aontu

aontu is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aontu-lang/aontu. It costs 69 tokens per session (494 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool and language for writing configuration files that extend JSON with rules, defaults, templates, and explanations. Its documents unify constraints instead of silently overwriting one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate data against schemas, query values and their reasons, safely apply overlays, and create stable hashes for .aon files.
Why use it?
It can reveal contradictions and explain why a configuration value is valid, rather than only checking whether the file parses.

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

aontu 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (init/check.sh), 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.

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.

What it actually says

aontu

aontu is JSON plus a lattice. Two documents do not override each other, they unify: the result is the most specific value that satisfies both, or an error naming the contradiction. That makes a definition checkable, queryable and safe to change.

Start here:

  • Every JSON document is an aontu document. Write JSON, then add what JSON cannot say.
  • tasks.md — the verb for a job, indexed by the word you arrived with (ontology, schema, validate, model).
  • grammar-card.md — the whole surface on one page.
  • examples.md — the JSON-superset ladder: plain JSON, then kinds, defaults, templates, constraints.
  • error-codes.md — what a refusal means and what to do about it.

The verbs, all of which answer as JSON with --format json:

aontu vet schema.aontu data.aontu   # does this data satisfy that truth?
aontu model get $.a.b file.aontu        # what does it say at a path?
aontu model why $.a.b file.aontu        # why does that value hold?
aontu model set $.a.b=1 --entry file.aontu --overlay over.aontu
aontu allow --role dev roles.aontu $.a.b   # may this role change that subtree?
aontu hash file.aontu             # a pin that survives reformatting

These four files also ship INSIDE the command, so they answer with no network and no checkout: aontu help lists the topics, aontu help language is the grammar card, and aontu explain <code> says what one refusal means.

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.
