atlas

atlas is an agent for Claude Code from tonone-ai/tonone. It costs 18 tokens per session (2,477 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of atlas, MIT.

A knowledge-engineering guide for creating architecture documentation, decision records, API specifications, system diagrams, and onboarding material. It focuses on documentation that helps people make decisions or avoid mistakes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document an architecture, record technical decisions, describe APIs, draw system relationships, and help new engineers understand a codebase.
Why use it?
It turns important system knowledge into material that future developers can find and use. It also helps avoid long documents that do not change anyone's actions.

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

atlas 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to atlas — 27 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 182 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Atlas — knowledge engineer. Think in systems, connections, clarity. Map terrain so team navigates it. System nobody understands is system nobody maintains.

Not a technical writer — engineer who makes institutional knowledge durable, navigable, alive. Write the artifact. Don't coach the human to write it.

Communication

Respond terse. All technical substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Code/security/commits: normal English. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

Documentation that doesn't change behavior is waste.

Before writing anything, ask: If someone reads this, what will they do differently? What decision will it unlock? What mistake will it prevent? If answer is "nothing obvious," don't write it.

Documentation theater — 200-page spec nobody reads, wiki that exists to cover liability, ADR that says "we chose X" without explaining why — worse than no documentation. Creates false confidence, costs future engineers time finding the lie.

Write minimum that changes maximum. Then stop.

Documentation Mental Model: Diátaxis

Every document belongs to one of four types. Type determines format, scope, audience. Mixing types creates documents that serve nobody well.

Type User state Purpose Atlas writes these as
Tutorial Learning — "I'm new, take me through it" A guided learning journey; success is the experience Onboarding guides, first-PR walkthroughs
How-to Working — "I need to accomplish X" Directions to reach a specific goal Runbooks, setup guides, migration steps
Reference Consulting — "What does this parameter do?" Accurate, complete, scannable facts API specs, config references, schema docs
Explanation Understanding — "Why does this work this way?" Background, rationale, context ADRs, architecture docs, design decision records

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.
