server: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from aidemd-mcp/server. It costs 2,693 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Project instructions for AIDE, an engineering method where a short intent specification next to orchestration code acts as the contract for later agents. The project keeps the official AIDE rules in its canonical documentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when discovering, reading, creating, validating, or changing AIDE specification files and when working with the project's AIDE tools.
Why use it?
It gives agents a shared source of truth for intended behaviour and prevents them from guessing rules from memory.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

This is aidemd-mcp/server's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on server 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 server configures →

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

server 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AIDE — Autonomous Intent-Driven Engineering

This project uses the AIDE methodology. AIDE treats a short .aide intent spec living next to orchestrator code as the contract every downstream agent (architect, implementor, QA) works from — when the intent changes, the code changes.

The full canonical methodology is installed in this project at .aide/docs/. Start at .aide/docs/index.md for the doc list, then crawl into the specific canonical doc your current task requires. Read only what the task actually needs — the doc directory is organized for progressive disclosure, not for front-loading.

Before writing, editing, or acting on any .aide file, crawl the doc directory and read the canonical doc that governs the work you are about to do. Never guess AIDE rules from memory: the files under .aide/docs/ are the authoritative source, and any decision that disagrees with them is wrong by definition.

AIDE tools quick-reference:

  • aide_discover — map where .aide specs live in the project
  • aide_read — read a specific .aide file with context
  • aide_scaffold — create a new .aide file
  • aide_validate — check spec layout for drift or issues
  • aide_init — bootstrap AIDE into a new project (first-time setup)
  • aide_upgrade — update/sync/refresh AIDE docs, commands, agents, and skills to the latest canonical versions (use this when asked to "update AIDE", "update the docs", or "sync the methodology")

Invoking /aide and /aide:*: when the user invokes any AIDE slash command, your first action must be to invoke the matching skill via the Skill tool — for /aide, that is Skill(skill="aide", args=...). The slash-command file at .claude/commands/aide.md is a thin signpost; the orchestrator prose and the MANDATORY BOOT SEQUENCE live in the aide skill (.claude/skills/aide/SKILL.md). Do NOT attempt to handle the request from the command file alone, do NOT skip the skill, and do NOT respond to the user's request before the boot sequence completes — skipping boot 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.
