mail-mcp: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/standards-sync/SKILL.md

standards-sync is a skill for Codex from davidvornholt/mail-mcp. It costs 41 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

Instructions for working with a standards sync system, where shared files are copied from one canonical source to other repositories. A canonical file is the main version that other copies depend on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before editing synced files, when publishing changes to all consumer repositories, or when running and testing the Bun standards commands.
Why use it?
It helps prevent edits to shared standards from becoming inconsistent or being made in the wrong repository.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is davidvornholt/mail-mcp's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on mail-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything mail-mcp configures →

Reuse

Borrowing it

Nothing to install: this file belongs to davidvornholt/mail-mcp. Take a copy, put it at the same path in your own repository, and replace the rules that are about this project with yours.

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

standards-sync 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 3d 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 ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
