Frequently Asked Questions
Does auto-sop slow down Claude Code?
Does auto-sop slow down Claude Code?
No. The hook shim adds less than 50ms of overhead per tool call. Captures use a double-fork technique — the capture process detaches immediately so Claude Code doesn’t wait for it. You won’t notice any difference in your workflow.
Does it cost money to use?

The free tier is $0 forever — 1 project, unlimited directives, all CLI commands included.LLM analysis (the learner) runs through your existing Claude Max subscription. auto-sop doesn’t call any paid API — it uses the same Claude instance you already have. The free plan includes cloud sync for 1 project (stats and dashboard access). The Pro plan (99/yr) adds unlimited projects, directive sync, and priority support.
What if auto-sop writes a bad directive?
What if auto-sop writes a bad directive?
You have multiple recovery options:
auto-sop revert— Restores CLAUDE.md from the most recent backup, removing the latest batch of directive changes- TTL pruning — Directives that don’t fire (aren’t useful) are automatically pruned over time
auto-sop repair— Fixes managed-section drift if you’ve manually edited the managed area- Manual edit — You can always edit CLAUDE.md directly; use
auto-sop repairafterward to re-sync the hash
Does it work with VS Code / Cursor?
Does it work with VS Code / Cursor?
auto-sop works with Claude Code CLI regardless of your editor. Whether you use VS Code, Cursor, Neovim, or a plain terminal, auto-sop hooks into the Claude Code process — not your editor.If you run Claude Code through your terminal or an editor’s integrated terminal, auto-sop captures and learns normally.
Can I use it on multiple projects?
Can I use it on multiple projects?
- Free plan: 1 active project at a time. To switch, uninstall from the current project and install in a new one.
- Pro plan: Unlimited projects. Each project syncs independently with its own stats and directives.
auto-sop install --license YOUR_KEY in each project directory to bind it.Does it work on Windows?
Does it work on Windows?
Yes. auto-sop supports macOS, Linux, and Windows. The scheduler uses launchd (macOS), systemd (Linux), or Task Scheduler (Windows) depending on your platform.
How many mistakes before a directive is created?
How many mistakes before a directive is created?
The learner requires 3 or more occurrences of a pattern before considering it a directive candidate. After detection, each candidate is validated with LLM analysis to confirm it represents a genuine recurring mistake — not a coincidence or intentional behavior.This threshold keeps directives high-quality and evidence-based.
Can I manually edit the managed section in CLAUDE.md?
Can I manually edit the managed section in CLAUDE.md?
The managed section is hash-protected. auto-sop detects manual edits and marks the section as drifted.If you need to make changes:
- Edit CLAUDE.md as needed
- Run
auto-sop repairto re-sync the hash
<!-- auto-sop managed --> block.The managed section is clearly delimited with comment markers. Everything outside those markers is yours to edit freely.
Is my source code ever sent to a server?
Is my source code ever sent to a server?
No. Never. auto-sop captures Claude Code tool calls and outcomes — not your source code. Even these captures stay local on your machine.The data that can leave your machine (opt-in via license key) is:
- Aggregate statistics (tokens saved, errors prevented) — all plans
- Project slug (directory name) — all plans
- First 10 words of each directive — Pro only
- Directive fire counts — Pro only
How do I check if auto-sop is working?

Run the health check:This verifies hooks, scheduler, managed section, and overall installation health. You can also check recent activity:
