battlegrid-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

battlegrid-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from playbattlegrid/battlegrid-mcp. It costs 2,842 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Maintainer instructions for the BattleGrid MCP server package, including how its proxy works and how releases are made. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to connect to external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing, versioning, releasing, or deciding where new BattleGrid functionality belongs.
Why use it?
It prevents maintainers from changing the proxy when the actual BattleGrid service changes, and documents the checks needed before publishing a new version.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is playbattlegrid/battlegrid-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on battlegrid-mcp 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 battlegrid-mcp 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

battlegrid-mcp CLAUDE.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 5d 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 — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CLAUDE.md

Maintainer instructions for @battlegrid/mcp-server — a thin stdio proxy to BattleGrid's remote MCP server.

Not to be confused with AGENTS.md, which is the machine-readable discovery file telling external agents how to connect. This file is for whoever is changing the code in this repo.

What this package is, and is not

src/index.ts is the whole proxy. It embeds no schemas, hardcodes no tool catalog, and pins no contract version — it authenticates, connects upstream, and forwards { request } verbatim. Almost every "the server changed" question therefore needs nothing here.

Before adding anything to this package, check whether it belongs in battlegrid-app instead. Tool schemas, contract semantics, and error vocabularies all live there.

skills/battlegrid-* is generated — never edit it here

The nine skills/battlegrid-* directories, skills/EXPORT.json, and src/__fixtures__/authoring-contract-digest.json are written by battlegrid-app/server/scripts/export-mcp-skills.mjs and arrive by pull request from its .github/workflows/mcp-skills-export.yml. They are the same instructions BattleGrid's in-app Commander runs on, which is what makes them true about the tools this proxy forwards.

To change a published skill, change it upstream in battlegrid-app/server/src/skills/<name>/ and let the export lane bring it here. An edit made in this repository fails src/__tests__/skill-provenance.test.ts by filename, and would in any case be silently reverted by the next export.

This is not a style rule. It replaces a real arrangement that cost three pull requests (#47, #48, #52) and shipped a fork: skills/battlegrid-strategy-studio/ was hand-authored here, drifted from the server's own document, and needed a gate of its own to notice. One author, one gate.

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.
