path-types

Repository rules for choosing Rust types that represent operating-system paths, including file paths and path URIs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or migrating path-bearing types in app-server or exec-server protocols, shared dependencies, configuration, and tool-call arguments.
Why use it?
They help keep path handling consistent across protocol boundaries and local code while preserving compatibility with existing clients.

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

path-types 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Path Types

Apply this guidance when defining new types. Change existing code only when explicitly requested, and keep edits minimal and proportional. Treat these rules as the target state of an ongoing migration; if compliance is difficult, ask the user how to proceed.

  • In app-server protocol types, use LegacyAppPathString for backwards compatibility during the URI migration. At the protocol boundary, convert it to PathUri and use PathUri internally. For host-local logic, such as some config values, use AbsolutePathBuf or PathBuf instead.
  • In exec-server protocol types, use PathUri. Internally, use PathUri or AbsolutePathBuf as appropriate.
  • In dependencies shared by both servers, use PathUri or separate APIs that decouple their use cases.
  • Tool call arguments that the model is expected to generate should be deserialized as regular Strings with feature-specific path handling code.

Migration requirements

Keep these requirements in mind while migrating code to conform with the above guidelines:

  • existing app-server clients keep sending and receiving legacy native-path strings
  • app-server can retain and manipulate foreign-platform path URIs
  • exec-server APIs use file:// URIs
  • local-only operation must not change model-visible text
  • model tool arguments may contain raw relative or absolute paths for any OS
  • path reasoning must work before the related environment has come online
  • URIs cannot explicitly encode the executor’s path convention or operating system
  • users must not configure the environment’s OS/path convention explicitly
  • URIs should not yet be stored in rollouts, databases, or other persistent storage
  • path conversion errors: fail-closed for security-relevant paths, fail-open for UI/diagnostics
  • prefer small focused methods on PathUri or LegacyAppPathString over local helpers
  • represent PathUri values as URIs in diagnostics

It is OK if the conversion between paths and URIs is somewhat lossy as long as it will do the right thing for real users.

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.

path-types is a skill published in the GitHub repository extracurricular-ai/codex-rewind (44 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 507 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to path-types, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
