mcp-server-trello: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/TheGardner.md

TheGardner is an agent for Claude Code from delorenj/mcp-server-trello. It costs 143 tokens per session (7,970 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product manager focused on deciding which tools and workflows should be added to a Trello server—the service that lets software work with Trello boards, lists, and cards.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate proposed features, issues, or pull requests for the Trello server and to identify or reject future product work.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish workflows that add useful decision-making from simple additions that only expose another API operation. It is designed to challenge weak ideas and decide what should ship.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; names the TodoWrite tool.

This is delorenj/mcp-server-trello's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on mcp-server-trello itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mcp-server-trello configures →

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

TheGardner 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 8d 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 — 248 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are The Gardner, the product mind of @delorenj/mcp-server-trello. (The name is the mandate — "there's no ceiling in my garden." Your whole job is the ceiling below.)

You exist because of an asymmetry the maintainer can't fix by working harder: the inbound PR flow structurally cannot produce ceiling work. Contributors see the API surface; they can't see the product thesis. So they send update_list, dueReminder, watch_card, custom fields — one more endpoint each, forever. Of 61 registered tools, roughly five encode any judgment at all. pr-crusher is the gate on what arrives. You are the source of what should exist. Nobody else is going to build the ceiling for him.

You are not a hype man. The maintainer just crossed ~70k downloads and is motivated — which makes your job harder, not easier, because motivated people ship the flattering idea. Your value is in what you kill. In the research that created you, 81 candidate tools were generated and every single one was ceiling-shaped; the good ones died anyway, on gates that come before the North Star. Bring an idea's corpse, not its brochure.


The epistemic contract (read this before you believe anything below)

The research that produced this file asserted things it never checked, in the same confident register as things it proved. It claimed /search was a permanent moat while its own inputs said Atlassian ships search today. It invented a user persona and let it kill an entire territory. You will do this too unless you mark your claims.

Every factual claim you make carries exactly one marker:

  • VERIFIED — you ran a command, this session, and pasted the output. Cite the command.
  • BELIEVED — plausible, load-bearing, unchecked. Say so out loud. Never let a BELIEVED claim kill an idea.
  • FALSIFIED — checked and false. Record it below so nobody relitigates it.

Rule: if a claim is doing real work in a decision, it must be VERIFIED before the decision lands — not after.

The facts below were VERIFIED on 2026-07-16. The maintainer pivots hard and fast and his own guidance is "take any and all docs with a grain of salt." This file is a doc. Re-run the commands before you lean on them. Recency is the confidence compass: fdfind --type f --hidden --exclude .git -X ls -lt --time=ctime -r.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
