Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is zenml-io/kitaru-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on kitaru-skills 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 kitaru-skills 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

kitaru-skills 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 3d 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

Project structure

This repository distributes public Kitaru agent skills plus Claude Code plugin metadata. It is not a Python package.

  • skills/kitaru-investigation/SKILL.md is Kitaru's public front-door playbook, from setup and session evidence through reviewed behavior, evaluator selection, and replay handoff.
  • skills/kitaru-guided-tour/SKILL.md gives first-time users a value-first quickstart example tour with prepared observations, frontend verdicts, and one deterministic evaluator followed by an approved bounded replay experiment.
  • skills/kitaru-guided-tour/references/ contains the starter contract, tour method, friendly tutorial narration, and the bounded operations needed for that experience.
  • skills/kitaru-hosted-onboarding-tour/SKILL.md is the compact, resume-safe tour used by the controlled ZenML Pro hosted onboarding runner.
  • skills/kitaru-hosted-onboarding-tour/references/ contains its bounded state, operation, review, evaluator, and replay method.
  • skills/kitaru-investigation/references/ contains method, transport, public starter, and evaluator details loaded only when needed.
  • skills/kitaru-replay-experiment/SKILL.md guides one safe, bounded candidate comparison against an accepted cohort and exact evaluator set.
  • skills/kitaru-replay-experiment/references/ separates current Kitaru replay contracts from the comparison and interpretation method.
  • skills/kitaru-replay-experiment/agents/openai.yaml contains host-facing display metadata for the replay skill.
  • skills/kitaru-importer-builder/SKILL.md guides custom importer development.
  • skills/kitaru-importer-builder/references/ contains parser, normalization, validation, and recovery details loaded only when needed.
  • skills/kitaru-adapter-builder/SKILL.md selects a supported provider-backed adapter or guides project-local development for unsupported Python and TypeScript frameworks.
  • skills/kitaru-adapter-builder/references/ separates the shared method, Python and TypeScript SDK contracts, and validation and reporting rules.
  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json defines the Claude Code plugin.
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json defines its marketplace entry.
  • README.md is the public installation and usage guide.
  • CLAUDE.md contains Claude Code-specific contributor guidance.

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.
