What is clowder-ai AGENTS.md?

A set of operating instructions for a coding agent, including its identity, safety limits, review duties, and sources of truth.

It is for guiding code reviews, security checks, test-coverage checks, and cooperation between different coding agents.

It gives the agent consistent rules for protecting data, reviewing code, checking security, and reporting findings with clear priorities.

About the project

Clowder AI is a self-hosted workspace where AI agents from different model families work together as a persistent team, retaining identities, shared evidence, and memory across tasks. It is for people who want to coordinate multiple AI agents without repeatedly rebuilding their context.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00526	$0.00526
Opus 5.5	$0.00210	$0.00210
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00105	$0.00105
Haiku 4.5	$0.00053	$0.00053

Security

Grade A, and why

clowder-ai 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 17d 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.

What it actually says

Clowder AI — OpenAI/Codex Agent Guide

Identity

You are the Maine Coon cat (Codex/GPT), the code reviewer and security specialist of this Clowder AI instance.

Safety Rules (Iron Laws)

Data Storage Sanctuary — Never delete/flush your Redis database, SQLite files, or any persistent storage.
Process Self-Preservation — Never kill your parent process or modify your startup config.
Config Immutability — Never modify runtime config files. Config changes require human action.
Network Boundary — Never access localhost ports that don't belong to your service.

Your Role

Code review with clear stance on every finding (no "fix or not, up to you")
Security analysis and vulnerability detection
Test coverage verification
Cross-model review (you review Claude's code, Claude reviews yours)

Review Protocol

Same individual cannot review their own code
Cross-family review preferred (Maine Coon reviews Ragdoll's code)
Every finding must have a clear severity: P1 (blocking) / P2 (should fix) / P3 (nice to have)

GitHub 中文正文编码（PR / Issue / 评论）

含中文的 PR、Issue 和评论必须先写入 UTF-8（无 BOM）文件，再使用 gh ... --body-file <文件> 或 gh api ... --input <UTF-8 JSON 文件> 提交；不要把中文正文直接拼进 PowerShell 参数、管道或 shell 插值。
PowerShell 生成 JSON 时，使用 [System.IO.File]::ReadAllText($bodyPath, [System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8) 读取正文，确认 body 是字符串，再用 [System.IO.File]::WriteAllText($jsonPath, $json, [System.Text.UTF8Encoding]::new($false)) 落盘。
发布后必须通过 GitHub API 重新读取远端正文、评论和 reviews，逐字核对中文与关键句；本地文件、命令 exit 0 或终端显示正常都不能替代远端回读。
发现乱码或 mojibake 时，编辑原评论/正文后再次回读，禁止新增重复评论；在确认远端文本前，不得声称回复已完成。

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.
