UltraCode-Shim AGENTS.md

UltraCode-Shim AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from OnlyTerp/UltraCode-Shim. It costs 2,489 tokens per session, scanned C, original, MIT.

A setup runbook for UltraCode-Shim, a small Python proxy that lets Claude Code use models the user already has access to. A proxy is an intermediary that receives requests and forwards them to another service.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps set up the proxy, verify Python and Claude Code, choose orchestrator and worker models, and launch the configured UltraCode mode.
Why use it?
It gives assistants a checked sequence for prerequisites, installation, model selection, and troubleshooting without adding Python packages.

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 C, and why

UltraCode-Shim AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 2 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 6d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runbook for AI assistants

You are helping a user set up UltraCode-Shim: it lets Claude Code's UltraCode mode run on any model the user already pays for, chosen from the pre-launch orchestrator/worker selector or from the /model menu.

Follow these phases in order. Do not skip the doctor. Everything here is pure Python standard library — do not pip install anything. Prefer the commands exactly as written; they are cross-platform-aware.

Phase 0 — Understand the goal (read once)

The end state: the user double-clicks "UltraCode (All Models)", picks an orchestrator + worker in the selector, and Claude Code opens already pointed at that choice. They can still type /model later and pick any backend they configured. The mechanism (no magic): a tiny loopback proxy (proxy.py) sits at ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL, advertises the user's models plus synthesized Worker → X entries on GET /v1/models, adds the UltraCode envelope to every request, and routes each pick to its real backend. See docs/HOW_IT_WORKS.md.

Phase 1 — Prerequisites

Run and confirm each:

  1. python3 --version (or python --version) → must be ≥ 3.8.
  2. claude --version → Claude Code CLI must be installed. If missing: npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.
  3. Confirm the user has UltraCode access in their Claude plan (they'd have used /effort ultracode before). If not, this project can't grant it.

Phase 2 — Get the code + baseline check

Fastest path — the one-command installer (clones if needed, runs the offline self-test, creates config.json, and installs a ultracode launcher on PATH):

# mac/linux/WSL
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OnlyTerp/UltraCode-Shim/main/install.sh | bash
# windows (PowerShell)
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OnlyTerp/UltraCode-Shim/main/install.ps1 | iex

If you already have a checkout, run ./install.sh (or .\install.ps1) from inside it. Either way, the installer runs the offline self-test for you.

If you'd rather do it by hand (or the installer can't run):

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.
