metalsmith-plugin-mcp-server CLAUDE.md

metalsmith-plugin-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from wernerglinka/metalsmith-plugin-mcp-server. It costs 1,636 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-specific instruction file for Claude Code, an AI coding assistant, in a Metalsmith plugin that provides MCP tools. It sets development rules and explains how to work with the repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when developing, testing, releasing, or extending this Metalsmith MCP server. It also guides the assistant in choosing tools based on whether the directory is an existing or new project.
Why use it?
It keeps the assistant aligned with the project's conventions and prevents risky mistakes, such as changing configuration without permission or using fake Metalsmith objects in tests.

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

metalsmith-plugin-mcp-server 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.

Metalsmith Plugin MCP Server — Development Context

This file gives Claude what it needs to work in this repo. Project overview, release notes, and migration steps live in README.md, CHANGELOG.md, RELEASE.md, and MIGRATION.md respectively — don't duplicate them here.

Composes with ~/Documents/CLAUDE.md (loaded by Claude Code under ~/Documents/). Tone rules from there apply: direct, no agreement filler, prose over bullets, no em-dashes.

Hard rules

Never modify configuration files without explicit permission

Includes any .json, .yml, .yaml, .config.js. Always ask: "Should I modify [file] to [change]?"

The trap to remember: .release-it.json has "npm.publish": false intentionally. Werner publishes to npm manually. Do not flip this to true.

Detect context before invoking MCP tools

Run LS first. Files present (package.json, src/, README.md) → existing project; use get-template, validate, install-claude-md, edit files directly. Empty directory → new project; use plugin-scaffold. Never call plugin-scaffold against a populated directory.

Never mock Metalsmith in tests

Use a real Metalsmith instance against a temp directory. Applies to tests in this repo and to scaffolded plugin test templates. Mocking metalsmith(), metalsmith.match, metalsmith.debug, metalsmith.env, metalsmith.path, or plugin invocation has historically hidden signature mismatches, metadata bugs, and path resolution errors that only surfaced in production. Metalsmith lives in devDependencies for this reason. Mocking unrelated systems (network, non-Metalsmith fs concerns) is fine.

Follow MCP server recommendations verbatim

When the MCP server returns a recommendation, copy the suggested code or configuration exactly. Do not paraphrase, "simplify", or improvise an equivalent. Past Claude instances have done this and broken release workflows.

Pre-commit workflow

Before any commit or release, run in order:

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.
