agent-project

agent-project is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dotfiles. It costs 43 tokens per session (1,061 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for setting up shared project instructions and reusable skills for several coding agents. It keeps common rules in files such as AGENTS.md while storing each tool's own settings and agent files in its native location.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to bootstrap agent instructions, project skills, prompt files, tool-specific settings, and MCP configuration for Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Antigravity, and Copilot.
Why use it?
It prevents the same project rules from being copied inconsistently across tools and reduces confusion about where configuration belongs.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; reads ~/.codex paths.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is │ └── skills -> ../.agents/skills.

Good fit Use it to bootstrap agent instructions, project skills, prompt files, tool-specific settings, and MCP configuration for Codex, Claude, OpenCode, Antigravity, and Copilot.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

agent-project 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 1mo 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.

Set Up Agents on a Project

Create the portable instruction and skill layer once, then add only the tool-specific configuration the project needs.

Workflow

  1. Create the Shared Layer:
    mkdir -p .agents/skills .agents/prompts
    touch AGENTS.md
    
    Start AGENTS.md from the minimal project template, then put project-wide rules there, store reusable project skills in .agents/skills/<name>/SKILL.md, and keep prompt files in .agents/prompts/ (globally gitignored by default).
  2. Add Tool-Specific Files Only When Needed:
    • Antigravity: use .agents/settings.json for workspace settings and .agents/mcp_config.json for MCP. It respects .gitignore; do not invent an .antigravityignore.
    • Codex: use .codex/config.toml for trusted project overrides and MCP. Codex reads AGENTS.md and .agents/skills natively.
    • OpenCode: use opencode.json for settings and MCP. OpenCode reads AGENTS.md and .agents/skills natively.
    • Claude: create CLAUDE.md containing @AGENTS.md, link .claude/skills to ../.agents/skills, and use .mcp.json for project MCP servers.
    • Copilot: Copilot CLI reads AGENTS.md and .agents/skills natively. Use .github/copilot-instructions.md only for additional repository-wide Copilot instructions and .github/mcp.json or .mcp.json for MCP.
  3. Inspect Before Creating Links: Never replace an existing CLAUDE.md or .claude/skills path without reviewing and preserving its content.
  4. Keep Secrets Out: Add local credentials, generated agent state, and secret-bearing overrides to .gitignore. Commit only portable configuration.
  5. Validate Each Installed CLI: Start each supported CLI from the repository root and confirm that instructions, skills, and explicitly configured MCP servers load.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
