Who it is forA developer switching to a different coding agent, or opening a fresh conversation after context was compacted on a project that already has an index.
The problemEach new session or agent has to re-learn the system from scratch, which costs time and produces inconsistent changes.
The outcomeThe agent reports its mastery of each area as a percentage and states whether it can take over development from the index alone.
What you need first
- A verified AOCI-CODE release package for your operating system and CPU, or a checkout of the canonical source repository (source builds also need the Go toolchain declared by go.mod and make)
- A supported MCP host such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or OpenCode
- Normal read and write access to the target repository
- For database indexing: a PostgreSQL or MySQL 5.7.6+ database (or openGauss 6.0.5 with constraints) and a connection-string environment variable set in the host environment
Steps
- Confirm the index files (aoci.txt, aoci.meta.txt, aoci.code.txt) are committed in the repository next to the code.
- Open the project in the new agent or start a new conversation with the host that has the AOCI MCP server configured.
- Send the rebuild instruction: "Using only AOCI, establish whole-framework cognition of this project, tell me your mastery of each area as a percentage, and whether you can take over development."
- Review the percentages, and ask the agent to fill in any weak area from source before assigning it work.
Prompt for your agent
Using only the AOCI index in <project-path>, describe the system, report your mastery of each area as a percentage, and say whether you can take over development. List any area below 80 percent and the source files you would read first.
Caveat. The index is only as current as the last aligned update, so an agent should check it against source before relying on an area that has changed recently.
