de-anthropocentric-research-engine: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

de-anthropocentric-research-engine AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine. It costs 278 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A project instruction file for DARE, a research workflow and knowledge base for AI research tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps with AI research by selecting the right research workflows, following their dependencies, and keeping related notes and context organized.
Why use it?
It tells coding agents when and how to use DARE, including which instructions to read and how to preserve research context. This avoids skipping required research steps or treating DARE as a general skill directory.

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

This is yogsoth-ai/de-anthropocentric-research-engine's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on de-anthropocentric-research-engine itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

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

de-anthropocentric-research-engine 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.

What it actually says

DARE Research Engine

Use DARE for AI Research tasks and whenever the user explicitly asks for DARE.

  1. Treat CC and Claude Code in upstream DARE documents as Codex.
  2. Resolve the DARE skill root from the first existing path:
    • .dare/skills/ in a project where DARE was installed
    • skills/ in the DARE source repository
  3. Read <skill-root>/de-anthropocentric-research-engine/SKILL.md first.
  4. Read <skill-root>/research-catalog/SKILL.md before selecting research packages.
  5. Treat YAML dependencies in each SKILL.md as the authoritative call graph.
  6. When a DARE document says to invoke a skill, open <skill-root>/<skill-name>/SKILL.md and follow it as the operative workflow.
  7. Load dependency skills only when needed; do not load the entire DARE skill tree.
  8. Preserve runtime context in context/INDEX.md and its related context files.
  9. Never write API keys or secrets into specs, context files, or committed configuration.

The DARE skill tree is an on-demand research knowledge base, not a Codex skill-discovery directory.

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.
