tilawa: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

tilawa AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from yazinsai/tilawa. It costs 1,849 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Tilawa, an offline Quran verse-recognition software development kit. It accepts 16 kHz audio and identifies the matching surah and verse on the device, without sending audio to a server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing the TypeScript SDK, browser demo, audio recognition pipeline, verse matching, streaming tracking, or related tests.
Why use it?
They explain which code is shipped, how recognition works, and how research code relates to the SDK, reducing mistakes when changing the project.

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

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

tilawa 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.

Tilawa

Offline Quran verse recognition — give it 16kHz audio, get surah:ayah. Fully on-device (web / node / React Native).

This repo ships two things:

  • @tilawa/core (packages/core/) — the SDK. Pure TypeScript, zero native deps. Default engine: streaming Zipformer2-CTC over tajweed phonemes (src/recitation/). Alternate engine: FastConformer text CTC. The app dev passes in their onnxruntime build; the SDK never imports it.
  • Web demo (web/) — live browser recitation demo that consumes @tilawa/core as its regression guard.

The Python research/training/benchmark harness lives under lab/ and has its own lab/AGENTS.md. Model weights are proven out there, then their logic graduates into the SDK.

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.
