dcc-mcp-3dsmax: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/vx-usage/SKILL.md

vx-usage is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-3dsmax. It costs 89 tokens per session (6,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for using vx, a universal development tool manager that installs tools when needed and runs them with a vx prefix. It supports common tools such as Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and Git.

In plain words
What is it for?
Running development commands, installing dependencies, building projects, testing code, and managing tools in projects that use vx.toml or .vx/.
Why use it?
It avoids requiring every developer or agent to install and manage each tool separately, while helping projects use consistent versions.

This is dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-3dsmax's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on dcc-mcp-3dsmax 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 dcc-mcp-3dsmax configures →

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/vx/dist.

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

vx-usage 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 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.

VX - Universal Development Tool Manager

One-sentence summary: vx = prefix any dev tool command with vx → it auto-installs the tool and runs it.

vx is a universal development tool manager that automatically installs and manages development tools (Node.js, Python/uv, Go, Rust, etc.) with zero configuration.

Core Concept

Instead of requiring users to manually install tools, prefix any command with vx:

vx node --version      # Auto-installs Node.js if needed
vx uv pip install x    # Auto-installs uv if needed
vx go build .          # Auto-installs Go if needed
vx cargo build         # Auto-installs Rust if needed
vx just test           # Auto-installs just if needed

vx is fully transparent - same commands, same arguments, just add vx prefix.

Essential Commands

Tool Execution (most common)

vx <tool> [args...]           # Run any tool (auto-installs if missing)
vx node app.js                # Run Node.js
vx python script.py           # Run Python (via uv)
vx npm install                # Run npm
vx npx create-react-app app   # Run npx
vx cargo test                 # Run cargo
vx just build                 # Run just (task runner)
vx git status                 # Run git
vx gh pr status               # Run GitHub CLI

Git and GitHub for Codex

When Codex or another AI agent works in a vx-managed repository, use vx-managed Git and GitHub CLI commands. Do not run bare git or bare gh.

vx git status --short --branch
vx git fetch origin main
vx git checkout -B fix/example origin/main
vx git diff --stat
vx git add path/to/file
vx git commit -m "fix: example"

vx gh issue view 123
vx gh pr view 456 --json title,state,headRefName
vx gh pr checks 456
vx gh run view 789 --json status,conclusion,jobs

Token-Efficient Agent Workflows

vx is not just an installation wrapper. For agents, it is the stable way to use fast search, structured GitHub queries, JSON filters, and scoped diffs without spending tokens on irrelevant output.

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.

vx-usage is a skill published in the GitHub repository dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-3dsmax (4 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 89 tokens to every session and 6,056 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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.
