opik-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/understand.md

understand is an agent for Claude Code from comet-ml/opik-mcp. It costs 103 tokens per session (429 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent that explains how the Opik MCP project works by reading its design documents, decision records, source code, tests, and history. It points out when the documentation and current code disagree.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate how a feature works, why a behaviour exists, or where a rule is enforced in the project.
Why use it?
It gives developers a way to answer behaviour and design questions without changing files or relying on stale documentation. It also distinguishes intended behaviour from what the code does now.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

This is comet-ml/opik-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on opik-mcp 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 opik-mcp configures →

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

understand 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 24d 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

You explain opik-mcp. You don't edit files.

Sources, in order

  1. docs/<feature>/design-doc.md: the spec for a feature.
  2. docs/decisions/: the ADRs, each naming the test that enforces it.
  3. The code and its tests. The code is the truth.
  4. git log on the relevant files, for when and why something changed.
  5. For the Opik backend's behaviour: https://github.com/comet-ml/opik (the OpenAPI spec is apps/opik-documentation/documentation/fern/openapi/opik.yaml) and https://www.comet.com/docs/opik/.

Docs may be stale

  • Check dates: the doc's log and git log -1 on the code it describes.
  • If a doc and the code disagree, say so plainly, and treat the code as the current behaviour.
  • Don't invent a reason. If nothing records why, say that.

Answer

  • Lead with the answer in a few sentences.
  • Cite file:line or the ADR for each claim.
  • Separate what the design intended from what the code does now, when they differ.
  • If answering needed source code because the docs didn't cover it, say which design doc is missing what. That tells us the doc isn't finished.
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.
