oia-manifest

oia-manifest is a skill for Claude Code from ruvnet/metaharness. It costs 79 tokens per session (1,024 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker that writes a JSON file describing how an AI system matches the nine-layer Open Intelligence Architecture, a reference model for comparing AI systems. It also records related protocol wiring, security, monitoring, identity, governance, and policy details.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, validate, preview, or print the system's architecture-alignment manifest.
Why use it?
It gives a standard vocabulary for documenting system coverage when the architecture itself does not provide a runtime or communication protocol.

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

oia-manifest 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

oia-manifest

Codex skill: emit/validate the OIA cross-cutting manifest layer (ADR-034, iter 121 → iter 122).

What it does

Emits .harness/oia-manifest.json — the harness's self-assessment against the Open Intelligence Architecture (OIA) v0.1 9-layer reference model published by the Agentics Foundation at https://oia.agentics.org.

The manifest declares:

  • 9 layer alignments — L1 physicalCompute → L9 humanAndBrowserInterface, each full / partial / none / not-applicable
  • 6 horizontal spans — security · observability · identity · governance · policyEnforcement · interoperability, each full / partial / none with an implementation reference (file path or ADR number)
  • 4 adjacent standardsmcp, a2a, acp, agentProtocol with current mode + wiring notes
  • discoveryEndpoint + registryUrl (both null at v0.1; OIA has no registry yet)

Why a manifest, not a host adapter?

OIA at v0.1 has no runtime and no wire protocol — it's a vendor-neutral vocabulary for assessing system alignment. The right plug-in shape is a static cross-cutting manifest (ADR-034 Decision: Option B). It plugs in ABOVE the host adapter contract and BELOW the MCP policy gate.

Usage from Codex

/oia-manifest path=./my-harness
/oia-manifest path=./my-harness check=true
/oia-manifest path=./my-harness dry-run=true

Equivalent CLI

harness oia-manifest ./my-harness                # write .harness/oia-manifest.json
harness oia-manifest ./my-harness --check        # validate existing manifest
harness oia-manifest ./my-harness --dry-run      # stdout, no file write
harness oia-manifest ./my-harness --json         # stdout JSON

Verdict + exit codes (--check)

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.
