Which agent this was written for is unclear — body not stored (licence); the path alone says nothing. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is mindfold-ai/Trellis's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on Trellis 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 Trellis configures →

About the project

Trellis is an engineering framework that stores project specifications, tasks, and working memory in a repository so coding agents can follow consistent development practices across sessions. Teams use it to organize AI-assisted planning, implementation, review, and validation across multiple coding platforms. The catalogue entries provide Trellis commands, agents, hooks, skills, instructions, and settings.

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

python-design scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

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.
