mpga-ask

mpga-ask is a skill for Claude Code from benrben/MPGA. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to answer questions about how code works by reading project documentation and linking to evidence in the codebase. It focuses on the smallest relevant parts of the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for questions such as how a feature works, where something is implemented, or what a part of the code does.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when locating code or explaining behavior, and makes the answer easier to verify.

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

mpga-ask 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ask

Evidence-backed answers. Evidence First — always.

Trigger: User asks "how does X work?", "where is X?", "what does X do?".

The Winning Protocol

  1. Read MPGA/INDEX.md for scope registry — find the SMALLEST relevant scopes first. Precision, people. We don't do sloppy.
  2. Read relevant scope document(s) — the answers are in there.
  3. Answer the question using evidence links as citations — evidence, not guessing.
  4. If the answer is incomplete — and sometimes, very rarely, it happens:
    • Spawn one read-only scout per missing scope in PARALLEL.
    • Ask each scout for evidence, traces, and unknowns only for its assigned scope.
    • Merge the findings into one answer.
  5. If the answer is already in scope docs, do NOT rescan the whole codebase.
  6. NEVER modify any files — read-only.

Confidence Scoring — We Rate EVERYTHING, Total Transparency

Rate EVERY claim in the answer with a confidence level — because we don't hide, we don't hedge, we SCORE:

  • HIGH — Directly verified in source code or scope docs. You read the file, you saw the line, it's RIGHT THERE.
    • Format: [HIGH] <claim> — [E] path/to/file.ts:42 :: functionName()
  • MEDIUM — Inferred from patterns, naming conventions, or related code. Reasonable but not directly confirmed.
    • Format: [MEDIUM] <claim> — inferred from [E] path/to/file.ts:42 :: similar pattern
  • LOW — Educated guess based on general knowledge or incomplete evidence. Could be WRONG.
    • Format: [LOW] <claim> — no direct evidence found, based on <reasoning>

If the overall answer confidence is LOW, say so upfront: "This answer has LOW confidence — consider verifying with a scout or reading the code directly."

Source Citations — Show Your Receipts, Always

Every claim MUST cite the specific source — no citations, no credibility. It's very simple:

  • For code: [E] src/module/file.ts:42-67 :: functionName() — <what it does>
  • For scope docs: [E] MPGA/scopes/<scope>.md — <what it says>
  • For config files: [E] path/to/config.json:key.path — <what it configures>
  • If no source exists: [Unknown] <claim> — not documented, needs investigation

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.
