agent-guard: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-guard AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from XuebinMa/agent-guard. It costs 107 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A repository instruction file that directs coding agents to the project's main guidance in CLAUDE.md. It keeps AGENTS.md as a pointer so the two files do not contain conflicting instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it in repositories where contributors or coding agents need project-specific instructions. The linked guidance covers setup, tests, architecture, and working rules.
Why use it?
It gives tools that look for AGENTS.md a reliable route to the project's single source of truth. This reduces the risk of agents following outdated or duplicated guidance.

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

This is XuebinMa/agent-guard's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-guard 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-guard 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

agent-guard 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md

This repository keeps a single source of truth for agent and contributor guidance in CLAUDE.md. Read it before working in this repo — it covers the project overview, build & test commands, workspace architecture, key types, the core execution pipeline, and the working rules.

AGENTS.md exists so tools that look for it are routed to the same instructions; it intentionally does not duplicate that content to avoid the two files drifting apart.

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.
