scout_apm_mcp.rb: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/engineering-audit/SKILL.md

engineering-audit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from amkisko/scout_apm_mcp.rb. It costs 130 tokens per session (630 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured method for reviewing an application's engineering pipeline, from incoming requests through application logic, storage, queues, workers, external services, and outgoing responses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Engineering audits, systems reviews, analysis of performance-critical paths, Big-O complexity reviews, and inspections of multi-stage data pipelines.
Why use it?
It helps identify the most dangerous and certain problems first, rather than producing an unprioritized list of observations. It also distinguishes missing test coverage from tests that would not provide useful evidence.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is amkisko/scout_apm_mcp.rb's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on scout_apm_mcp.rb 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 scout_apm_mcp.rb 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

engineering-audit 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 4d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Engineering audit

Use when asked for an engineering audit, systems review, hot-path analysis, Big-O review, pipeline-style inspection, resource and budget review, trace and identification review, or a product-health pass.

Read engineering-audit.md in this skill directory for dimensions, indicators, stage checks, boundary and control mode, optional product modes, finding format, and ranking. Read resource-and-budget.md and trace-and-identification.md for every tree that can execute. Skip those two files only when the tree never becomes executed bytes, and state that reason.

Read the matching optional file when the product has that surface: product-surface.md, privacy.md, performance.md, observability.md, security.md, contracts.md, learned-systems.md. Skip and state the reason when it does not. Stay on concepts. Do not require a named framework or vendor tool.

Quick reference

Pipeline:

ingress → app logic → cache → database → queue → worker → external API → egress

Order findings by danger, then certainty, then impact, then fix cost. Present the smallest credible fix before structural rewrite. Separate missing coverage from futile coverage. Indicators are categorizable, measurable, and representable.

When the system has external services, devices, operators, or physical actuators, also run boundary and control mode: who commands whom, interface deviations, and whether intended, commanded, reported, inferred, and physical state can diverge without an alarm.

When the product has a place the person can return to, also ask whether unknown identifiers, auth returns, forbidden, error-body status, timeouts, rate limits, 5xx survival of answers, write conflicts, system-initiated recreation, file controls, and deep links, live refresh, or reconnect that replace in-progress work stay honest for the person and for status-based counters.

For every tree that can execute, also run resource and budget mode: measure memory, CPU, storage, network, and energy against a named ceiling; label cheaper, smaller, or greener as inference until benched. Also run trace and identification mode: which emissions identify a person or device, which observers see them, and whether they appear in what this product showed the person for this run. Skip those two modes only when the tree never becomes executed bytes.

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.

engineering-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository amkisko/scout_apm_mcp.rb (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 630 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
