metabot AGENTS.md

metabot AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from xvirobotics/metabot. It costs 649 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction guide for MetaBot Personal Edition, a workspace system connecting chat agents with memory, skills, teams, scheduling, and runtime tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to operate MetaBot through its CLI, search or retrieve memory, list skills and agents, communicate with agents, check teams, poll messages, and record dated project entries.
Why use it?
It gives contributors one documented way to use MetaBot and protects existing project instruction files from being overwritten.

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

metabot 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MetaBot Personal Edition Workspace

MetaBot connects chat-based agents with self-hosted Memory, Skills, Agent Bus, Agent Teams, T5T, scheduling, and runtime operations. Use metabot as the single CLI for these surfaces; legacy mm, mh, and mb workflows are retired.

Core CLI

metabot memory search "query"
metabot memory get <id|path>
metabot skills list
metabot agents list
metabot agents talk <agent> "message"
metabot inbox poll --loop
metabot teams status <team> --summary
metabot t5t push <project> <date> "entry"

Use the metabot Skill for command details and the metabot-team Skill for durable Team state. Personal Core and its web console default to http://127.0.0.1:9200; users may configure another Core with METABOT_CORE_URL.

AGENTS.md is the canonical project instruction file. Existing workspace AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files are user-owned and MetaBot install/update must not replace them.

Working Principles

  • Start from the user's goal and inspect the actual workspace or runtime before acting.
  • Carry authorized work through implementation and verification appropriate to its risk. Do not stop at a plan unless the user asked only for a plan.
  • Keep changes focused and preserve unrelated files, local modifications, user data, configuration, and user-selected integrations.
  • Choose the execution approach that best fits the task. Add coordination or extra process only when it materially helps the outcome.
  • Use the injected Current MetaBot Context and Team Context as the current chat, schedule, roster, and routing source. Query metabot teams when more durable state is needed.
  • Ask the user only when a missing decision, authority, credential, or unsafe action genuinely blocks progress.
  • Never expose secrets or authorization tokens. Avoid destructive actions unless they are explicitly authorized and necessary.
  • Before runtime or deployment work, verify the real target, current state, and rollback path. Do not assume host-specific paths, process names, or ports.
  • Search before creating shared resources, and keep user-facing updates concise and evidence-backed.

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.
