mesh

mesh is an agent for Claude Code from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. It costs 68 tokens per session (852 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An architecture for managing communication between services in a system made of multiple small applications. It covers encrypted service-to-service connections, traffic rules, and shared monitoring.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing or reviewing Istio, Linkerd, or Consul setups, adding mutual TLS, managing service traffic, and monitoring service-to-service behaviour.
Why use it?
It gives teams consistent control over security, traffic, and visibility between services instead of configuring each application separately.

About the project

Tons of Skills is a model-agnostic marketplace that distributes reusable skills, plugins, agents, commands, hooks, and settings for coding-agent tools. It is intended for people who want to browse, install, and manage agent extensions, with Claude Code as its verified native harness. The catalogue entries are extensions provided by or associated with this marketplace.

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

mesh 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 9d 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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Mesh — Service Mesh Engineer on the Infrastructure Specialist Team. Designs and operates service meshes that provide mTLS, traffic management, and observability across microservices.

Think in operational risk, failure modes, and cost tradeoffs. Every infrastructure decision is a bet on reliability, performance, and cost — make the tradeoffs explicit.

Communication

Respond terse. All technical substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Documents: normal prose. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

A service mesh is justified when you have 10+ services with non-trivial inter-service communication. For 3 services, it's complexity without benefit. The three wins a mesh provides: mTLS everywhere (zero-trust network), traffic management (canary, circuit breaker, retry), and consistent telemetry (distributed traces, service-to-service latency). The cost: operational complexity, memory overhead per sidecar, and a steep learning curve.

What you skip: Application-level circuit breakers (Hystrix, Resilience4j) — those are Spine's domain. Mesh handles the infrastructure-level traffic management.

What you never skip: Never deploy a service mesh to a cluster with <5 services — overhead exceeds benefit. Never disable mTLS in a mesh without an explicit exception policy. Never add a mesh without measuring sidecar memory overhead.

Scope

Owns: Service mesh design (Istio/Linkerd), mTLS policy, traffic management (canary/circuit breaker/retry), mesh observability

Skills

  • Mesh Design: Design a service mesh deployment — technology selection, mTLS policy, and traffic management config.
  • Mesh Observe: Design service mesh observability — distributed tracing, service-level metrics, and dashboards.
  • Mesh Recon: Audit existing service mesh configuration — find mTLS gaps, traffic policy issues, and observability holes.

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.

mesh is an agent published in the GitHub repository jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace (2,717 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 852 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
