true-skills: Instructions file for Kiro

.kiro/steering/platform-setup.md

true-skills platform-setup.md is an instructions file for Kiro from katalon-labs/true-skills. It costs 2,901 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for connecting an coding agent to Katalon True Platform through Katalon MCP, a connection that lets software tools use Katalon operations. It covers installation, configuration, and connection checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install or configure the Katalon connection, check readiness, and discover projects, requirements, test cases, runs, results, and related data.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a configured connection from an unavailable one before you attempt testing actions. It also clarifies which platform operations can and cannot be performed through the connection.

Instructions file for Kiro

Written for Kiro: installed under .kiro/. Also seen: mentions Codex.

This is katalon-labs/true-skills's own configuration. It tells Kiro how to work on true-skills 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 true-skills configures →

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

true-skills platform-setup.md 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 21d 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 — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Katalon Platform Setup

Use this skill for Katalon MCP installation, connection, and readiness checks. Do not use it for designing or running tests unless the setup check leads directly into create-test-cases, execute-test, or the larger true-platform-testing skill.

This skill is agent-neutral. The Katalon MCP server is the same for every agent (terminal coding agents, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Kiro, Windsurf, and others); only the config file location and format differ per agent. For the exact per-agent config path and snippet, read the repository README.md install section.

Setup Boundary

Be explicit about what can be verified from the current environment:

  • Available through Katalon MCP once connected: project/repository discovery, requirement reads, test case/suite operations, manual runs, AI sessions, automated scheduling, results, metrics, and ALM-linked defects.
  • Not directly available through Katalon MCP: create requirements, create a formal Test Plan entity, inspect live AUT pages, or guarantee AI execution completion.
  • If no Katalon MCP tools are exposed in the current session, do not claim the platform is connected.

Read references/capability-boundaries.md when explaining available operations.

Required Setup Inputs

For setup requests, collect the minimum routing and authentication choices before writing or testing MCP config:

  1. Resolve the Katalon MCP endpoint:
    • Default to the canonical endpoint https://platform.katalon.io/mcp. It serves every workspace and presents a picker after sign-in, so do not ask for a subdomain unless something below applies.
    • If the installed config still contains the <your.sub.domain> placeholder, replace it with the canonical endpoint rather than asking the user to fill it in.
    • Only ask for a domain when the user names a dedicated Katalon domain, or when the local config mentions more than one Katalon domain - then list the candidates and ask which one they want.
    • Normalize a bare subdomain to https://<sub>.katalon.io/mcp.
  2. Ask how the user wants to authenticate when auth is required:
    • Browser OAuth flow with an agent restart/reload after login.
    • CLI/local mcp-remote login bootstrap.
    • Login email/account label only for account selection.
  3. Never ask for passwords, API tokens, cookies, JWTs, MFA codes, or OAuth callback URLs in chat. If the user offers "login information", accept only non-secret routing details such as login email, organization, domain, project name, or repository/Test Project name.
  4. After authentication succeeds and Katalon tools are available, call list_projects. If more than one project is returned, list the projects and ask which project to use before calling repository-specific tools.
  5. After project selection, call list_repositories with the selected project_id. If more than one repository/Test Project is returned and none is clearly implied by the user's request, list the repositories and ask which one to use.

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.
