agent-skills: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

agent-skills AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from zephexMCP/agent-skills. It costs 488 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for Zephex, a tool service that helps an agent understand and work with a codebase. It includes project context, code search, architecture explanations, package checks, tests, security checks, and project memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting work in a new repository, locating code for a feature or fix, understanding architecture, checking packages for risks, running tests, auditing website security headers, or saving project facts.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a defined way to inspect an unfamiliar repository, trace how its parts connect, check dependencies, and verify changes.

Instructions file for CodexOpenCode

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

This is zephexMCP/agent-skills's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on agent-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 agent-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 C, and why

agent-skills AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Zephex

Auto-loaded session gate for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Codex, and similar agents.

Zephex MCP at https://zephex.dev/mcp — ten tools for the user's codebase (not training data).

Tools

Tool One line
get_project_context Stack, scripts, auth, monorepo (topic slices)
find_code BM25 + ripgrep search
read_code AST symbol / file / outline
explain_architecture Wiring map (entry, auth, integrations)
check_package Registry safety + upgrade/CVE tasks
check_test Test Pulse — run suite + failure health
audit_headers Live HTTPS URL security audit
project_memory Remember / recall project facts
keep_thinking Multi-step reasoning with loop detection
Zephex_dev_info Expert playbooks (not their private repo)

Workflow

Pass absolute path (or github:owner/repo) on every repo tool. Prefer MCP when connected. Call check_package before install suggestions. If they named Zephex, call a tool (or CLI command) before answering about their code.

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.
