rules

A project-rules helper that automatically gives the coding agent instructions from supported files such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or .github instructions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to apply shared coding instructions, control which rule sources are enabled, and adjust rule or output size through environment settings.
Why use it?
It keeps project guidance in the agent’s context without requiring you to repeat it. It can also add rules that match files changed during edits.

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

rules 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.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to rules — 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.

What it actually says

Codex Rules

Codex Rules is automatic once the plugin is enabled. It injects:

  • static project instructions on SessionStart and UserPromptSubmit
  • matching file-specific rules after Codex apply_patch by default

Dynamic PostToolUse output is injected as additional context and is deduplicated per plugin data session. Codex Rules does not rewrite tool output.

Supported project sources:

  • AGENTS.md
  • CLAUDE.md
  • CONTEXT.md
  • .sisyphus/rules/**/*.md
  • .claude/rules/**/*.md
  • .cursor/rules/**/*.md
  • .github/instructions/**/*.md
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md

Supported environment knobs:

  • CODEX_RULES_DISABLED=1
  • CODEX_RULES_MODE=both|static|dynamic|off
  • CODEX_RULES_MAX_RULE_CHARS=<number>
  • CODEX_RULES_MAX_RESULT_CHARS=<number>
  • CODEX_RULES_ENABLED_SOURCES=AGENTS.md,.sisyphus/rules

The legacy PI_RULES_* variables are accepted as fallbacks for users migrating from pi-rules.

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.

rules is a skill published in the GitHub repository code-yeongyu/lazyclaudecode (18 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 283 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to rules, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
