code-explainer-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/smoke/SKILL.md

smoke is a skill for Claude Code from BillDuke13/code-explainer-mcp. It costs 39 tokens per session (553 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A local end-to-end check for the explainCode endpoint, which receives a code snippet and returns an explanation. It starts the Worker development server, sends a sample request, and checks that the response is not empty.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify that the local Worker responds correctly before deploying or after modifying the code-explanation feature.
Why use it?
It catches missing secrets, startup failures, and broken endpoint responses after code changes.

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

smoke scanned grade A 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 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.

What it actually says

Smoke-test the explainCode endpoint

Verify the Worker handles a real explainCode request end to end against the local dev server.

Steps

  1. Resolve the secret (never print it). Load .dev.vars so $SHARED_SECRET is set:

    set -a; [ -f ./.dev.vars ] && . ./.dev.vars; set +a
    

    The Worker fails closed: if SHARED_SECRET is unset or still the YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE placeholder, every request returns 503. Stop and tell the user to put a real secret in .dev.vars before smoke-testing:

    case "${SHARED_SECRET:-}" in '' | YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE) echo 'Set a real SHARED_SECRET in .dev.vars first'; exit 1 ;; esac
    
  2. Start the dev server if it isn't already listening on port 8787. Launch npm run dev in the background, then poll until the port answers (bounded to ~30s; fail if it never comes up):

    for _ in $(seq 1 30); do curl -sf -o /dev/null http://localhost:8787 && break; sleep 1; done
    curl -sf -o /dev/null http://localhost:8787 || { echo 'dev server did not start within 30s'; exit 1; }
    
  3. Send a sample request (use the snippet/language from CLAUDE.local.md if set):

    curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:8787 \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $SHARED_SECRET" \
      -d '{"method":"explainCode","params":["function add(a, b) { return a + b; }","javascript"]}'
    
  4. Check the result: the response must be JSON with a non-empty result string. Report PASS/FAIL and show the first few lines of result. On FAIL (non-200, missing result, or an error field), surface the status code and body.

  5. Clean up: stop the dev server you started in step 2 (kill the background wrangler dev process). Do not stop a server the user already had running.

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.

smoke is a skill published in the GitHub repository BillDuke13/code-explainer-mcp (8 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 553 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
