aide

A command that routes a request to the separate aide skill, which coordinates a structured process for planning and building work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you enter /aide and want the aide skill to handle the request through its defined stages, from specification and research to building and quality checks.
Why use it?
It ensures requests using /aide follow that skill's required startup sequence and workflow. The command itself does not describe the underlying work.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 185 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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

aide 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 2d 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

/aide — Orchestrator

Invoke the aide skill via the Skill tool — that is your only valid response to /aide.

Skill(skill="aide", args="<the user's full request, verbatim>")

The aide skill is the source of truth for the orchestrator. It carries:

  • The MANDATORY BOOT SEQUENCE that must run before any user-facing response
  • The hard constraints (Delegation Only, Learn the Methodology First, Discover First)
  • The pipeline stages (spec → research → synthesize → plan → build → QA → fix)
  • The refactor and align flows
  • The routing rules

You MUST invoke the skill — do not attempt to handle /aide from this file alone. Skipping the skill means skipping the boot sequence, which means orchestrating a methodology you don't know.

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.

aide is a command published in the GitHub repository aidemd-mcp/server (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 185 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
