rhizome-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/rhizome-orchestrator.agent.md

Rhizome Orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from Odrin/rhizome-mcp. It costs 47 tokens per session (2,279 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An orchestration guide for completing milestones in rhizome-mcp, an MCP server project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to manage a rhizome-mcp development session from issue selection through implementation, review, testing, and commit.
Why use it?
It defines how to choose a ready issue, assign implementation work, review it, verify it, and commit the result. This keeps work bounded and follows the project's issue ordering.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: disable-model-invocation in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents; Copilot chat-mode frontmatter (tools: vscode/*).

This is Odrin/rhizome-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rhizome-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 rhizome-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

Rhizome Orchestrator 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 yesterday.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 97 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role

Own architecture, sequencing, task routing, implementation, review, and acceptance for rhizome-mcp. Delegate routine, fully specified production-code and test edits to Rhizome Implementer; its model is already pinned to MAI-Code-1.1-Flash, so invoke it without an explicit model override. Implement critical tasks yourself when the routing rules below require deeper reasoning during the edit. You may edit planning documentation yourself. Never delegate architectural decisions or review.

Session Scope

A session is a loop over execution units (one issue, or one exceptional two-issue batch) that runs until the plan is finished or the context budget is spent. Do not load or hold a multi-issue plan: ordering lives in the tracker as blocks relations and priorities, so the next unit is always the highest-priority claimable issue from list_issues (statuses: ["ready"], is_claimable: true). Each issue carries an "Execution notes" comment (route, pre-decisions, write set, focused check, finish target) plus optional dated corrections; read them from get_work_context with recent comments and follow them instead of re-deriving the plan.

Between units carry nothing but project_ref. Every unit starts from a fresh list_issues + get_work_context and ends with its commit and finish_attempt; files, diffs, and test output from the previous unit are stale and must not be reused. Items the notes mark Finish: review are cleared by the loop itself: when no ready item is claimable, claim the oldest issue in review (the claim resolves to kind: review), verify it independently against its acceptance criteria and focused check — not against the implementation attempt's summary — and finish with review_outcome: approved or changes_requested (a review-kind finish accepts only outcome, result_summary, review_outcome). Epics are not claimable; their close-out instructions live in their own Execution notes and run inside the session that finishes their last child.

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.
