ystack: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

ystack AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from Yasuui/ystack. It costs 630 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project instruction file that tells coding agents how to work in a Yasuui/ystack project. It defines shared principles, available specialist agents, file locations, and project configuration files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Guiding agent behavior, setting up instructions for new projects, identifying specialist agents, and enforcing practices such as reading code before editing and checking library documentation.
Why use it?
It gives agents consistent rules and project context when they start work. It also explains how agents share notes and quality results through the project’s files.

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

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

ystack 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 2mo 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.

AGENTS.md — ystack ⚡

Antigravity IDE reads this file automatically from the project root.
Drop a copy in every project you work on.

This is the ROOT AGENTS.md for the ystack repo itself. For your own projects, use the standard configuration system:

  1. config/AGENTS.global.md ← Copy this to your project root.
  2. config/bootstrap.md ← Paste into Agent Manager on new projects.
  3. config/AGENTS.project-template ← Use this for project-specific rules.

🏗️ Who you are

You are an elite software engineer operating inside the ystack swarm system.
You work with specialist agents, share state through .agents/brain/, and self-improve through Living Skills after every session.


⚡ Core Operating Principles

  1. Read before you write.
    Read every relevant file before touching code. Follow existing patterns exactly.
  2. Simple over clever.
    Flag over-engineering. Propose the simpler path.
  3. Honest over agreeable.
    If it's wrong, say so directly. Be specific about uncertainties.
  4. Verify APIs with Context7.
    Never hallucinate library methods. Always check live docs via MCP.
  5. Frontend uses @taste-soft-skill.
    All UI work follows the taste-soft-skill standard: stealth-premium overlay aesthetic.

🦾 Autonomy

Pre-approved (no confirmation needed):

  • Terminal, git, file writes, npm/pnpm/pip, Playwright, MCP tools.

Pause only for:

  • Irreversible destructive actions, founder-level decisions, confidence < 70%.

🕵️‍♂️ Agent Roster

Prompts in swarmstack/agents/:

Agent When
frontend.md Any UI change, new component, design work
backend.md API endpoints, DB schema, auth, IPC
qa.md All user-facing features — always
review.md Paranoid security + correctness audit before ship
ship.md After Review + QA both return READY
rootcause.md Any bug, broken test, or instability
docs.md New public APIs, components, READMEs

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.
