archcore-files

Rules for managing files in the .archcore/ directory, which stores documents in an Archcore knowledge base.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them whenever you create, change, delete, or link .archcore/ documents.
Why use it?
They prevent direct edits that could bypass the knowledge base's checks, templates, and file tracking.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 150 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

archcore-files 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 yesterday.

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

.archcore/ File Operations

You are working with files in the .archcore/ directory. These are managed documents in the Archcore knowledge base.

Do not use Write or Edit tools on .archcore/*.md files. Use the Archcore MCP tools instead:

  • To create: create_document(type, filename, ...)
  • To modify: update_document(path, ...)
  • To delete: remove_document(path)
  • To link: add_relation(source, target, type)

Direct file writes bypass validation, templates, and the sync manifest.

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.
