SOP for AIDE's built-in harness layer — injecting standard operating procedures, operating guidelines, and verification discipline into EVERY model's system context (bundled GGUF or BYOK cloud), sized to each model's instruction-following budget, with deterministic gates doing the enforcement that prose cannot. This is the productized version of how this project itself is run (credo + skills + veritas). Use when building the scaffolding composer, choosing what guidance ships per role/model…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Harness Prompt Scaffolding — SOPs for every model, built in ## What we are doing Give EVERY model served by AIDE a compact operating layer: who it is (role), the house operating rules (verify before claiming, fail closed, no secrets in output), task-family SOPs (coding/planning/utility checklists), and the format contract (SEARCH/REPLACE blocks, envelope shapes) — assembled per-request by a daemon-side composer, budgeted to the model's real instruction-following capacity. Enforcement of hard rules stays DETERMINISTIC (veritas-style gates, parser validation) — prose guides, code enforces. ## Research base (verified 2026-08-24) 1. AGENTS.md open standard (agents.md; Linux Foundation/AAIF; 60k+ repos): agents get a predictable instructions file; nested nearest-file-wins; sections = build/test commands, conventions, do-nots. 2. Codex AGENTS.md discovery (learn.chatgpt.com): global → project-root → walk-down chain; closer files override; **32 KiB default combined cap**; empty files skipped; instruction chain rebuilt once per run. …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-harness-prompt-scaffolding@sha256:44e067fd3d116a4eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.df7cbde, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
