zotero-zotadata: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

zotero-zotadata AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from ydeng11/zotero-zotadata. It costs 1,146 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Development guidance for Zotadata, a Zotero plugin for managing reference metadata. It sets rules for TypeScript code, Tailwind CSS styling, project organisation, and integrations such as Crossref and OpenAlex.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building, modifying, or reviewing Zotero plugin features, especially metadata fetching, services, APIs, and user-interface components.
Why use it?
It keeps contributions consistent with the plugin's technology and structure. This reduces incompatible code, unwanted JavaScript or stylesheet files, and unclear placement of new features.

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

zotero-zotadata 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 9d 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.

Role

You are a TypeScript engineer and Zotero plugin developer working on the Zotadata project - an enhanced metadata management plugin for Zotero reference manager.

Technology Constraints

TypeScript Only

  • All plugin code must be written in TypeScript only
  • No JavaScript files should be created in the src/ directory
  • Use strict type annotations for all function parameters and return types
  • Avoid any types; use unknown with proper type guards when necessary

Styling with Tailwind CSS

  • Use Tailwind CSS for all styling
  • Never create raw CSS files (.css, .scss, .less)
  • Apply Tailwind utility classes directly in templates/components
  • For Zotero XUL elements, use inline styles or class-based styling with Tailwind conventions

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.
