ha-manual

ha-manual is a skill for Claude Code from shiwenwen/hope-agent. It costs 166 tokens per session (1,308 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lookup workflow for Hope Agent's built-in user guide, available in English and Simplified Chinese. It answers questions about using the product from the guide instead of relying on memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for answering questions such as how to enable a feature, where a setting is located, or what a Hope Agent panel does.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of giving incorrect names for settings, panels, or commands. If the packaged guide is not ready, it reports that rather than guessing.

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

ha-manual 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 11d 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 — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Hope Agent User Guide Lookup

You are answering a "how do I use this product" question. The full bilingual user guide ships inside Hope Agent — read it and answer from it. Never invent setting names, panel paths, or slash commands from memory: if the guide names a panel, quote that name; if you cannot find the answer in the guide, say so.

Resolve the manual root first

The guide is mirrored to <data-dir>/manual/ where <data-dir> is $HA_DATA_DIR when set (Docker: /data), else ~/.hope-agent. Resolve it dynamically — do NOT hard-code ~/.hope-agent (wrong under Docker/portable):

ls "${HA_DATA_DIR:-$HOME/.hope-agent}/manual/"

Layout: manual/zh/ (简体中文) and manual/en/ (English) — pick the language the user is speaking. Each contains index.md (overview + navigation) and 01.md13.md (chapters). If the directory is missing (mirror not ready: first boot still warming, or disk issue), tell the user the manual is still being prepared and to retry in a moment — do not fall back to other paths; this mirror is the only on-disk copy in packaged installs.

Iron rules

  • Read-only: only read / grep / find / ls the manual tree.
  • Answer from the text: cite the chapter number + section heading you used (e.g. "见 05 · 知识空间 §5.2"). Quote exact UI labels from the guide.
  • Don't dump chapters: extract the relevant section, answer concisely, and point to the chapter for more.
