This is alex-alecu/garden-desk's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on garden-desk itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything garden-desk configures →

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

garden-desk-verify-change 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 8d 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

Verify A Garden Desk Change

Top priority: run the smallest complete command set that proves the changed behavior. A general instruction to run a full command does not mean the largest repository gate.

  1. Inspect the complete diff and changed-file list, including unrelated pre-existing changes.
  2. For documentation or instructions only, inspect links and command names and run git diff --check. Run no product tests.
  3. For a focused source change, run pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck, and the one focused test required by the Test Rule, if any. For a platform boundary, use pnpm test:platform:gate. For an M2 native boundary, use pnpm test:native:m2.
  4. Run pnpm verify only for a native helper, build script, or packaged runtime. Do not duplicate commands that it includes. Leave the full pnpm test suite to CI unless the owner explicitly requests a local run.
  5. Run a real model, physical microVM, golden task, or milestone gate only as a last resort and only with explicit owner approval under AGENTS.md. A retry needs new approval.
  6. Record exact commands and outcomes. Never report a skipped, unavailable, or unapproved check as a pass.

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.
