carboncode AGENTS.md

A project guide for AI coding agents working on Carbon Code, a Chinese-first developer command-line tool built with DeepSeek-Reasonix. It describes the project’s current state, design reference, and intended workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when contributing to Carbon Code, especially when planning its CLI, implementing repository-aware editing, adding permission checks, or running validation.
Why use it?
It gives agents the context needed to work safely in an early-stage codebase and follow the planned flow for reading repositories, editing files, requesting permission, and validating changes.

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

carboncode 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 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.

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.

Project Context

Carbon Code is a new terminal coding agent project in Yapie0/carboncode. The goal is to build a Chinese-first, DeepSeek-powered personal developer CLI similar to Codex.

The repository is intentionally early. The main design reference is:

  • docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-18-carboncode-cli-design.md

Current Status

  • Local git repo is initialized on main.
  • Remote is [email protected]:Yapie0/carboncode.git.
  • Git identity for this repo:
  • Initial design doc commit exists locally:
    • 403a731 Add Carbon Code CLI design
  • origin/main may not exist until the first push.
  • Current implementation direction:
    • 导入 Reasonix 主体,然后做 Carbon Code 产品化。

Product Direction

Build a personal developer CLI for v1.

The intended user flow:

npm install -g @carboncode/cli
cd path/to/project
carboncode

The CLI should read the repository, plan work, edit files, request permission before shell commands, run validation when approved, and show diffs and a concise outcome summary.

Chosen Base

Use DeepSeek-Reasonix as the preferred implementation base because it is TypeScript/Node, DeepSeek-native, npm-friendly, and already contains useful agent primitives.

DeepSeek-TUI and Deep Code are references for UX and feature ideas, but they are not the preferred v1 base.

Do not start the agent engine from scratch unless the user explicitly changes this decision.

Naming Decisions

  • Product name: Carbon Code
  • npm package: @carboncode/cli
  • Main command: carboncode
  • Short command: ccode
  • Optional alias: carbon

Do not install cc by default. It commonly points to the system C compiler and may break native builds if shadowed.

MVP Scope

Include:

  • DeepSeek API configuration.
  • DeepSeek V4 Pro / Flash model profiles, after verifying the current official model IDs.
  • Interactive terminal session.
  • Repository search and file reading.
  • Safe file editing with visible diffs.
  • Shell command approval.
  • Test/build command execution when approved.
  • Session resume.
  • Project rules through AGENTS.md or CARBON.md.
  • Chinese default prompts, errors, and command explanations.
  • Basic token/cost visibility.
  • MIT license compliance for upstream code.

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.

carboncode AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Yapie0/carboncode (195 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,060 tokens to every session, about $0.0053 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
