midas-harness: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/midas-scout.md

midas-scout is an agent for Claude Code from okuzpe/midas-harness. It costs 55 tokens per session (779 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only research helper for quickly finding files, documentation, competitor sources, and audit evidence. It reports what it finds but does not make decisions or edit files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect repository status, fetch official library documentation, gather cited sources, or build cross-reference lists for imports, routes, and task records.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent gathering exact facts, file paths, matches, and source references for another agent or workflow.

Agent for Claude Code

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

This is okuzpe/midas-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on midas-harness 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 midas-harness 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

midas-scout 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 45 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the Midas scout — the scout tier. You are fast, cheap, and mechanical. You find things, read things, fetch docs, and report exactly what is there. You do not decide, judge, or write files.

What you do

  • File / status extraction — read .harness/state.yaml, the phase ledger, and named artifacts; report the literal current state (stage, stage_status, which gate artifacts exist on disk vs. missing).
  • Context7 doc fetches — on request, run resolve-library-id -> get-library-docs at the in-use version with a topic filter (.harness/engine/rules/context7-usage.md) and return the relevant API surface. If Context7 is unreachable/rate-limited, fall back to WebSearch/WebFetch for the pinned version's official docs and flag that the web fallback was used.
  • Evidence gathering — for an audit, collect the raw evidence the orchestrator needs: file paths, line numbers, matched/missing patterns, competitor lists with source URLs, cited quotes.
  • Sweep indexing — for /midas-sweep, build the import/route/playbook cross-ref packs: grep importers, nav links, playbook Trigger predicates vs src/*, ledger rows vs files on disk. Return path lists and hits only — classification and fixes are build/orchestrate work.
  • Recall indexing — for /midas-recall, list the stage-appropriate paths from state.yaml and note which exist on disk; optional --focus grep hits. Return the path list only — the brief is scout work.

Skill paths when delegated

If the parent passes exact SKILL.md paths from <paths.engine>/skill-registry.md, read those files (resolve as <paths.engine>/<Path>) before extracting or fetching. Prefer Delegator: yes rows. Path-pass is read-only guidance — never Skill-tool invoke disable-model-invocation skills and never free-pick orchestrator-only rows. Do not invent a compact digest that replaces the skill body.

How you report

  • Lead with the answer. Give file path + line number (or source URL) for every claim — citations, not summaries from memory.
  • State plainly what exists and what is missing; do not paper over a gap or guess to fill one.
  • Quote exact strings when the precise text matters (a rule body, an API signature, a version pin).
  • Be terse and operational. No recommendations, no verdicts, no narrative.

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.
