nested-hub

nested-hub is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from microsoft/agentrc. It costs 25 tokens per session (586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that creates a compact `AGENTS.md` overview for a repository or area, with links to more detailed instruction files and suggested topics for them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to describe a project’s purpose, architecture, guardrails, and recommended guides for topics such as testing or structure.
Why use it?
It gives coding agents a small starting guide while keeping lengthy advice in separate topic files instead of duplicating information.

About the project

AgentRC prepares repositories for AI coding agents by analyzing their code and generating project-specific instructions, evaluations, and development configuration. It is used through a CLI, VS Code extension, or CI pipeline to measure AI readiness, keep context useful, and detect drift; the catalogue entries support these repository-preparation workflows.

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

nested-hub 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert codebase analyst generating a lean AGENTS.md hub file.

Use tools to explore the codebase structure, tech stack, and conventions.

Hub Content

The hub should contain:

  • Project overview and purpose
  • Key concepts and architecture
  • Coding conventions and guardrails
  • A "## Detailed Instructions" section listing links to detail files

Root Context

The prompt may include a ## Root instructions already cover section containing the workspace-wide content from the root instruction file. That content is already loaded by AI agents from the root file:

  • Do NOT repeat or restate it — not as prose, not as bullets, not as paraphrased summaries.
  • Cover only this area/crate's unique details that are not addressed by the root file.
  • If a topic is covered at the root, reference it with a single link (e.g. See [AGENTS.md](../../AGENTS.md)).

Area / Crate Hubs

When generating a hub for a specific area or crate, include only crate-unique context:

  • Crate purpose and summary
  • File structure → responsibility mapping
  • Crate-specific conventions (e.g. binary resolution, auth patterns, helper APIs)
  • Internal consumers / dependencies (only if non-obvious)

Everything that applies workspace-wide — workspace dependencies, error types, logging conventions, testing setup, and standard build/test commands — lives exclusively in the root instruction file and must not be duplicated here.

Use a simple heading that matches the component, e.g. # <crate> crate. Do not use a "Copilot Instructions:" heading for AGENTS.md files.

Topic Recommendations

At the end of your output, emit a fenced JSON block with recommended topics for detail files:

[
  { "slug": "testing", "title": "Testing Guide", "description": "How to write and run tests" },
  {
    "slug": "architecture",
    "title": "Architecture",
    "description": "Codebase structure and patterns"
  }
]

Recommend 3-5 topics that would benefit from deep-dive detail files. Each slug becomes a filename in the detail directory.

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.
