This is okuzpe/midas-harness's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on midas-harness 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 midas-harness configures →

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00061 $0.01012
Opus 5.5 $0.00024 $0.00405

Security

Grade A, and why

midas-help 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 2mo 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.

midas-help — intent → one command

Paths / state: <paths.engine>/templates/skill-state-ritual.md (read-only) + AGENTS.md § Path resolution.

Read-only. Never writes, never advances gates. Complements /midas-status (pipeline PC). Canonical catalog + router: docs/skills.md (install: <paths.engine>/docs/skills.md) — cite it; do not paste the full situation→command table unless the user picks "I'm not sure". Flow shape (handoffs, not commands): docs/skill-flows.md (install: <paths.engine>/docs/skill-flows.md) — cite when the user asks how skills connect; commands still come from docs/skills.md or /midas-status. Surface filter (ADR-013): AskQuestion options and Exact commands are user-surface: primary only. Do not offer internal (progress, qa, diff-gates, lean-review, sweep) or deprecated aliases (update, auto-pilot aliases) as menu choices — parents path-pass those; power-users may type them.

Response map (L3): ./response-map.md — after AskQuestion, load only the chosen option.

Steps

  1. Ask once. Use AskQuestion with ONE single-select. Options (copy labels exactly, this order):
    • Set up or update Midas (/midas-init)
    • Start a product idea or adopt brownfield (/idea-intake / /midas-adopt)
    • Resume after a break (/midas-status + /midas-recall)
    • Run the next phase gate (phase skills 0–8)
    • Start or close a sprint (/start-sprint / /close-sprint / /midas-auto-pilot / /midas-retro)
    • Debug a failing fix (/midas-investigate)
    • Autonomy / auto-pilot (/midas-auto-pilot)
    • Verify UI before close (/midas-verify)
    • Clean dead flows / lean the repo (/midas-hygiene)
    • Redesign product UI (/midas-design)
    • Security or adversarial review (/midas-security-audit / /midas-tribunal)
    • Capture a recurring pattern (/midas-capture)
    • Export or import project knowledge (/midas-bundle)
    • Install confusion / adapter health (/midas-reconcile / /midas-doctor)
    • Investigate something outside the pipeline (/midas-explore)
    • I'm not sure — show a short summary table

What ships with it

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.
