A command that adds project-specific routing settings for Harness Council, a system that sends different coding tasks to different AI workers. It creates a configuration file and a section in the project's agent instructions.

Use it to initialize routing rules, choose a custom instructions filename, force an existing configuration update, or create only the configuration or documentation file.

It records how this project should route tasks without overwriting the rest of the existing instructions, and can be run again safely.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00024	$0.00344
Opus 5	$0.00012	$0.00172
Sonnet 5	$0.00005	$0.00069
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00034

Security

Grade A, and why

init 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 4d 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

Set up Harness Council overrides for the current project.

First make it clear this is optional: council already works in every project (user-scope MCP + the council-runtime skill). init only exists to pin project-specific routing.

Run:

council init

This writes two files, both idempotent — re-running updates the managed block in place and never touches the user's own content:

.harness-council.toml — a fully commented template showing what this project resolves to today. Commented values keep inheriting ~/.harness-council/config.toml; uncommenting pins them to this repo.
CLAUDE.md — a  block describing council and the current role table.

Useful flags: --file AGENTS.md (when another harness orchestrates this repo), --force (overwrite an existing toml), --no-toml / --no-doc.

Extra context from the user: $ARGUMENTS

If they described project-specific routing rules (e.g. "always explore first here", "code should go to Claude in this repo"), then after running init:

Uncomment and edit the matching keys in .harness-council.toml.
Replace the guidance placeholder comment inside the CLAUDE.md block with those rules in plain prose.
Re-read the files back to the user and summarize what changed.

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.

init is a command published in the GitHub repository dorukanc/harness-council (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 344 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
