mcp-server-ppt development-workflow.instructions.md

A contribution workflow for the PowerPoint MCP server, including branches, pull requests, automated checks, and review comments. A pull request is a proposed code change submitted for review before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a feature branch, opening a pull request, checking automated reviews, or preparing a release-related change.
Why use it?
It clarifies the project’s required process and reduces mistakes such as changing the protected main branch or overlooking review feedback.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-server-ppt development-workflow.instructions.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 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.

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.

Development Workflow

Required process for all contributions

Branch Protection

⛔ NEVER commit directly to main

Enforced: PR reviews, CI/CD checks, create a branch first, up-to-date branches, no force pushes

Development Process

  1. Create feature branch: git checkout -b feature/name
  2. Standards: Zero warnings, tests pass, docs updated, security rules followed
  3. PR Checklist: Build passes, tests pass, docs updated, patterns followed
  4. Check PR review comments: After creating PR, retrieve automated review feedback and fix all issues
  5. Versions: Automated via release workflow - don't update manually

PR Review Comment Workflow

After creating a PR, ALWAYS check for automated review comments:

# Retrieve inline code review comments using GitHub CLI
# ⚠️ IMPORTANT: gh CLI requires authentication with a PERSONAL GitHub account.
# Enterprise Managed User (EMU) accounts cannot access public repos via gh CLI.
# Use: gh auth login --with-token (with a personal access token)
gh api repos/trsdn/mcp-server-ppt/pulls/PULL_NUMBER/comments --paginate

# Or use the mcp_github tool if available
mcp_github_github_pull_request_read(method="get_review_comments", owner="trsdn", repo="mcp-server-ppt", pullNumber=PULL_NUMBER)

Common automated reviewers:

  • Copilot (code quality, performance, style)
  • github-advanced-security (security scanning, code analysis)

Common issues to fix:

  • Improper /// <inheritdoc/> on constructors/test methods that don't override
  • .AsSpan().ToString() inefficiency - use [..n] range operator instead
  • Nullable type access without null checks
  • foreach.Select() for functional style
  • Nested if statements that can be combined
  • Generic catch clauses - use specific exceptions or add justification
  • Path.Combine security warnings - suppress with justification for test code

Fix all automated review comments before requesting human review.

Test Execution

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.
