lmd-rendering-skills

lmd-rendering-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dasTholo/lean-md. It costs 45 tokens per session (558 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for rendering phases of lmd skills, which are delegated instructions loaded when needed. It explains how to send rendering requests through the correct lean-ctx gateway or directly to the lean-md server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when rendering an lmd skill phase or companion, or when a rendering call fails and you need to check the connection setup.
Why use it?
It helps diagnose failed render calls caused by using the wrong connection route. This prevents treating a misaddressed request as a broken service.

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

lmd-rendering-skills 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.

What it actually says

lmd-rendering-skills

Every lmd-* skill is a delegation stub. Its body lives in the version-pinned pack @dastholo/lean-md-skills and renders on demand, one phase at a time. Never read a body or companion file from disk.

The call

In the lean-ctx addon topology — lean-md aggregated behind the lean-ctx gateway, the common case and the one this skill exists for — ctx_md_render is NOT a direct tool. lean-md is a separate stdio MCP server, reachable only through the gateway:

ctx_tools(action="call", tool="lean-md::ctx_md_render",
          arguments={"skill": "<skill>", "phase": "<phase>"})

Pass exactly one of phase or companion:

arguments={"skill": "<skill>", "companion": "<name>"}

Behind the gateway a direct ctx_md_render(...) call cannot succeed — lean-ctx holds no lean-md code. The failure reads like a dead gateway; it is a misaddressed call. (Wired straight into your MCP client instead — lean-md mcp as its own server — lean-md exposes ctx_md_render as a plain direct tool; then call it bare. Step 1 below tells you which topology you are in.)

Diagnosis order

  1. ctx_tools(action="list") — does it show lean-md [stdio, enabled]? Then you are behind the gateway, everything works, and the call was merely misaddressed. Fix the call, do not fall back. (No lean-ctx gateway at all, but ctx_md_render sits in your own tool list? Direct topology — the bare call is correct.)
  2. Transport closed? Retry once — sporadic, the gateway respawns the server.
  3. Only if the server is genuinely absent: shell fallback (below).

Shell fallback (absent server only)

Read lean_md_bin and lean_md_skills_dir from .lean-ctx/lean-md/vars.toml, export LEAN_MD_SKILLS_DIR=<lean_md_skills_dir>, then run <lean_md_bin> render --skill <skill> --phase <phase> --consumer=ai. Without lean_md_skills_dir the binary reports PACK_MISSING. Same binary, byte-identical output.

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.

lmd-rendering-skills is a skill published in the GitHub repository dasTholo/lean-md (5 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 558 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
