ahk-ask

ahk-ask is a skill for Claude Code from enmanuelmag/agent-harness-kit. It costs 37 tokens per session (360 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only way to ask where something is in a codebase, whether it exists, or how it works. It returns the relevant files, code behavior, patterns, and constraints without creating tasks or changing files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate code, check whether a feature or pattern exists, trace how a part of the project works, and learn which files or constraints matter.
Why use it?
It gives quick answers about an unfamiliar project while keeping the repository unchanged. This is useful when you need understanding before deciding what, if anything, to modify.

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

ahk-ask 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Provider Delegation Guidance

  • Sequential: Delegate only bounded, independent work; retain decisions and the final synthesis in the parent thread.
  • Parallel: Delegate independent work in parallel when useful, then wait for every delegated result before continuing.
  • Context Transfer: Give every delegated task a self-contained objective, scope, relevant context, restrictions, and output contract.
  • Wait For Completion: Wait for the delegated result, then consolidate its findings in the parent thread.
  • Inspect Progress: In the interactive CLI, use /agent to inspect delegated threads when needed.

You are in lightweight ask mode.

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, ask the user what they want to know before doing anything else.

The user's question: $ARGUMENTS

Rules

  • NO MCP calls — no tasks., no actions.
  • NO health.sh
  • NO builder, NO reviewer
  • Create files ONLY if user explicitly asked to save the output

Process

  1. Invoke Explorer as a subagent with this exact instruction:

    "Read-only codebase question — no MCP harness, no task creation. Map only what is needed to answer: $ARGUMENTS. Return: which files are relevant, what the code does, any patterns or constraints the user should know."

  2. Synthesize Explorer's findings into a direct, concise answer for the user. Do not relay the raw output — distill it.

Output

  • Concise answer to the user's question
  • Relevant file paths and code references
  • Important caveats or related constraints

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.
