architecture

Architecture rules for Coddy, a Go command-line program and agent protocol server. They describe its layers and which parts of the program may depend on each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or moving Go packages, deciding where new functionality belongs, or working with the memory and HTTP build tags.
Why use it?
They help prevent tangled dependencies and keep shared code, configuration, tools, agent logic, and command-line wiring in predictable places. They also document optional build modes for memory and HTTP support.

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.

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

architecture 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 2d 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.

Architecture

Coddy is a Go CLI and ACP harness. Keep dependencies flowing inward: higher layers orchestrate lower ones; shared types stay shallow.

Rough layers (low to high)

  1. internal/version, internal/logger, small shared helpers - minimal inward imports.
  2. internal/config - configuration structs and loading.
  3. internal/session, internal/llm, internal/prompts, internal/bgtask - runtime state, model access, and the background task pool (internal/bgtask imports only internal/platform; nothing below it may import back).
  4. internal/tools, internal/permission, internal/skills - capabilities and policies.
  5. internal/agent - ReAct-style loop assembling the above.
  6. internal/acp - ACP protocol server on top of the agent and session manager.
  7. cmd/coddy - CLI entrypoints and wiring.

Optional build tags

  • memory - external/memory long-term memory copilot and HTTP session memory routes; //go:build memory. Recommended together with http for /coddy/sessions/.../memory/*. Default full binary in README and Docker includes memory.
  • external/httpserver - OpenAI-shaped HTTP API; //go:build http. Embedded SPA uses //go:build http && ui with external/ui. Keep handler registration and openapi.go in sync.
  • external/scheduler (daemon/, storage/, service/ schedservice, tools/ schedtools) - cron and related tools; scheduler tag.

Do not introduce import cycles. If a new package would cycle, split interfaces or move shared types down-layer.

Optional module tools (external/*/tools)

Optional domains that ship their own LLM-callable tools (not the main internal/tools registry) use internal/tooling.Tool: Definition (llm.ToolDefinition) plus Execute func(ctx context.Context, argsJSON string, env *tooling.Env) (string, error) in the same file, same pattern as external/scheduler/tools/job_get.go.

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.

architecture is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository coddy-project/coddy-agent (127 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 803 tokens to every session, about $0.0040 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
