add-prompt

add-prompt is a skill for Claude Code from cyanheads/attack-surface-mcp-server. It costs 37 tokens per session (1,357 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of add-prompt, Apache-2.0.

A reusable message template for an MCP server, where MCP is a standard way for AI applications to call tools and use data. The template can define a purpose and arguments for an interaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and register a new prompt template in an MCP server, then check that the definition follows the project’s rules.
Why use it?
It avoids rewriting the same instructions for common conversations and gives users a consistent way to start an interaction.

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

add-prompt 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 8d 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 — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Context

Prompts use the prompt() builder from @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core. Each prompt lives in src/mcp-server/prompts/definitions/ with a .prompt.ts suffix. The standard registration pattern uses a definitions/index.ts barrel that collects all prompts into an allPromptDefinitions array for createApp(). Fresh scaffolds start with direct imports in src/index.ts — the barrel is introduced as definitions grow. Match the pattern already used by the project you're editing.

Prompts are pure message templates — no Context, no auth, no side effects. generate can be sync or async (returns PromptMessage[] | Promise<PromptMessage[]>).

Steps

  1. Gather the prompt's name, purpose, and arguments from the user's request — ask only if genuinely absent
  2. Create the file at src/mcp-server/prompts/definitions/{{prompt-name}}.prompt.ts
  3. Register the prompt in the project's existing createApp() prompt list (directly in src/index.ts for fresh scaffolds, or via a barrel if the repo already has one)
  4. Run bun run devcheck to verify

Template

/**
 * @fileoverview {{PROMPT_DESCRIPTION}}
 * @module mcp-server/prompts/definitions/{{PROMPT_NAME}}
 */

import { completable, prompt, z } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core';

export const {{PROMPT_EXPORT}} = prompt('{{prompt_name}}', {
  description: '{{PROMPT_DESCRIPTION}}',
  // title is optional — human-readable display name surfaced in prompts/list.
  // title: '{{PROMPT_DISPLAY_TITLE}}',
  // args is optional — omit entirely for prompts with no parameters.
  // When present, all fields need .describe(). Only JSON-Schema-serializable types allowed.
  // Wrap any field with completable() to enable argument autocompletion.
  args: z.object({
    // All fields need .describe()
    // language: completable(z.string().describe('Language'), async (partial) => matchingLanguages(partial)),
  }),
  generate: (args) => [
    {
      role: 'user',
      content: {
        type: 'text',
        text: `{{PROMPT_TEMPLATE_TEXT}}`,
      },
    },
  ],
});

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.
