costrict: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

costrict AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from zgsm-ai/costrict. It costs 127 tokens per session, scanned A, a copy of Roo-Code AGENTS.md, Apache-2.0.

Repository-specific instructions for coding agents working on a code project. They explain how a settings screen should keep user edits separate until the user saves them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing the settings view or other code in this repository. It helps the agent follow the project’s expected behavior and structure.
Why use it?
They help prevent race conditions, where edits can conflict with live application data. They also give the agent rules that apply only to this repository.

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

costrict 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 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.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to Roo-Code AGENTS.md — 1 line differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md

This file provides guidance to agents when working with code in this repository.

  • Settings View Pattern: When working on SettingsView, inputs must bind to the local cachedState, NOT the live useExtensionState(). The cachedState acts as a buffer for user edits, isolating them from the ContextProxy source-of-truth until the user explicitly clicks "Save". Wiring inputs directly to the live state causes race conditions.
  • Commit messages must be written in English and follow Conventional Commits (type(scope): summary). Never use Chinese in commit messages, even for local-only commits.
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.
