formax: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

formax AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from yusifeng/formax. It costs 3,468 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for the Formax coding project. They describe where major parts of the TypeScript code live, how the project is organized, how to build and test it, and the expected coding style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Formax's CLI, terminal UI, runtime setup, tools, streaming code, subagents, tests, or related project structure.
Why use it?
They give contributors a reliable starting point so they can find the right files and follow the project's established development rules.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

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

formax 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.

Repository Guidelines

AGENTS Scope

  • Keep high-frequency operational guidance here (review workflow/profile, commonly used commands/scripts, commit workflow, and day-to-day guardrails).
  • Keep canonical product/runtime semantics in docs/contracts/* and related canonical docs.
  • Keep code navigation in CODEMAP.md ("where to change what"), with AGENTS linking to it instead of duplicating path-level maps.

Project Structure & Module Organization

  • packages/core/src/ contains TypeScript source.
    • entrypoints/ CLI/runtime entrypoints (for example cli.tsx).
    • runtime/cli/ argument parsing + command dispatch for the CLI wrapper.
    • runtime/bootstrap/ REPL bootstrap + runtime assembly wiring.
    • core/ productized app core (config resolution, setup flows, boundaries checks).
    • tui/ Ink “wizard” UIs (first-run setup, selectors, forms).
    • adapters/ filesystem + setup adapters (config files, setup persistence).
    • screens/ Ink screens; components/ reusable UI.
    • tools/ tool registry, modules, handlers, presenters, runtime managers.
    • streaming/ Anthropic streaming client and parsers.
    • features/subagents/ registry/runner for sub-agent tools.
    • prompts/, config/, services/, shared/utils/ supporting code.
  • packages/ contains companion workspaces. Package-local implementation details belong to each package AGENTS.md.
  • Tests live next to source as *.test.ts/*.test.tsx.
  • docs/ holds architecture notes and guides; plans/ captures refactor plans.
  • proxy/ contains proxy/logger scripts plus traffic/log artifacts used for parity/reference during development.
  • CODEMAP.md is the “where to change what” index (entrypoints, main loop, tools, plan mode, sub-tasks).

Build, Test, and Development Commands

  • bun install installs dependencies.
  • bun run dev runs the CLI via tsx (entry: packages/core/src/entrypoints/cli.tsx).
  • bun run app-server:bridge -- --host 127.0.0.1 --port 3777 runs the app-server WebSocket bridge for web client development.
  • bun run build bundles the CLI to dist/cli.js (requires Bun).
  • bun run type-check runs TypeScript checks + boundary checks (core + ui).
  • bun run check:root-script-governance enforces root package.json script governance (orchestration-only, no feature alias uplift).
  • bun run ui:boundaries runs UI boundary checks (guards packages/core/src/tui/, packages/core/src/screens/, packages/core/src/components/ from importing forbidden layers).
  • bun run test runs vitest run; bun run test:watch runs Vitest watch.
  • Single test: bun run test -- packages/core/src/tools/registry.test.ts.
  • Package-specific commands (web/desktop/shared/semantics) live in each package AGENTS.md.

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.
