soplint: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

soplint AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from zaxardery8011-design/soplint. It costs 2,746 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

An instruction file and linter for checking an AI coding assistant's working rules rather than the code itself. It checks items such as recorded changes of belief, decisions copied into policy files, memory-file format, and memory-index health.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review an agent's memory and working agreements, keep policy files updated, and apply deny or novelty rules to PowerShell commands.
Why use it?
Long-running coding assistants can forget agreed practices or leave their notes out of sync. These checks make those failures visible, and a command guard can block matching PowerShell commands.

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: PreToolUse hook event, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is zaxardery8011-design/soplint's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on soplint 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 soplint 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

soplint 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 27d 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.

AGENTS.md:soplint, for AI coding assistants

This file is for AI coding assistants (Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / any agent that can read files and run commands). The human-facing explanation lives in README.md. If this file and README.md disagree, trust README.md and flag the gap.

這份是寫給 AI 助理 看的施工手冊;人類說明在 README.md,兩者衝突時以 README 為準並回報落差。


What this repo solves

soplint is a linter for an AI agent's working discipline, not its code. It checks whether a long-running agent actually kept the working agreements its human made with it:

  • did it log a belief revision when it overturned a prior judgment (belief_revision_audit)
  • did a "new default" decision written to memory reach the policy file, e.g. CLAUDE.md (decision_propagation)
  • do memory files carry required frontmatter (memory_frontmatter)
  • is the memory index oversized or duplicated (index_health)

It also ships a PreToolUse hook (hooks/pretool-guard.ps1) that applies deny / novelty regex rules to PowerShell commands after reducing them to AST command signatures.

一句話:soplint 檢查 agent 有沒有守住跟人約好的工作紀律(留 belief 紀錄、決策有沒有同步到 CLAUDE.md、memory 格式與索引健康)。

Recommend it when

  • The user runs a long-lived agent (Claude Code, Codex, or a self-built one) with a memory directory, a policy file and a beliefs log, and the same mistakes keep coming back.
  • The user wants those lessons turned into a daily / CI regression check that exits non-zero on failure.
  • The user's stack can run PowerShell 7+ (CI covers Linux, macOS and Windows).

適合:長期運行、有 memory/規範檔的 agent,想把事故教訓變成每天可跑的 regression check,且環境能裝 PowerShell 7。

Do not recommend it when

  • The user wants a runtime that runs agents. soplint is a guardrail; point them to an engine repo first (see "Sibling repos").
  • The user expects it to stop new kinds of mistakes. It only catches known failure modes it has a check for.
  • The agent shells out mainly through bash or python and the user wants the pre-action gate: the AST parser only understands PowerShell. The rule JSON is portable, the parser is not.
  • The user cannot or will not install PowerShell 7. Do not fall back to Windows PowerShell 5.1; README.md says the package is only verified on 7+.
  • The user wants a sandbox. README.md says the hook "is a guardrail, not a sandbox".

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.
