to a non-zero exit code (1) and prints error: <message> on stderr; successes return exit code 0.
  • Common failure cases include invalid URI syntax, missing provider roots, unresolved session IDs, unreadable files, empty files, and non-UTF-8 payloads (read_thread_raw explicitly guards against empty and non-UTF8 data).
  • Metadata warnings and diagnostics are printed on stderr but do not change the exit code, making it clear that only Err results trigger failure.

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.
