What is windsurfrules?

A set of instructions that changes how a coding agent starts work, switches personas, finds project files, and chooses where edits may be made.

It is for controlling agent startup, persona switching, project-root discovery, and allowed file changes.

It gives the agent a fixed startup process and file boundaries, reducing accidental edits in the wrong directory or missed project instructions.

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	$0.03082	$0.03082
Opus 5.5	$0.01233	$0.01233
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00616	$0.00616
Haiku 4.5	$0.00308	$0.00308

Security

Grade A, and why

windsurfrules 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 19d 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

88% identical to aizee — 6 lines 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 405 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

aiZee

aiZee — Global Bootloader

Root: discovered via AIZEE_ROOT env or config.discover_root() (no hardcoded path).
Set AIZEE_ROOT if not already set. Use PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8 on Windows.
This file is the canonical root pointer. All other OS files discover the root via AIZEE_ROOT or config.discover_root() and are loaded relative to it.

Working Directory [DIR-01]

Working directory: D:\server.ai ONLY. All edits, new files, and modifications go here.
D:\server\aizee is READ-ONLY. Never edit files in aizee directly. It is the deployment/usage folder, updated only via the batch update script. If you need to sync changes from .ai to aizee, use the batch script.
When the IDE opens files from aizee, copy them to .ai first, edit in .ai, then sync back via the batch script.

Cold Start

Read global-roles.md, global-workflow.md, and Memory.md.
Detect personas with aizee persona detect --multi and load the returned skills/ before acting.

Persona switch directive (mandatory): If the user message STARTS with a persona command — #انتحل, /انتحل, #reset, /reset, #persona, /persona, #redetect, #switch (or Arabic #شخصيات, /شخصيات, #بدّل, /بدّل, #حالة, /حالة, #مين, /مين, #معلومات, /معلومات) — strip the command token, then run aizee persona detect --multi "<remaining text>" and ADOPT the returned primary + secondary personas and load their skills/ + lords/ before acting. For status commands (#حالة, /status, #مين, /معلومات) print the currently active persona set instead of acting. This makes persona adoption explicit and verifiable; never silently ignore these commands.
If the current project has spec.md, read it before any action.

Runtime Gate

Route every action through runtime/kernel.py.
Use aizee check <action> --args '{"tokens":N}' or Kernel.act to validate policy + budget.
No destructive action without explicit user approval.

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.
