Agents
Home Manager module that owns the Nix side of the AI coding agents: deploying the global rules, the agent CLIs, and their environment.
The canonical rules text, behavioral scenarios, and external-tool snippets live in the top-level
agents/ directory. That directory stays portable Markdown with no
Nix dependency; this module only wires it into place.
Files
rules.nix: links the global rules to every agent's config location.packages.nix: agent CLIs (codex,opencode2,kimi-code,pi,omp) and the Grafana MCP server, from thellm-agentsflake input.env.nix: telemetry and auto-update opt-outs for the agents.
Deployed rule targets
rules.nix creates one out-of-store symlink per target, all pointing at
~/nix-config/agents/AGENTS.md:
| Agent | Target |
|---|---|
| Codex | ~/.codex/AGENTS.md |
| OpenCode | ~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md |
| Pi | ~/.pi/agent/AGENTS.md |
| OMP | ~/.omp/agent/AGENTS.md |
| Cross-tool (Kimi Code) | ~/.agents/AGENTS.md |
Out-of-store means an edit to agents/AGENTS.md takes effect on the next agent session without a
Home Manager switch. The trade-off is that the rules stay writable in the checkout; use a store
symlink (home.file.<target>.source = ../../../../agents/AGENTS.md) if immutability matters more
than fast iteration.
The module is imported through home/base/tui, so it applies to every host that imports
home/linux/gui.nix or the macOS home/darwin stack. Core-only servers do not get it.
