proposal

proposal is a command for Claude Code from mendixlabs/mxcli. It costs 12 tokens per session (1,395 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided command for writing a structured feature proposal in a project documentation folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for proposing new Mendix features and investigating related project code or documentation before implementation.
Why use it?
It turns an idea into a documented plan by asking about the goal, version support, MDL syntax, and BSON, the data format used by Mendix documents.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./bin/mxcli -p project.mpr -c "SHOW STRUCTURE ALL" | grep -i <feature-name>.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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

proposal 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 6d 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.

/mxcli-dev:proposal — Create Feature Proposal

Guide the contributor through creating a well-structured feature proposal for mxcli. The proposal goes in docs/11-proposals/PROPOSAL_<name>.md.

Process

Work through these phases interactively — ask the user questions, don't guess. Each phase produces concrete output.

Phase 1: Understand the Feature

Ask the user:

  1. What do you want to add? (one sentence)
  2. Why — what problem does this solve, or what user story does it enable?
  3. Which Mendix version introduced this capability? (affects version-gating)
  4. Does this add MDL syntax? (create/alter/drop/list/describe statements, or a microflow/nanoflow activity)
  5. Does this touch BSON serialization? (reading or writing Mendix documents)

If the user isn't sure about version or BSON, help them find out:

  • Version: check the Mendix release notes
  • BSON: check if similar features exist in mdl/backend/modelsdk/*_read.go or *_write.go

Phase 2: BSON Investigation (if applicable)

CRITICAL: If the feature reads or writes Mendix documents, investigate the BSON structure BEFORE designing syntax. Wrong assumptions here cause CE errors in Studio Pro that are painful to debug.

  1. Find a working example — ask the user:

    • "Do you have a test .mpr project with this feature already configured in Studio Pro?"
    • If yes: use mxcli bson dump or mxcli bson discover to extract the BSON structure
    • If no: ask them to create a minimal example in Studio Pro first
  2. Extract the BSON structure:

    # Find the document type
    ./bin/mxcli -p project.mpr -c "SHOW STRUCTURE ALL" | grep -i <feature-name>
    
    # Dump the raw BSON
    ./bin/mxcli bson dump -p project.mpr --type "<BSON $Type>"
    
    # Or discover all instances of a type
    ./bin/mxcli bson discover -p project.mpr --pattern "<pattern>"
    
  3. Document the BSON structure in the proposal:

    • Storage name ($Type field) — verify against modelsdk/gen/<domain>/types.go and the dumped document
    • All fields with types and observed values
    • Any fields that use Mendix-internal IDs (pointers to other documents)
    • Note any counter-intuitive naming (like Parent/Child pointer inversion)

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.

proposal is a command published in the GitHub repository mendixlabs/mxcli (130 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,395 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
