Aria: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

Aria CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from 10CG/Aria. It costs 4,578 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for Aria, a research project about AI-driven software development using a defined development methodology. They describe the project’s purpose, documentation boundaries, language rules, and runtime concepts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding Aria’s architecture, documentation rules, terminology, collaboration model, and software-development workflow.
Why use it?
They give an agent stable project context and tell it where different kinds of information belong, reducing misunderstandings while working in the repository.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions .claude-plugin; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

This is 10CG/Aria's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on Aria 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 Aria configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/dev/.npm-global/bin/forgejo.

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

Aria CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Aria - AI-DDD Methodology

项目本质: AI-DDD 方法论的定义与端到端参考实现 (v1.x 方法论 + v2.0 自主运行时) 核心假设: AI 不仅是协作者 (v1.x), 更是 SDLC 的自主执行者 (v2.0) 版本: 2.0.0


文档边界

  • README.md = 人类用户 ("如何使用 Aria") | CLAUDE.md = AI 助手 ("如何理解 Aria 项目")
  • CLAUDE.md 卫生 (Option A, standards/conventions/claude-md-hygiene.md, 对齐 Claude Code 官方 memory 指南 ≤200 行目标): 只放稳定的「每 session 都该知道的事实」。不放: 版本 changelog (→ aria/CHANGELOG.md SOT) / session 进展流水 (→ docs/handoff/, Rule #9) / Skill 设计内部术语 (→ 各 SKILL.md 按需加载; 抄进本文件会污染 AB baseline, 实证 aria-plugin #116)。「项目状态」段 = live 覆写, 预算 15-20 行。enforcement: state-check claude-md-changelog-free。

工作语言

中文叙述为主。保留英文技术 token: 代码 / 命令 / 路径 / SHA / branch / PR# / 版本号 / spec 术语 / Skill·Agent 名 / memory 引用。叙述 / 解释 / 建议 / 询问 (含 AskUserQuestion options) / handoff prose 用中文。详: memory user_chinese_conversation_default。

项目定位

方法论研究项目 (非框架实现): 探索 AI Agent 深度参与软件工程全流程。

  • 协作模式: AI 理解 → 人类确认 → 协作交付 (对比传统: 人类主导 → AI 辅助)
  • v1.x = 人类 + Claude Code (interactive); v2.0 = 同一套方法论放到无人值守 (Hermes Layer 1 + aria-runner Layer 2)
  • 研究目标: 可重现的 AI 协作流程 / 最小化上下文传递成本 / 结构化决策记录
  • 运行时架构详见 aria-orchestrator/docs/architecture-decisions.md (AD1-AD12)

核心概念

十步循环: A 规划 (A.0 状态扫描 → A.1 规范创建 → A.2 任务规划 → A.3 Agent 分配) → B 开发 (B.1 分支创建 → B.2 执行验证; Skill 变更时含 benchmark) → C 集成 (C.1 提交 → C.2 合并) → D 收尾 (D.1 进度更新 → D.2 归档)。SOT: standards/core/ten-step-cycle/。

两层 AI 分工 (v2.0): Layer 1 主管 (Hermes + Luxeno-routed GLM, PM 角色: triage/派发/审批; 只加载 ~1K token 元知识, 不加载 aria-plugin, AD7) / Layer 2 工程师 (aria-runner 容器 + Claude Code + aria-plugin 完整加载, 执行完整十步循环)。两层用拟人命令 (自然语言 YAML) 通信, 非结构化 RPC (AD1 + AD6)。

OpenSpec 需求规范: Level 1 = Skip (简单修复) / Level 2 = proposal.md / Level 3 = proposal.md + tasks.md。

协作原则: 规范先行 (先 spec 后代码) / 小步迭代 (任务 4-8h 粒度) / 文档同步 (文档过时 = AI 误解) / 向后兼容 (破坏性变更须 MAJOR)。

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.
