What is aoh CLAUDE.md?

Instructions for AOH, a tool that packages and adapts agent skills for different coding-agent runtimes but does not execute them. It requires project planning files to be read before work and updated when work ends.

Use it when starting or closing work in an AOH project, especially when reading project state, following its architecture, or recording decisions and next steps.

It keeps project decisions, progress, and handoffs in files instead of relying only on chat history.

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 5.1	$0.00751	$0.00751
Opus 5.5	$0.00300	$0.00300
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00150	$0.00150
Haiku 4.5	$0.00075	$0.00075

Security

Grade A, and why

aoh CLAUDE.md 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 2mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AOH — Agentic Ops Harness

Engine-neutral harness for agentic ops: packs of skills/roles/teams compiled to agent runtimes (Hermes, Claude Code, Codex today; Goose next). AOH organizes, packages, validates, adapts — it never executes. Runtimes execute.

Session bootstrap (ALWAYS, including after /clear or compaction)

Project memory lives in .planning/ markdown, outside the context window. Before any work:

Read .planning/STATE.md — current position, next action, handoff notes
Read .planning/ROADMAP.md — phase you're in, what "done" means
Consult .planning/PROJECT.md decisions table before proposing design changes — don't re-litigate decided questions; add new decisions to the table instead
.planning/design/ holds dated design reviews; .planning/codebase/ holds architecture/structure/concerns maps; .planning/todos/pending.md holds small items

Never rely on conversation memory for project state. If chat and .planning/ disagree, .planning/ wins until the user says otherwise.

Session close (or any significant milestone)

Update .planning/ BEFORE ending work — this is how context survives /clear:

STATE.md: position, session log entry (date + what happened), next action
ROADMAP.md: phase status changes
PROJECT.md: new decisions with date + why
Commit .planning/ changes with the work they describe

Working style

Superpowers drives the loop — speed of iteration over ceremony:

Creative/feature work → superpowers:brainstorming first
All implementation → superpowers:test-driven-development (RED/GREEN/REFACTOR, no production code without a failing test)
Bugs → superpowers:systematic-debugging
Completion claims → superpowers:verification-before-completion (fresh command output or it didn't happen)

.planning/ is shared memory, not process. Do NOT spin up GSD phase ceremony (PLAN.md, verification docs) here — GSD files that already exist (codebase/) are read-only reference; keep formats compatible so GSD tools still work.

Changes

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.
