Poco is a self-hosted collaborative AI workspace designed as an alternative to OpenClaw, with chat channels, task management, file handling, and a web interface. Its Claude Code–based agent works inside an isolated sandbox and can use project files, skills, MCP tools, and sub-agents.

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 | $0.02866 | $0.02866 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.01146 | $0.01146 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00573 | $0.00573 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00287 | $0.00287 |
Grade A, and why
poco-claw AGENTS.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 1mo 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.

Project Overview
Poco is a multi-service AI agent execution platform that orchestrates Claude AI agents to perform coding tasks. The system consists of four main components:
- Frontend (Next.js 16) - Web UI for task management and monitoring
- Backend (FastAPI) - API server, database management, and session orchestration
- Executor (FastAPI + Claude Agent SDK) - Agent execution engine with hook-based extensibility
- Executor Manager (FastAPI + APScheduler) - Task scheduling and dispatch service
Architecture Flow
- User creates task via Frontend
- Executor Manager receives task, creates session via Backend
- Executor Manager schedules task with APScheduler
- Task Dispatcher sends task to Executor with callback URL
- Executor runs Claude Agent SDK with configured hooks
- Hooks send progress callbacks to Executor Manager during execution
- Executor Manager forwards callbacks to Backend for persistence
- Frontend polls Backend for session status updates
Development Commands
Frontend (Next.js)
cd frontend
pnpm install # Install dependencies
pnpm dev # Development server
pnpm build # Build for production
pnpm start # Start production server
pnpm lint # ESLint
pnpm format # Prettier
Python Services (Backend, Executor, Executor Manager)
Each Python service has its own directory with a pyproject.toml. Run commands from within the service directory:
cd <service> # backend/, executor/, or executor_manager/
uv sync # Install dependencies
uv run python -m app.main # Run development server
# Or directly with uvicorn:
uvicorn app.main:app --reload
Database Migrations (Backend)
cd backend
uv run -m alembic revision --autogenerate -m "description" # Autogenerate migration (review and adjust)
uv run -m alembic upgrade head # Apply migrations
uv run -m alembic downgrade -1 # Rollback one migration
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.

poco-claw AGENTS.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository poco-ai/poco-claw (1,357 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 2,866 tokens to every session, about $0.0115 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
