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

mcp-repo-onboarding AGENTS.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 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.

AGENTS.md — Agent & Copilot Instructions

Current Status

  • Phase 7 (Domain Specialization): COMPLETE (Notebook detection, Prompt/Tool UX).
  • Phase 8 (Refinement): ACTIVE (Determinism, Maintainability, Scaffold).
  • Validation Authority: scripts/validate_onboarding.py is the source of truth for all code generation.

Output Verification

When verifying output, ensure no files from tests/fixtures/ appear in the lists. Refer to EXTRACT_OUTPUT_RULES.md for the priority order.

Project Identity

  • Name: mcp-repo-onboarding
  • Language: Python 3.11+ (100% Python scope)
  • Manager: uv
  • Architecture: FastMCP (Server), Pydantic (Schema), Pytest (Testing).
  • Stable API (Tools): ping, analyze_repo, get_run_and_test_commands, read_onboarding, write_onboarding, get_onboarding_template.
  • Stable API (Prompts): generate_onboarding (Slash command: /generate_onboarding).

⚠️ CRITICAL: TDD Required

ALL code changes MUST follow Test-Driven Development:

  1. NEVER commit directly to the master branch. All changes must be verified in a feature branch first.
  2. Write failing test FIRST in tests/.
  3. Run test to confirm failure (uv run pytest).
  4. Implement the fix in src/.
  5. Run test to confirm pass (uv run pytest).

NO EXCEPTIONS. Do not write logic without a red test first.

⚠️ CRITICAL: Agent Must Never Write to evaluation_results.log

The agent MUST NOT modify, write to, or update evaluation_results.log under ANY circumstances.

This file is managed by the user only:

  • Agent runs uv run python scripts/validate_onboarding.py to verify output
  • Agent displays the output to the user
  • Agent NEVER writes to evaluation_results.log
  • User is solely responsible for updating this file

⚠️ CRITICAL: Trust the Plan and Documentation

FOLLOW THE PLAN. Do NOT deviate or second-guess:

  • If AGENTS.md or approved plan says master is clean → trust it. Do not "check" old commits.
  • If a plan specifies test structure → follow it exactly. Do not restore old commits thinking things are broken.
  • Always read the current documentation first. Do not assume state based on suspicion.
  • If status is documented (e.g., "Phase 7 COMPLETE"), do not undo or redo it.
  • Fetch from origin before making assumptions about branch state.

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.
