sumo-qa AGENTS.md

Setup instructions for sumo-qa, an MCP server and installer that connects a project to supported coding-agent hosts. It also describes how to create GitHub issues using the repository's templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install sumo-qa, configure detected hosts such as Claude Code, and prepare correctly formatted GitHub issues for implementation work.
Why use it?
It explains the expected installation path and host configuration, reducing setup mistakes when adding sumo-qa to an agent environment.

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 B, and why

sumo-qa AGENTS.md scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

AGENTS.md, sumo-qa setup

If you're an AI agent setting up sumo-qa for the user, follow this exactly. One command for the common case; per-host flags if you only need to wire one host.

GitHub issue creation

When creating GitHub issues, use the closest template in .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ and include every required field in the issue body. For implementation tasks raised by an AI agent, use .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ai-task.yml unless a more specific template fits better.

Default: configure every detected host

python -m pip install sumo-qa
python -m sumo_qa.installer

pip install sumo-qa creates both sumo-qa (the MCP server binary) and sumo-qa-install (this configurator). Use python -m sumo_qa.installer for setup because it works even when the pip Scripts directory is not on PATH yet.

What sumo-qa-install does:

  1. Locates the sumo-qa MCP binary. If pip install sumo-qa already put it on PATH (the common case), uses that path directly: no uv invocation. If sumo-qa is not on PATH yet, falls back to uv tool install and prints uv install instructions if uv is also missing.
  2. Claude Code (if ~/.claude/ exists): symlinks each skills/<name>/ into ~/.claude/skills/<name>/. Writes claude_desktop_config.json with the MCP entry pointing at the absolute binary path.
  3. VS Code + Copilot (if cwd is a workspace with .git / .vscode / package.json / etc.): writes .vscode/mcp.json with the VS Code-native schema (servers key, type: stdio).
  4. JetBrains IDEs (if JetBrains config dir exists): prints exact Settings UI steps. JetBrains' MCP plugin requires Settings UI registration: external XML writes don't reliably register the runtime coroutine.
  5. Verifies the binary responds to JSON-RPC initialize.

Per-host flags

Use these when you only want to configure one host:

python -m sumo_qa.installer --claude-code              # Claude Code only
python -m sumo_qa.installer --vscode                   # VS Code workspace (cwd-based)
python -m sumo_qa.installer --vscode --workspace /path/to/repo
python -m sumo_qa.installer --jetbrains                # Prints JetBrains UI steps only
python -m sumo_qa.installer --vscode --skip-mcp-install   # Skip uv reinstall for speed

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.
