aeon

A setup and management guide for Aeon, an agent that runs scheduled skills from a GitHub repository. It covers choosing skills, changing schedules, editing behavior, and setting the agent's strategy and voice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Starting or rescheduling Aeon, enabling or installing skills, fixing runs that are blocked, turning chats into scheduled skills, and editing strategy or voice settings.
Why use it?
It organizes the steps needed to start an Aeon instance or diagnose why one did not run. It also adds checks to ensure commands target the user's repository before changes are made.

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 E, and why

aeon scanned grade E with 4 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/mine-history.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

"What am I doing by hand over and over that Aeon could just do?" Mode 4 turns *this* chat into a skill; Mode 8 mines *past* chats to find which chat is worth turning into one. It reads the operator's local Claude Code tr

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

- **"No MCP tools available."** On the Claude harness a single unresolved `${VAR}` in `.mcp.json` disables **every** MCP server for that run, not just the broken one (`::warning::.mcp.json references secret(s) not set:`

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf aeon.git && git clone https://github.com/<owner>/<name>.git && cd <name>

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 451 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Aeon

Aeon is an agent that runs on the user's own GitHub repo via Actions. A skill is a Markdown file (skills/<name>/SKILL.md); aeon.yml says which ones run and when.

Pick the mode they're asking for:

1 · Start No instance yet, or set one up from scratch
2 · Reschedule Change times, cadence, or what a skill focuses on
3 · Unblock "It didn't run" / "nothing happened"
4 · Chat → skill Turn what we just did into a scheduled skill
5 · Edit a skill Change what an existing skill does
6 · What to turn on Pick skills, browse packs, install more
7 · Strategy & voice STRATEGY.md and soul/ — the north star and the tone
8 · Mine history → skill "What of my repeated work could Aeon do for me?" — surface it from past Claude Code chats

Preflight (every mode)

  1. Find the repo: current dir → gh repo set-default → ask. Clone it if it isn't local.

  2. Confirm gh points at THEIR instance, before any command that writes.

    gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner
    

    If that prints aeonfun/aeon and they aren't working on upstream itself, stop and run gh repo set-default <owner>/<repo>. gh prefers an upstream remote over origin when no default is pinned, and every Aeon write (auth, secrets set, skills run, config pushes) is a gh -R <resolved> call — so it will cheerfully put their API keys on the upstream repo and dispatch runs there. It looks like success: no error, a real run id, and the skill just never fires on their instance.

  3. gh auth status — everything routes through gh. If it fails, tell them to run gh auth login and stop.

  4. Use the ./aeon CLI for all config writes. It preserves comments in aeon.yml and validates. Never hand-edit the YAML — with one exception: the CLI cannot create an entry for a brand-new skill (see Mode 4 step 4).

Don't trust "disabled" for a skill you just created. The read path lists skills from disk and defaults a missing aeon.yml entry to enabled: false, so "not configured" and "disabled" look identical. One command tells them apart:

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

aeon is a skill published in the GitHub repository aeonfun/aeon (706 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 147 tokens to every session and 8,307 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it E with 4 findings (reads agent configuration directories, reads mcp configuration, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
