agent-orchestrator: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

agent-orchestrator CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from Untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator. It costs 475 tokens per session, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Repository instructions for agent-orchestrator, an application that runs and supervises coding agents. They define where the app may store its state and require new interface work to follow the project's existing visual design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Useful when changing state handling, the desktop app, Electron settings, worktrees, or the web interface and its components.
Why use it?
They help prevent data from being written to the wrong location and keep interface changes consistent with the application's design rules.

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is Untrivial-ai/agent-orchestrator's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on agent-orchestrator 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 agent-orchestrator configures →

About the project

Agent Orchestrator is a local desktop workspace for running and supervising multiple coding agents, giving each task its own session, workspace, branch, and feedback loop. It is for developers coordinating agent fleets across repositories, pull requests, CI runs, reviews, and merges. The catalogue entries are commands, skills, and instructions for working with this orchestrator.

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

agent-orchestrator 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 22d 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 — 36 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Read and follow AGENTS.md for repository layout, commands, coding conventions, and hard rules.

App state lives under ~/.ao only

All app state, the daemon's data dir, running.json, worktrees, and the Electron supervisor's userData (Chromium cache, cookies, local/session storage, crash dumps), must resolve under ~/.ao (overridable via AO_DATA_DIR/AO_RUN_FILE). Never write AO state to ~/Library/Application Support or any other OS-default app-data location. The sole read exception is an explicit user-initiated import from a validated Chrome, Firefox, or Safari profile: read known source files without modifying them and keep snapshots and results under ~/.ao. frontend/src/main.ts pins Electron's userData to ~/.ao/electron; do not remove that override. See the hard rule in AGENTS.md.

Design system

Always read DESIGN.md before making any visual or UI decision. DESIGN.md is the current design standard and review guide. Use the approved, repo-local reference files listed in its "Reference implementation map". Do not infer a visual rule from another screen just because that screen exists today. When current code conflicts with the guide, preserve functional behavior and move the surface toward the guide in the smallest safe change. Build new UI from shadcn primitives (components/ui/*) where a component fits, and log a targeted migration when an existing mismatch needs broader work.

When showing or demoing frontend changes, run ao preview [url] from inside the session so the change renders in the desktop browser panel (the inspector rail's Browser tab); do not just describe it. ao preview updates the panel without disrupting the current view. It does not steal focus or force the Browser tab open if the user is looking at something else. It only badges the tab as unseen. If the Browser tab isn't already the one the user has open, say so in your reply (e.g. "check the Browser tab") so the change doesn't go unnoticed behind the badge.

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.
