agents-dir-rules

agents-dir-rules is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from remix2111/hermes-agent-advanced-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that automatically adds directory-specific rules to a sub-agent before it works in that directory. These rules can be stored in files such as AGENTS.md or .hermes-rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for applying directory-level instructions during delegated tasks, such as required languages, test commands, naming rules, and API boundaries.
Why use it?
It helps sub-agents follow the local coding, testing, and file-placement rules of the directory they enter. The parent agent checks for those files before delegating work.

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

agents-dir-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 11d 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.

What it actually says

AGENTS.md 目录级规则注入

场景

当需要子 Agent 进入特定项目目录执行任务时,该目录下的 AGENTS.md 或 .hermes-rules 文件定义了该目录的约定、规范、约束。在 delegate_task 前先读取这些规则并注入到 context 中,子 Agent 就能自动按该目录的规矩行事。

用法

1. 在项目目录创建规则文件

# AGENTS.md — 供 Hermes 子 Agent 读取
touch path/to/project/AGENTS.md

# .hermes-rules — 另一种命名风格,同样支持
touch path/to/project/.hermes-rules

AGENTS.md 内容示例:

# 目录规则

## 编码规范
- 使用 TypeScript,严格模式
- 缩进 2 空格,行尾无分号
- 所有公共函数必须有 JSDoc 注释

## 测试
- 每个函数至少一个测试用例
- 测试文件放在 __tests__/ 目录
- 使用 vitest 运行

## 约束
- 不允许使用 any 类型
- 不允许引入 lodash,使用原生 JS 替代
- API 请求必须走 src/api/ 封装的客户端

2. 父 Agent 检查规则文件

标准流程(每次 delegate_task 调用前执行):

# 先检查目录下 AGENTS.md 或 .hermes-rules
ls <target_dir>/AGENTS.md 2>/dev/null && cat <target_dir>/AGENTS.md
# 或
ls <target_dir>/.hermes-rules 2>/dev/null && cat <target_dir>/.hermes-rules

如果文件存在,将内容拼接到 delegate_task 的 context 参数中。

3. 完整调用示例

# 伪代码逻辑
target_dir = "~/projects/my-app/src"

# 检查规则文件
rules = ""
if os.path.exists(f"{target_dir}/AGENTS.md"):
    with open(f"{target_dir}/AGENTS.md") as f:
        rules = f.read()
elif os.path.exists(f"{target_dir}/.hermes-rules"):
    with open(f"{target_dir}/.hermes-rules") as f:
        rules = f.read()

# 注入到 delegate_task
delegate_task(
    goal="在 src/ 下添加用户注册 API 路由",
    context=f"工作目录: {target_dir}\n\n目录规则:\n{rules}",
    toolsets=["terminal", "file"]
)

多级目录规则合并

当子 Agent 需要进入深层子目录时,按以下优先级合并规则(从近到远):

  1. 目标目录下的 AGENTS.md(最高优先级)
  2. 目标目录的父目录下的 AGENTS.md
  3. 项目根目录下的 AGENTS.md(最低优先级)

重复字段以最高优先级为准,不重复的字段全部保留。

配套 .hermes-agent.yaml

可以在项目根目录放 .hermes-agent.yaml 文件定义全局约定:

# .hermes-agent.yaml — 整个项目的 Hermes 配置
agents:
  default_workdir: "~/projects/my-app"
  always_inject_rules: true
  rules_files:
    - AGENTS.md
    - .hermes-rules

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.
