searching-apple-notes: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

searching-apple-notes AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from yinanli1917-cloud/searching-apple-notes. It costs 473 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for an MCP server that searches, retrieves, and creates Apple Notes. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing or maintaining the Apple Notes integration, searching notes with full-text search, or adding note-creation behavior through AppleScript.
Why use it?
It explains the project's technology, file layout, search method, and safety rules so agents can work with Apple Notes without directly altering its database.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is yinanli1917-cloud/searching-apple-notes's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on searching-apple-notes 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 searching-apple-notes configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/yinanli/Documents/apple-notes-mcp/CLAUDE.md.

Reuse

Borrowing it

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

searching-apple-notes 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Codex Project Instructions

Migrated from Claude Code /Users/yinanli/Documents/apple-notes-mcp/CLAUDE.md on 2026-05-03. The source CLAUDE.md was left unchanged.

Codex should follow these instructions when working in this project. Claude-specific commands, hooks, and permission syntax should be interpreted as intent and adapted to Codex tools.

apple-notes-mcp

MCP server for searching, retrieving, and creating Apple Notes.

Tech Stack

  • Python 3 (MCP server)
  • AppleScript (Notes.app integration)
  • SQLite (Apple Notes database access)

Directory Structure

Path Purpose
scripts/ MCP server and utility scripts
archive/ Previous versions

Conventions

  • MCP tool responses must be JSON-serializable
  • Note search uses FTS (full-text search) on Apple Notes SQLite DB
  • Never modify Notes.app database directly — use AppleScript for writes

Active Codex Harness

The active harness contract is .codex/workflow.md, .codex/tasks/, .codex/spec/, .codex/agents/, and scripts/codex_harness.py. Older Claude-era or .agents/harness material is legacy evidence only unless a current .codex task explicitly references it.

Before substantial work, run python3 scripts/codex_harness.py context. Before completion, run python3 scripts/codex_harness.py health plus task-specific checks, or use python3 scripts/codex_harness.py finish-work.

Codex Harness

Codex does not receive Claude hook injections automatically. Treat .codex/workflow.md and scripts/codex_harness.py context as the native pull-based context layer.

Common commands:

python3 scripts/codex_harness.py context
python3 scripts/codex_harness.py health
python3 scripts/codex_harness.py task create "<title>"
python3 scripts/codex_harness.py task start <slug-or-dir>
python3 scripts/codex_harness.py task finish [slug-or-dir]
python3 scripts/codex_harness.py task archive <slug-or-dir>
Changes

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.
