report-issue-local

report-issue-local is a skill for Claude Code from cyanheads/smithsonian-mcp-server. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,955 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of report-issue-local, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for filing bugs or feature requests in the MCP server's own code repository. It covers problems in tool logic, integrations, configuration, data handling, and domain rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify the correct repository, search existing issues, and report incorrect results, failed integrations, configuration errors, stale data, or missing schema descriptions.
Why use it?
It helps separate server-specific problems from bugs in the underlying framework, so issues reach the right place and duplicate reports are avoided.

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

report-issue-local 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 9d 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 — 310 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

The bug is in this server's code, not in @cyanheads/mcp-ts-core. Typical triggers:

  • A tool handler returns wrong results or throws on valid input
  • A service integration (external API, database, third-party SDK) fails or misbehaves
  • Server-specific config (server-config.ts) rejects valid env vars or has wrong defaults
  • Resource handlers return stale, incomplete, or incorrect data
  • Domain logic errors — wrong calculations, missing edge cases, bad state transitions
  • Missing or incorrect .describe() on schema fields causing poor LLM tool use

If the issue is in the framework itself (builders, Context, utilities, type exports, linter), use report-issue-framework instead.

For general gh CLI workflows outside issue filing (PRs, workflows, API access), see the github-cli skill.

Before Filing

  1. Identify the repo:
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q '.nameWithOwner'
  1. Search existing issues — if a close match exists (same symptom, different tool; same tool, different symptom; closed issue that might cover the new case), add a comment on that issue instead of filing a new one — unless the symptom or scope is distinct enough to warrant separate tracking:
gh issue list --search "your error message or keyword" --state all

# Assess a close match before commenting — is it already linked to a fix or referenced elsewhere?
gh issue view <number> --comments
gh api 'repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues/<number>/timeline' --paginate \
  --jq '.[] | select(.event=="cross-referenced") | .source.issue | "\(.repository.full_name)#\(.number) — \(.title)"'
  1. Reproduce the issue — confirm it's reproducible. Note the exact input, transport mode, and any relevant env vars.

  2. Check logs — review ctx.log output and any framework telemetry for clues. If running HTTP, check the response body for structured error details.

Writing Well-Structured Issues

Good issues are scannable, concrete, and self-contained — terse and fact-dense. Default to one or two sentences per bullet; if a bullet runs long, split it or cut it. These patterns apply to both bugs and features — the guidance targets any prose block (Description, Additional context, feature proposals).

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.
