project-ai-docs-steward

project-ai-docs-steward is a skill for Claude Code from manhua-man/harness-coding-protocol. It costs 41 tokens per session (1,961 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review and maintenance process for the files that tell coding agents how to understand and work in a software repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit or improve files such as AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, steering rules, and editor-specific instructions after setup or when AI context becomes outdated.
Why use it?
It keeps agent instructions, project facts, and repository-specific rules consistent as the codebase changes.

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

project-ai-docs-steward 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 today.

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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project AI Docs Steward

Maintain structured entry documentation so every AI tool reading the target repo gets a consistent stack.

事 = AGENTS.md (Facts) · 法 = CLAUDE.md (Protocol) — both are mandatory for AI context. Missing 法 → codes without collaboration rules; missing 事 → reasons without correct facts.

This skill edits target-repo entry markdown only after a quality report and explicit user approval. Files created by a confirmed /harness-init run may still be untracked and remain eligible; unknown untracked files are user-owned and out of scope unless the user names them. Prefer updating existing files over duplicates (Update Before Create).

Layer model

Stack: 法 (CLAUDE.md)事 (AGENTS.md)steering (scoped overrides) → docs/ (human prose; not an AI truth source).

Tier Role Typical paths
1 · Entry routing What to read first .cursor/rules/*.mdc
2 · 法 + 事 AI truth CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md
3 · Overrides + human docs Steering; long-form specs steering/*.md or .kiro/steering/*.md, docs/**

Steering path resolution: If .kiro/steering/ exists, use it; else steering/. If both exist, audit both; index file may be project.md or README.md inside that folder.

Conflict rule: AI truth = AGENTS + CLAUDE; steering patches specific contexts; docs/ does not override 事/法.

Locale

Same priority as /harness-init Draft locale (ai-ide/skills/harness-init/SKILL.md § Draft locale):

  1. Explicit user locale instruction this session — hard override; switch language when the user asks.
  2. Otherwise preserve each file's existing body locale; new bullets match the file being edited and the target repo's entry-doc language.
  3. Do not anglicize a Chinese repo or sinicize an English repo unless the user requests it.

Workflow

Phase 1: Discovery

Locate entry files in the target workspace (Glob preferred):

  • AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, DESIGN.md (optional), .claude.local.md
  • .cursor/rules/*.mdc
  • steering/**/*.md and/or .kiro/steering/**/*.md
  • packages/**/CLAUDE.md (monorepo overrides)
  • Repository-owned skills/commands: **/*SKILL.md, .claude/commands/, .cursor/commands/, ai-ide/commands/, .agents/skills/ (as present)

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.

project-ai-docs-steward is a skill published in the GitHub repository manhua-man/harness-coding-protocol (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 41 tokens to every session and 1,961 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings.
