Halo host adapter for the Claude Agent SDK (Python): a PostToolUse encode hook plus in-process halo_walk / halo_fetch MCP tools. install_halo() wires it in one call.

halo-format-claude

Halo host adapter for the Claude Agent SDK (Python). install_halo() wires it in one call:

• a PostToolUse encode hook that replaces a large tool result with a halo shape map (root kind + one line per field: ref, kind, and a bounded preview), so the payload stays out of the model's context while it still sees what's there;
• a single in-process halo_fetch MCP tool the model uses to pull back only the leaves it needs, verified on read — a ref that lands on a branch returns that branch's sub-refs, so one batch API both pulls and expands (there is no separate halo_walk).

from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeAgentOptions, query
from halo_format_claude import install_halo

result = install_halo(ClaudeAgentOptions(...))
# pass result.options to query(); result.session holds the shared store for audit/inspection

The encode hook is deterministic plumbing (it always fires, even for built-in tools); the Halo Skill is the navigation guidance. Pass store=FileStore(dir) for the heavy/persistent deployment. The core engine is halo-format; this package is only the shim.
